Default How to determine the adult weight of a dog while still a pup?

Janet said..
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 have used for years that seems fairly accurate.

Janet,
Thanks for the information. I will check out the growth chart you
mentioned. I used to track my Dobe pups weight but that was decades ago
and I can't recall what they weighed at 4 months. This pup weighed in
at 24 pounds and I am reasonably sure she is about 4 months. I think
45-50 pounds seems likely for her adult weight. It will be interesting
to find out.
