Puppy Sizing Guide
At Westie Puppy Nest, we want you to feel confident and informed as you prepare to welcome your new West Highland White Terrier (Westie) puppy into your home. Understanding your puppy’s expected size and growth pattern can help you plan for everything from nutrition and grooming to accessories like crates, collars, and clothing.
Average Westie Puppy Size
Westie puppies are known for their compact, sturdy build. Though small in stature, they’re full of personality and energy. Here's a general guide to their size as they grow:
Westie puppies are compact and sturdy, with a consistent and predictable growth pattern. At around 8 weeks of age, most puppies weigh between 3 to 5 lbs and stand approximately 5 to 6 inches tall at the shoulder. By 12 weeks, their weight typically increases to 5 to 7 lbs, and they reach a height of 6 to 7 inches. At the 16-week mark, you can expect them to weigh around 7 to 9 lbs, measuring 7 to 8 inches tall. Around 6 months of age, Westies usually reach 9 to 12 lbs and grow to about 9 to 10 inches tall. By 12 months and older, most West Highland White Terriers will have reached their full adult size, weighing between 15 to 22 lbs and standing 10 to 11 inches tall at the shoulder.
When Will My Westie Be Full Grown?
Most West Highland White Terriers reach their full height by 10 to 12 months, though they may continue to fill out and gain healthy weight until about 14 to 16 months of age. As a breed, they maintain a well-proportioned and balanced look into adulthood.
Helpful Tips for Managing Growth
-
Balanced Nutrition: Feed your puppy high-quality, breed-appropriate food to support healthy bone and muscle development.
-
Regular Vet Checkups: Monitor weight gain and growth during routine veterinary visits to ensure your pup is developing normally.
-
Proper Exercise: Westies love to play, but avoid overexerting your puppy during critical growth periods to protect their joints.
