A NYC estimate for a dog this size and coat. Excludes the adoption fee and anything unexpected.
About 27 lbs now and still growing — this breed usually reaches 35–45 lbs.
Our “D” puppies arrived with their mama Della, and ohmygoodness are they cute and chunky! These puppies are roly poly little things and are probably going to grow up to be on the larger size. Puppies are a LOT of work, but they make up for that by being incredibly cute and snuggly. You’ll teach them all they need to know, from potty training and socialization to sit and stay! Adopt Debbie!
🧠 Temperament
Mixed-breed dogs pull traits from several lines, which often means fewer breed-linked health problems and a temperament best judged by meeting the dog. What the foster or shelter observed day to day is far more predictive than any breed guess.
🎾 Exercise
Depends on the individual. A daily walk plus play is the baseline; ask the foster how the dog behaves after a quiet day.
✂️ Grooming
Varies with coat type. Short coats need little; longer or double coats need regular brushing.
🏙️ In a NYC apartment
You’ll teach them all they need to know, from potty training and socialization to sit and stay!. Mixes are often excellent city dogs.
