    Got any pictures?

    Although if you don't know the cross for sure it would be purely guess work.

    Most dogs do tend to do a massive proportion of growing in their first 6 months though.

    My pup is 6 months, she weighed 10.6kgs on her 6 month birthday, her mum weighs 14.6kgs, so that's what I'm expecting the pup to be when she's mature, so she's just over 2/3 of her adult weight at 6 months.

    He's cute! I don't think you can really give a figure with a cross, even a guess may be totally out. My mum recently adopted a Collie x puppy, with no clue of what she was crossed with or how big she'd get! I think she's going to be a fairly small dog but someone on another dog forum posted a crossbreed pup that looked almost identical, from the ear shape, colourings, etc. you could've said they were the same dog, yet she was probably twice the size when you saw a photo of it with another dog. The bigger cross was apparently a Husky x Rottie! You can tell Bella definately isn't that cross as she's no where near the right size :lol:
    I would say at 6 months he's probably nearing his adult height though, and most of the growing from then onwards will be filling out. Staffies don't tend to get too tall, but if there's a larger breed in there you may find he'll keep growing for a few more months yet.
    Btw, big paws indicating a big dog is a bit of a myth - sometimes it can be a sign but I had a GSD pup who had massive paws in comparison with her body, and her dad was apparently a big dog, but she never grew that tall. She was still being mistaken for a puppy when she was 3-4 as she was quite short for her breed! Yet everyone had seen her as a pup and said "Look at those paws! She's going to be a big dog"

    the vet said she doesnt think he will grow any taller but he still has a lot of filling out to do. do you know what weight a six month old staffie is roughly?
