Pomeranian Weight Chart (Quick Facts)

Pomeranians are small “toy-sized” dogs but, they can vary greatly in size.

In this article, I provide a weight and growth chart to help you figure out how much your puppy should weigh at a specific point in time as well as a tracking guide to guestimate how big your Pomeranian puppy will get.

How Do You Determine The Weight Of A Pomeranian

When you take home your little fluffy Pomeranian puppy it can sometimes be hard to know how big your dog will get.

Pomeranians can vary so much in size from tiny teacups to big throwbacks, reminiscent of Pomeranians from the past.

Your Pomeranian’s full-grown size and weight will depend on a variety of things including your dog’s genetics, gender, and lifestyle.

You should get a good idea of how big your Pomeranian will end up if you look at your dog’s parents and compare their adult sizes.

How Much Should A Fully Grown Pomeranian Weigh

According to the standard, a full-grown Pomeranian should weigh between three and seven pounds.

There are many exceptions to this rule.

The standard is designed specifically for breeding with the intent to enter the dog into a dog show.

Show dogs are “more desirable” when they are within three to seven pounds.

Many Pomeranians that are bred as pets may be bigger due to different genetics.

I currently have three Pomeranians that weigh between five pounds and eleven pounds.

The smallest is actually the only one that could be considered a bit overweight.
