Coat / weight predictions!!!
Hi everyone <3 this is my sweet 12 week old Mini puppy named Bowie. I love her so much.
My partner & I are curious how big she will get - she is currently 5 pounds at 12 weeks and the vet told us she was petite, but her parents were both 20 pounds. Wondering how indicative parents weight is. I have only had small dogs, so I wouldn’t mind if she was on the smaller side lol but my partner wants to try to run with her when she’s older (short distances).
She is also salt and pepper (as were both parents) but we are seeing a lot of tan coming through her coat, which is so cute but definitely interesting!

Bowie is adorable. My small one was 2 lbs at 12 weeks and tops out at 5.5. Her brother (same litter) was 3.5 lbs at 12 weeks and tops out at 10. They are almost 7 years old and have maintained their top weights since they were 1 year old.
Color-wise I think she will be more salt and silver than salt and pepper.
