Question
I have a chiweenie the mother is half chihuaua half daschund and the father is the same the mother is about 16 pounds and the father is about 18 pounds. my pup is 6 weeks and weighs 3.5 pouunds how big do you think he will get

Answer
Kisha,
There is no way to tell at this time, but I would think that the dachshund would be dominant so the pup will probably be up near the 16-18 lb mark.  But as I say there is no real way to tell right now unless you get a DNA test done to see if the Chihuahua is the dominant gene.
