Question

Jake Beagle Mix
I have a beagle mix that weighs about 11 pounds at 12 weeks.  I don't know his other breed.  About how much will he weigh when he is grown?

Answer
Hi, Jake looks pretty big, for 3 months 11 pounds could be high for a regular full bred beagle. There is no way for anyone to predict what he will weigh at full grown since  we do not know what he is mixed with. Average beagle size is anywhere from 13 -16 inches high and 18-30 pounds but there are always outliers too due to uncontrolled breeding. I have a male aged 22 months who is 36 pounds but he is all beagle and not fat. So hard to say, are his feet really big, you can often tell if they have huge feet, mine does.

Experience

I currently have one beagle, a male age 5, an 12 month old Pit Bull, and a 8 year old min. poodle. I have had to let go of three of my dogs, 2 beagles and 1 whippet/rat terrier mix in the past 5 years, most recently my whippet mix. The two beagles lived to 15 and the whippet mix to 13.5, it has been hard to say goodbye to them. I have done rescue work on and off for years as well as fund-raising for the local animal shelter. I worked for a dog magazine in the past (Southern California Dog Magazine). Being a psychotherapist has encouraged me to do in depth studying of animal behavior as well. I have worked with many people to help curb undesirable behaviors in their dogs (or them!) or to form good behaviors. My life is devoted to and surrounded by my dogs........The picture you see here is Zeppelin but we also call him the "miracle dog". He was hit by a car April 2010 while out with the dog walker and had very serious injuries... 4 surgeries and $17,000 later my boy is whole again and back to loving life. He is so special to me and he weathered a lot of pain and trauma yet is still the sweet boy he always was! I also work to stop Breed Specific Legislation and help to get pit bulls adopted.
