Many people go by the size of the paws...however this is not entirely true. English bulldogs have HUGE paws...but the bulldog it's self is not a large dog. I will admit that when i am picking a puppy for it's size I tend to look at paws...but it is the back paws you need to look at and the size of the head...if It is only the front paws that appear large and the back ones are just so so...probably not a big dog in the making...
BUT the size of the paws don't really tell the size of the grown dog...

Your wolf hybrid is only 45 pounds at 7 months? What the hell is she mixed with?? Anyway, it is true that the bigger the paws the bigger the dog. She should get bigger unless she is mixed with something that is either a medium or small breed dog. At this rate, looks like she's mixed with a medium sized dog, she should already be almost 80 pounds give or take. Good luck!

I had a German Shepard and at 6 months his paws were the size of my hands. By 9 months his head was up to almost my chest and had long legs. So it could be true. By the way, we named him Paws.

Well unlike most here I looked at her legs. They are stocky, solid built. Her paws are very proportionate to her build. I think she is just great looking!
Paw size is not a good indicator as to how big a dog will be at adulthood. I've seen this and I've seen big footed Godlen's who are right at breed standard size when fully grown.

Wolves have large paws, especially northern species, as they spend a lot of time in marshes and in snow.
Its best to assume she will be an average size, but allow for that to go either way.
Her paws do not look large at all to me. They look normal.

It is true, and it is true for people too. The feet grow before the rest of the body. But it can't tell you how big, just that they aren't done growing yet. She's adorable though!

Your puppies feet are perfect for her size. She is as they say grown into her feet. She does not look that she will grow much larger she may fill out more though.
She pretty
