My puppy right now is either 5 or 41/2 months. His mom was some type of terrier but im not sure what she was they said it was a white one with curly hair. His dad was a German Shephard. He looks nothing like his mom from what i can imagine. Either the dad or mom was part husky because his tail looks like a husky tail and he has husky traits. Is his height/weight impossible to predict?
some pics:

I think he'll be approx 85 - 90 lbs as an adult.

Terriers are small so I'm not sure how in the world the mom was a terrier and the dad was a German Shepard. The puppies would have been to big for her to properly deliver or even carry in the womb for that matter.
I think the mom was a bigger breed just based off that information and the size of the dog. My guess is the mom was a Husky (because of the light coloring in his fur) and the dad a German Shepard.
The vet can do genetic testing and it will tell you exactly what breeds the dog is.
My guess is he'll be about 70-80 pounds full grown.

Your baby is so handsome. He is a Shepherd mix so he will more than likely weigh about 50 to 60 lbs when he is about 1 yr old. He has more Shepherd traits. Make sure he gets a lot of exercise so he will remain happy. Shepherds like jobs so if he goes for a run or a long walk he will be happy. Get him a dog pack to wear & put a water bottle on each side so you & him will have a drink while you are walking. This will make him feel like he is working & doing a good job while carrying your bottles. That would be his job.
He has beautiful markings!

First let me say, that is a cute puppy. Being that he has terrier and shepherd, he can be big or little. It is clear that he isnt going to be little. However it is also obvious that a yorkie didnt breed with a shepherd, so he will probably be a medium sized dog. I cant tell from the pictures how big his feet are. That is usually a good way to determine a dogs size. They dont look very big. If i had to guess i would say in between 45-55lbs.

He doesent look part husky to me he definatly took after the german shephard dad he looks just like one thats the way a german shephards tail looks. he should be around 50-70 pounds full grown depends how much you feed him.

aww, what a cute pup !!
well, first off he doesnt look anything like a terrier or even look like he has terrier in him. he looks husky and sheperd.
you can judge how big they are going to be by looking at the paws, and taking into consideration what his parents are.
He is going to be a fairly large dog probably any wheres from 60 -80 pounds

Well I cant say for sure but I can say that he is VERY much German Shepard....to be safe I would expect him to be the size of a grown shepard. then if he doesnt quite get that big no big deal but at least your prepared...honestly he loks to me to have some sort of Spitz in him....like a Finnish Spitz or possibly Saymoyd(sp)??? Best of luck & congrats on a beautiful dog!!

Looks like he's going to be a medium to large sized dog. Most ppl say you can judge how big a dog will get by the size of its paws when its a puppy. I dont know how true that is though. Soooo cute!

I don't see so much Husky in him, but guess it could be. As to his weight, if he is around 5 mos. old, I would expect him to be about 2/5 of his adult weight So if he weighs 30 lbs now, my guess is that he would be about 75 lbs. as an adult, if he is carrying a proper weight, not too fat or too lean. If he's 40lbs. now, then closer to 100.

Your last picture of your dog is very nice, the one facing us, he is pretty, he is part Husky and German Shepherd, he does not look like he has any terrier in him at all....he will probably hit around maybe 50-55lbs...he is a pretty color, he has alot of grayish white in him, bet he goes nearly all gray like a Husky..
