What Size Will My Puppy Grow to Be?
We do our best to estimate the size of each puppy. We look at many factors: the size of the parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents if possible. We look at puppies from previous litters as well as what litter-mates may have produced.
We use a couple different methods to help determine APPROXIMATE ADULT WEIGHT:
Method 1
8 week old puppy: weight X 3 = approximate adult weight
10 week old puppy: weight X 2 + 1 = approximate adult weight
12 week old puppy: weight X 2 = approximate adult weight
Method 2
8 week old GIRL weight x 3.8 and 4.2 = approximate adult weight
8 week old BOY weight x 4.2 and 4.8 = approximate adult weight
We are very honest about the weight of our puppies. We know some people are looking for a specific weight or size and they deserve to have what they are looking for. If we feel a puppy will be bigger or smaller, we will let you know so you can decide if that is still the puppy for you. At that time, if you decide that puppy is not for you; we will be happy to move your deposit to another puppy.
All of these factors (Conformation, Gender, Color, and Estimated Size) are taken into consideration when we price our puppies....Conformation is our priority and is the major determining factor behind our pricing!
