rat terrier weight

Question
I have a 9 week old rat terrier. He weighs 4 lbs now. How old will he be when he should reach his full weight? The breeder said he would weigh about 10 lbs. grown. Thanks!

Answer
There is a lot of variation within every breed, but the breeder should have a good idea of the final weight... Sure sounds like your pup is in a hurry to get to his final weight !

Please expect some variation though. For instance my purebred jack russell terrier is 15" tall and weighs nearly 30 lbs... but I do not know his breeding since I got him from a shelter.

I bet he's going to be a cutie no matter what size he ends up.
