about how big will my dog get?
We adopted a Chihuahua/Terrier mix a month and a half ago. (She's 5 months now.) She weighs about 9.5 lbs. She has a double coat, the top coat kind of wiry.. The bottom coat smooth. She still has floppy ears, but they stand up occasionally.
She has pretty big paws, and semi long legs.
Standing up she's about to where my calf is (I'm 5' 7")
I'm thinking she's a Westie Terrier Chihuahua mix, but my mom says she's a Glenn of Imall..
But I don't know.. So what do you think?

It's impossible to know which characteristics of which breed a mix will pick up, but since Chihuahuahs are generally 6 or 7 lbs at most, so she's already out-grown that.
Female Westie and Glenn of Imalls are usually around 15 lbs, so if her other parent was a either of those you are probably looking at about that size.

With that bloodline she's certainly not going to become a long-legged monster pulling you along by the leash! I reckon the top of her head is unlikely to be your any higher than your knee. The West Highland Terriers are not big dogs, the Chihauhau is tiny. You know the 'stock' it's come from. A pup of unknown and very mixed origin could totally confound your expectations (unless you have very good eye and spot 'big dog' characteristics early)and grow and grow.
