I have read many different things. My guy is 5 months old now, I am curious as to when approx. he will be fully grown.
 
He's grown up when he's done growing. Some lines grow slower than others, some top out early, some can grow until they are a year old and some until they are 18 months or more. There is no set age when a chin reaches adulthood.
 
Ah ok, good to know. I did a ton of research about chins in general before we got him, but I have honestly not a clue about his background. We got him from a breeder in PA and at the time I didn't know what questions exactly to ask, which I am a bit regretful about. I wish I had been more active on this forum prior to picking a chin and had the opportunity to get one from one the experienced people here. Not that I want to trade my boy for the world, he is the best :)

As as long as he is healthy and happy he can grow the size of a small house, hehe. I was just curious.
 
I have a female who is a year old and she is still putting on a little weight. I would say that by 8 months she was fully grown, and now she is just getting fatter.

Do you know how many grams your chin weighs now?
 
I actually just ordered a little scale on amazon yesterday, so I have to wait a couple of days to check on that. When we got him he was a little over 200 grams at 2 months old.
 
Mick St. John, my violet, continued to grow and gain weight after he was a year old. I also believe my white girls still continue to grow and one is just over a year old and they other is going on 2 years old!
