I just got a female Jackachi and i was wondering how big she will get when fully grown?
Her dad was a Chihuahua and her mum was a jack russell - she is the runt of the litter. And out of her litter, she was the one that looks most like a Chihuahua.
She is only 9 weeks
CONGRATULATIONS!
I have a Jack-Chi too… female, runt of the litter, and has the body of a Chihuahua as well!
She only reached 6lbs and has stopped growing. However, from what ive heard this is abnormal. Usually Jack-Chis weigh about 10-12 lbs.
Heres a pic of my Hunnie

There is no way to tell because it is a mixed breed and mixed breeds have no standards.
I would say no larger then a jack russel.

It's hard to say, because it's a mixed breed. You can't predict how a mixed breed will turn out. She could turn out to be the size of a Chihuahua, the size of a Jack Russell, or between the two. You'll just have to let her grow to find out.

Exactly what everyone else said. Since you have a mixed breed dog, you can't be sure. I'd say it's a safe bet that it wouldn't get any bigger than a JRT, though.

That's the fun of having a mixed breed dog. It can be as small as a chihuahua, or as large as a jack russell, or anything in between. Either way you will own a small, cute dog, that I'm sure will be a great pet for you. Good luck.

I have never heard of a Jackachi. It sounds like a made up name. In other words you have a mixed breed. There is NOTHING wrong with giving a mixed breed a loving home, as a matter of fact it is commendable. Please tell me you adopted this pup from the a shelter and you didn't pay a back-yard-breeder a purebred price for irresponsible breeding. Your vet may be able to guess how big she will get, but it will just be a guess. Because it is not a breed, there is not a standard size to expect. It depends on which genes from each breed were passed on.
