The exact size a gold-plated dog can grow to is affected by a variety of factors, including breed, genetics, diet and exercise. Therefore, specific size ranges may vary.

Generally speaking, the height and weight of a gold-clad dog will vary depending on its breed. Some iron-clad golden dogs can reach a height of about 35 to 45 centimeters and a weight of 5 to 10 kilograms, and are considered medium-sized. Other breeds of gold-coated dogs, such as Tibetan Mastiffs, can reach about 80 centimeters in height and weigh about 150 kilograms.
