I am thinking about getting 1. I'm getting her while she is a baby only a few weeks old but I want too know how big shes going to get.
she looks like this http://losangeles.craigslist.org/ant/pet/979949452.html
As long as the poodle was not a standard all the dogs were small and i would expect the same.
Good Luck and God Bless

As all 3 breeds are on the small side the dog will likely stay on the small side but there is know way to know an exact size range as mutts are unpredictable.

No way to really tell with a mixed breed puppy. She could take after one or two or even all three. No way to predict size, looks, temperment, etc.
I do hope you are adopting this puppy from a shelter or rescue group and not from a pet shop or backyard breeder.

By a few weeks old I hope you mean at least 8 and at best 10-12 since she is a small breed. Under 8 weeks is illegal to have away from the mother.
Secondly she will more than likely be a small dog unless the parents are larger than normal
Westie :
The ideal size is eleven inches at the withers for dogs and ten inches for bitches
Poodle – Miniature: over 10 but under 15 inches; Toy: 10 inches or under.
Papillon – Size – Height at withers, 8 to 11 inches.
So go from there

They should get up to about 25 pounds im guessing.
Small medium.
Not SMALL small .

It all depends on the size of the Sire/Dam
Of course you wouldn't have gotten to see either parent at the pet shop where you bought your puppymilled "designer dog"
The problem with a mutt/mongrel dog is nothing is certain:
Size/Temperament/Health etc.
What if your dog does grow big – would that even matter??
Surely you got the dog and have fallen in love with the personality
not the fact that it may fit into your handbag!
A dog is a friend for life and not a fashion accessory.
If you haven't already got this dog – Don't get one you are already coming across as superficial and not worthy to be the owner of ANY dog!
