Spitz size and weight

Hi everyone,

I'm posting because I have a question about my puppy.

We adopted a Pomeranian-type puppy (not KC registered, so not a "proper" pedigree). According to the vet, he hasn't got as much fur as you'd see on other purebred Pomeranians because of a bit of dietary seborrhoea from the private breeder we bought him from, as well as some scaly skin we're treating. With the right food, his coat is growing more and more every day. As time passes, he's starting to look more like a Spitz, and we're already in love with his cute face and playful personality. A real bundle of joy!

I have a quick question about his growth, though. We're well aware that you can't get a proper purebred Pomeranian puppy for less than £1,750, but we aren't bothered—we didn't want a show dog, just a great companion. However, we find Yoshi very small and we're wondering how big he'll be as an adult.

He's 10 weeks old (born 28/10/2018), weighs about 1.5 lbs (680g) and measures 15 cm (about 6 inches) from the ground to the tips of his ears. That's not to the withers, so he's about 8 cm (roughly 3 inches) at the shoulder. Could you tell me roughly what his adult size might be?

Thanks a lot!

    And weight-wise, I reckon less than 11 lbs, but then again dogs can always have a few surprises in store for us :)

    Hi there, I’ve never seen one quite that tiny before, so I reckon he’s going to be a Pomeranian. Is his coat sable? Have you had him for two weeks now? Anyway, best of luck, but just a heads-up that this breed can be very yappy despite their small size!
