How big do Maltese puppies get can you compare to a real life object?

Maltese puppies are tiny! They are typically about the size of a tea cup or a small loaf of bread when they are born. They grow to be about the size of a small shoebox or a small kitten when fully grown.

Here's a more specific breakdown:

* At birth: 4-6 ounces, about the size of a tea cup or a small loaf of bread

* At 8 weeks: Around 2 pounds, about the size of a small kitten or a loaf of bread

* Fully grown: Between 4-7 pounds, about the size of a small shoebox or a small kitten

It's important to remember that these are just general estimates. Individual Maltese can vary in size, depending on their genetics and diet.
