How confident is this estimate? Based on veterinary consensus; designer breeds vary more than purebreds. As a designer/mixed breed, expect a wider band than for a purebred; two puppies from the same litter can finish at different sizes.
About this breed's data: A Shih Tzu and Yorkshire Terrier cross; figures are a breeder and veterinary aggregate, so individuals vary more than a purebred. Typically 7-16 lb and 7-10 in tall, though some references cite up to 11 in.
