Puli Growth Stages

Understanding the typical growth stages helps you know what to expect as your Puli puppy grows.

Neonatal

0–2 weeks

Puppies are born with eyes and ears closed, relying entirely on their mother. Rapid weight gain occurs during this period.

Socialization

3–12 weeks

Eyes and ears open. Puppies begin to explore, play, and learn social behaviors. This is a critical period for development.

Juvenile

3–6 months

Rapid growth continues. Puppies become more independent, start teething, and develop coordination.

Adolescent

6–12 months

Growth rate begins to slow. Puppies reach sexual maturity and may test boundaries. Muscle mass develops.

Young Adult

12–15 months

Growth is nearly complete. Your puppy is filling out and approaching adult proportions.

Adult

15+ months

Your puppy has reached their full adult size. Weight should remain relatively stable with proper nutrition.

Puli FAQ

How much will my Puli puppy weigh as an adult?

Adult Pulis typically weigh between 22 and 33.1 lb overall. Males run 28.7-33.1 lb while females are 22-28.7 lb — a wider sex split than most medium breeds, so knowing your puppy's sex sharpens the estimate.

At what age is a Puli fully grown?

Most Pulis reach adult weight between 12 and 15 months. They fill out quickly in the first year; the corded coat adds bulk to the eye, so judge progress by the scale rather than by how bulky the cords look.

How accurate is a Puli puppy weight chart?

It is a good guide. Corded coats trap air and add visual volume without adding pounds — a Puli can look heavier than it is. Weigh before grooming for the most consistent readings.

How much should a Puli puppy weigh at 12 weeks?

Check the 12-week row in the weight-by-age table above for the estimated range. If your puppy falls well outside that band, re-check the scale, the lb/kg setting, and the age entry first — a single off reading is more common than a truly unusual puppy.

Do male and female Pulis grow differently?

Yes. Males typically reach 28.7-33.1 lb while females are 22-28.7 lb. The ranges barely overlap, so use the chart column matching your puppy's sex.
