Rusty is such a cutie and it’s lovely to see him bonded with his fur siblings.
They grow very quickly don’t they? My minipoo, Theo, is about one month ahead of Rusty at 7 months. He was slightly heavier than Rusty. He’s now 15.5 pounds and might be an oversized minipoo. Both his parents are minipoos with AKC championship so they both had to be between 10” and just under 15”. I met his mother and grandmother and both must have been slightly under 15”. I’m thrilled because this is the size I had hoped for. I think he’s probably finished growing in height but I’m not sure. Time will tell. Minipoos can finish growing anywhere between 7 months to a year.
You never know what size they will be. When you see the size of the parents you get a good estimate but there’s no guarantee and it’s not unheard of a puppy ending up being far larger or smaller than the parents. One of the parents of your dog has a herding dog as it’s parent because of your dog’s merle siblings. Between the herding dog as well as a miniature and toy mix your puppy has a lot of different influences for size. Rusty has clearly outgrown his tpoo mum.
He’s growing into a lovely furkid.
