Predicting a puppy's adult size and weight is not an exact science. This chart, developed over many years of experience by long-time poodle breeders and experts, is a helpful guideline at predicting future weight. (Example: If your 6 week old puppy weighs 20 oz., it's projected adult weight would be 4.5 lbs.)
