The question I get asked most is "how much does the puppy weigh?" or "how big do you think the puppy will be?" In order to determine this we take into consideration the genetics of the puppy and we use this weight chart to help us accurately determine what this puppy will weigh at adulthood .... Here you can see the chart we use, but, you must realize that this is a guideline not a guarantee. Many factors influence a puppies growth... including genetics, feed, exercise, sickness, litter size, to name just a few, but, hopefully, this chart gives a fairly accurate indication of what your babies finished weight will be.
As I told a friend of mine, my philosophy is "if a pound more or a pound less will make you not love this puppy, then perhaps an adult would be a better choice. "
