Hi all,

I'm new at forums so sorry if i do anything wrong! i've just got a 3 quarter pug 1 quarter jack russell puppy and i'm trying to work out how big he will grow and how long it ususally takes them to be fully grown? i've had a few dogs in the past but never such a small breed as this or from a puppy as most have been rescue dogs, i'd be thankful for any advice anyone can give me!

Thanks

I would say because he's more pug he would probarlley be pug ized but can't be guaranteed, either way the parents would be a good clue how big a pup will be

Usually about 8-12 months the average end of growing in eight and then they start filling out for a little bit after

Somewhere between Pug size and Jack Russel size

Hi jack russels and pugs are a very similar size so he/she should grow to be about 10 - 15 inches and they are about 1-2 yers old when they are classed as fully grown also because e/she is 3/4 pug he/she will resemble the pug mohope this helps and only have a few characteristics of a jack russell.

Hi!

Yeh thats my problem, i had a jack russel years ago and cant remember how big he was and i've never seen a fully grown pug other than in photographs so i was having difficulty imagining the size, our pup is definitely pug in his looks you would never tell he is a cross, the jack russell tends to come out in his fiestyness, he's the funniest cutest thing

Thanks for all your answers

I actually have one, but he's a half-and half. I just call him a "terrier cross" though...or a terrierist!

He farts like a pug, snores and snorts...and is chunkier than a JRT...he likes snuggling up too...but when he's awake, he's all terrier. Anyone who actually buys one thinking it'll be like a "healthy pug" is a bit misled.

He is this big.







He's small like a JRT, but he's pretty heavy, his back comes up to my mid-calf I would say - and he's really muscular. He could run all day too.

Hope this helps,
Naomi

Does that mean you didn't see the mother or father of the puppy?

He's going to be enorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrmous. lol.

Don't know if that was for me or the other person...mine was a rescue pupster...he wasn't wanted as he was nipping, and running about and weeing on the floor (y'know, like puppies do) and he'd been bought as a gift for a teenager... so I didn't see the parents before taking him on. We found him, contacted the dog warden, the owners didn't want him back so after 7 days we got him...so I didn't see his parents, nor intend to get a specific type or breed of dog.

MissNaomi - your little chap is gorgeous!

Original poster - bit of a daft question? Jack Russels and pugs are very similar sizes and neither are exactly rare breeds... besides he'll be what he will be - he's hardly going to grow too big for the car so it's not worth worrying about is it? That's part of the joy of cross anyway - you never quite know exactly what you're going to get! Enjoy the mystery.

I take it he's a rescue pup if you haven't seen the parents?
