Estimated Adult Weight
How Big Will My Toy Poodle Get?
Predicting the adult size of a Toy Poodle puppy is a common concern for new owners. While genetics play the most significant role, tracking your puppy's growth curve can provide a reasonably accurate estimate of their final weight. Toy Poodles are generally classified as Poodles standing under 10 inches tall at the shoulder, typically weighing between 4 and 6 pounds, though some may reach up to 9 or 10 pounds.
The Toy Poodle Growth Curve
Unlike larger breeds, Toy Poodles reach their physical maturity relatively quickly. Most Toy Poodles will reach near their full height by 6 to 8 months of age, but they will continue to fill out and gain muscle mass until they are roughly 12 months old.
A general rule of thumb used by breeders is:
- 8 Weeks: A puppy is approximately 20-25% of their adult weight.
- 12 Weeks (3 Months): A puppy is approximately 35-40% of their adult weight.
- 16 Weeks (4 Months): A puppy is approximately 50-60% of their adult weight.
"Teacup" is not an official breed classification by the AKC. It is a marketing term used for Toy Poodles that are smaller than average, typically under 4 pounds fully grown. Our calculator identifies these smaller projections as "Teacup-sized."

Factors Affecting Growth
Genetics: The size of the parents is the best indicator of the puppy's future size. If both parents were small Toys (4-5 lbs), the puppy is likely to be similar.
Diet & Nutrition: High-quality puppy food specifically designed for small breeds ensures proper bone and muscle development without causing obesity.
Health: Parasites or early illnesses can temporarily stunt growth, though many puppies experience "catch-up" growth once healthy.
