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.
