I am trying to estimate the weight that a 4 month old puppy may become
when she is an adult. I have Googled the subject and found 2 locations
addressing the my question. One of them indicated a puppy usually grows
up to be double his/her weight at 3months. The other site indicated it
was 4 months. Neither of those seem accurate to me.
Does anyone know of a method of estimating the adult weight of a dog
especially when you are dealing with an unknown breed. I am guessing
Pit bull is the likely breed in this case.
Thanks for any info on the subject.

For most medium-large breeds, the rule of thumb is double 4 month
weight. I tend to like them leaner than that. Google Pitcairn growth -
a chart I've used for years that seems to be pretty accurate.
