Sharlee:
Another suggestion that just came to me, no specific reference: If we assume Mouse had a normal development pattern for a dog (and his vet didn't seem to spot anything odd), he would've been born about 8-9 weeks before Blood Rites. Old enough to be paper trained and to handle Thomas's large breed puppy chow, but still be small enough that Harry doesn't initially realize he's that adopting a woolly rhinoceros. ;D

I doubt he is normal on any side of that. By angelic confirmation we know they dont age normally, and even an exceptionally young puppy of a 200+ lb breed would never have been small enough to fit in harry's duster pocket.

Aging and Growing, are two separate things. I think the growth pattern matches exactly to a normal dog (gets to full size in same amount of time). For a dog that big, just like my Newfoundland I own, it take about 3 years to finish their growth cycle. I think that matches up pretty well with how mouse was portrayed in growth in the books. So yeah, I think Mouse was definitely no older than 10 weeks old when Harry found him.
Priscellie:
This is a Tibetan Mastiff at 10 weeks. :D

Harry's coat pockets must be bigger on the inside.
