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