How big is my mutt going to get?
About a month ago, we found a very dirty, but very cute puppy abandoned on the side of the highway. My mother in law, a dog breeder, guessed that he was about 12 weeks old. Our best bet is that he is a Pomeranian / West Highland Terrier mix. (He matches the photos on google for them PERFECTLY.) Just wondering how big-ish you guys think he might end up being.
P.S.
We found him a month ago. He didn't have a collar, and he looked very disheveled. We posted an ad in the Trading Post and on Craigslist. But, no one ever claimed him. So, we kept him. And we love him very much.
Thanks in advance, guys!
You are "guessing" at his breed mix based on photos you found on the internet.. that doesnt mean he is that particular mix.
Your vet can probably give you an educated guess based on the pup's current size, and his age.. the vet can also better judge his age based on his dentation.

Poms get about 7lbs-12lbs and WHT's get about 20lbs-24lbs.
You wont really know til he is fully grown which is around 1 year to 14-16 months old.
