Size of pups as adults

At 6 days old this pup weighs 12.3 oz. on my digital postal scale.

Most of my families are looking for Miniature Schnoodle sizes and I want to tell you, that from what the puppies are weighing at that present time, they  look to be Miniature size.  The father is a toy poodle, so I was concerned that toy size was a possibility, however, none of the Schnoodles are indicating that type of size at the present time.

This scale has a 5 lb weigh limit but is very accurate.

The puppies all range in weight from 8 oz to 10 oz.  The toy puppy is less than 10 lbs and generally is born at 6 to 6.5 oz. at birth.  The attached link, shows a weight chart that is a good indicator of the toy poodle size at various ages.

The Schnoodle is different from a Poodle and generally any Schnoodle under 13 lbs is considered a toy, but this chart does not cover these higher weights.

I will be continuing to weigh the puppies to get a good idea of their health,and we will do our best to estimate sizes.  To do this we  weigh the puppy at 6 weeks of age.  We double this weight and then double it again.  (ex...6 week old puppy weighs 4 pound = 8 + 8= 16 pound adult.)

Another way to estimate the adult size of a puppy is useful for families with older puppies. Many believe that a puppy will reach 50% of its expected size at the age of 4 months. To estimate the size multiply the 4 month old's height by 2 and length by 2. This, it is believed, is quite likely to be your dog's growth potential.

Height at the shoulder: 20-30 cm (8-12 in)
Weight: 3-6 kg (6-13 lb)

MINIATURE SCHNOODLE
Height at the shoulder: 30-40 cm (12-16 in)
Weight: 6-12 kg (13-26 lb)

The newborns are about the size of a teacup.
