Today I would like to give you an update on the size of the puppies in our schnoodle litter, since these weights may influence your puppy picking preference. This morning I weighed all the puppies. I will list them in order of their size.
 |
At 4 weeks Rosie weights 23 oz. (1.5 lbs) |
I weighed Rosie first since she has the smallest frame of all the puppies. She weighed in at a mere 23 oz. That is right in line with the Toy Poodle weight at 4 weeks old. See chart: http://www.teacuppoodles.us/poodle_sizes1.htm We can therefore predict that Bella may grow up to be between 6-7 lbs. This chart is an estimate only and not a guarantee.

At 4 weeks Teddy weighs 32.2 oz. (about 2.2 lbs) |
The next smallest puppy in the litter is Teddy. Teddy weighs just over 2 lbs at 4 weeks. This is the same size as Scarlet/Bella at 4 weeks old. Bella was the smallest pup from last years litter. She grew to be 15 lbs at 1 year old. So we can expect a similar size for Teddy.

Buddy weighs 2 lbs 4 oz |
 |
Sugar weighs 2 lbs 5 oz |
 |
Mia weighs 2 lbs 6 oz (14 lbs adult weight) |
 |
Copper weighs 2 lbs 9 oz (Adult weight 20 lbs) |
 |
Bear weighs 2 lbs 10 oz |
Bear is the largest of the litter. He weighed in at 2 lbs 10 oz. The largest of the pups last year was Tigger/Remy. At 4 weeks old, Remy weighed 3 lbs 1oz. He grew up to weigh 20 lbs. So based on that comparison, we can make an estimate that Bear will be just under 20 lbs at 1 year old.
So in general we can say that with the exception of Rosie (Toy Schnoodle). The litter will range in size from 15 lbs to 20 lbs at 1 year old.
They will fill out a little more through their first year and add 2-3 lbs to that weight.
Remi matured to 23 lbs by his second year.
