Pounds. The dark band is where most Rottweiler Pomeranian Mix dogs end up; the light band is the full range between the smallest and largest parent.

Height runs 14–17 inches at the shoulder, against 22–27 in for the Rottweiler and 6–7 in for the Pomeranian. The parents differ a lot in size, so litters vary more than usual. Breeders normally use the larger breed as the mother to keep whelping safe.
