Hello, I have a strange mix puppy that i love to death.. .but cannot
guesstimate on the size he will be.. could someone help? Bud is a
Collie, Terrier, Chiqwawa mix.. he's 4 months old and weighs 8 pounds.
Being Collies can be bigger dogs and Chiqwawa's can be smaller dogs I
have no idea how big he might be. What do you guys think? When do
dogs stop growing?

A generasl rule of thumb is a dog will be ~2x their weight at 4
months, when they become an adult. Toy breeds mature much faster than
larger breeds though. An 8# puppy in unlikely to be over 20# at full
growth, and probably closer to 15#.
