I have a five month old American Eskimo Dog that is 12 pounds. Her parents were mini's but if I remember correctly they seem a lot bigger than her. How much more should i expect her to grow? When do smaller breeds generally stop growing?

8 to 12 mo. i had a tea cup that had pups pure breed 1 was so tiny and one we called mr beefy i don't know what happened it was crazy big

um.. small dogs grow mature at age 2 (as in the age they can breed but she might just take a year) and their hight at age 2 (weight depends on how much u feed her and what u feed her

Usually 2-3 years depending on their breed.

6 months old........at 8 months they stop growing

in breeds in general there is a difference in maturity and when a dog reaches full growth. Many small breeds do not reach full size till approx 2 years of age, larger breeds may take longer on average. As there is no way to determine growth activity as siblings from the same litter may grow at different times in long slow spurts or short quick spurts. Though all may be the same size when fully grown, they may not be the same size at at 8 months or at one year. Wait til the dog reaches approx 2 years and you should see safely the size it will be. It is also not a good idea to assume the dogs size soley on the size of the dam and sire. It is very common for the dams or sires parents size to also play into the pups size when fully grown.

It depends really. Usually about 1-2 years old. I don't know what the other people were talking about saying 6-8 months old!!!

Usually around 2 years old
not sure where the 6-8 month response came from
but most small breeds are around 2 yrs old
the larger breeds can be a bit older than that
