* Genetics are complex: The size of a mixed breed dog depends on the specific genetics of both parent breeds, and how those genes are expressed in the offspring.
* Individual variation: Even within a purebred breed, there can be significant size variation between individuals.
However, we can give you some general ideas based on the parent breeds:
* Bearded Collie: They typically stand 22-27 inches tall and weigh 45-65 pounds.
* Great Dane: This is one of the tallest breeds, standing 28-34 inches tall and weighing 110-175 pounds.
Possible Size Range:
It's likely that a Bearded Collie cross Great Dane would be somewhere between these two sizes, but it could potentially be larger or smaller depending on which parent's genetics are dominant.
To get a better idea of your dog's potential size:
* Talk to the breeder: If you're getting your puppy from a breeder, they may be able to give you a more informed estimate based on the size of the parents and their lineage.
* Observe the puppy's growth: As your puppy grows, you'll get a better sense of their eventual size.
Remember, it's important to feed your dog a balanced diet and provide adequate exercise to ensure healthy growth.
