Question about a rott/mix puppy...

[delila]

Hello all,

I adopted a rottweiler mix on may 15, and I was hoping to get your ideas/opinions on her approximate size when full grown.

This will be hard to do seeing that we have no idea what she is mixed with.

She is almost 3 months old, weights 20 lbs, but stands almost 17 inches from the floor to shoulder. Yes - she is a very lanky puppy who is all legs...

Any ideas?

P.s.

Here is her weight growth so far...
(all ages are approximate)

9 weeks - 8.8 lbs
10 weeks - 11 lbs
11 weeks - 16 lbs
3 months - 20 lbs

Didnt I already tell you I thought lab after looking at picture......roflmao...At least I thought I did....lol

Who knows Im actually typeing in my sleep right now....roflmao...maybe you should refer them to the picture and get some answers..but by god she looks part lab to me....and boy shes a cutie....;-)

Ah yes, the pictures..,

Under chit-chat corner my post is called "odin,delila,baby laika pictures" you may have to look for it - but it's in there!

The first two pictures are of the puppy in question. Those pictures were from the day I brought her home (about 8 or 9 wks old).

Yeah, we think she may have some lab, shepard, husky, a little bit of everything...

Just wanted your thoughts :)

oooooooooo!!!!!!!!

you want weight info!!

Ok my guess is she will top off at about 80 pounds give or take a few and she will be slim but muscular and strong..and yes she gonna have legs!!!!!!

Do I get a prize if Im right????

I guess we have to wate about a year or so or more to know hu?

[delila]

I am sure we will al still be around - and we can watch her grow. I think I even know a good amount about everyone's dogs here - we all become family after a while :)

The reason I brought this up was because when my other female was her age she weighed about 30 lbs and she was a teeny-weeny (all legs too) and I grossly underestimated her grown weight. I thought she would only be about 50-70 lbs in the end, but now at almost 9 months she is 90 lbs.

I guess time will tell....

This is an old method-at 4 months double the weight,that's all,it may not be accurate,but it gives a basic idea........at 4 months Selket was 48.2 lbs,20 inches at the soulder.At 15 months 96.4 lbs,25 1/2'.She has dropped a couple(Winter fat),now 18 months 92.2 lbs,but grew to 26 1/2',weird!She may have one more spurt before she is done,her breast bone is sticking out again.OH NOOOOO!!!!!

Pretty good guess. But, you really have NO idea, because she is a mixed breed, and because you haven't seen the parents.
