Select your dog's breed below to view an individualized adult weight predictor, week-by-week AKC growth milestone ranges, and growth plate closure stages.
A cross between a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Poodle (Miniature or Toy). Cavapoo growth follows a rapid sigmoid curve, reaching roughly 50% of adult weight between 14 and 16 weeks.
Standard Goldendoodles (Golden Retriever crossed with Standard Poodle) follow an extended biphasic growth curve, with skeletal height stabilizing before muscular filling.
French Bulldogs possess a compact, heavily muscled cobby body. Because of their dense bone density, their scale weight is often higher than visual height implies.
A premier sporting breed with steady, sustained pediatric growth. Males naturally exhibit heavier bone structure and broader skulls than females.
German Shepherd Dogs have substantial bone density and an extended developmental timeline. Early growth must remain lean to protect long bone joint health.
A cross between a Labrador Retriever and a Poodle. Standard Labradoodles are robust and athletic with high metabolic energy during early puppyhood.
A toy hybrid bred from a Maltese and Toy/Miniature Poodle. Maltipoos complete their entire skeletal growth rapidly, often finishing by 9 to 10 months.
A sturdy hound breed with high bone density and muscular drive. Beagles have a voracious appetite that must be regulated to prevent early obesity.
Chondrodystrophic hound breed characterized by elongated spinal columns and shortened limbs. Weight management is imperative for intervertebral disc health.
Athletic, high-energy working breed with deep chest depth and lean muscle. Boxers develop slowly through a prolonged adolescent phase.
One of the smallest toy breeds, Yorkies undergo an extremely rapid juvenile growth phase, finishing growth before their first birthday.
A massive working breed with heavy bone substructure and a protracted biphasic developmental window extending up to 2 years.
An agile, medium-sized herding dog with balanced proportions. Australian Shepherds exhibit a classic medium-breed growth curve, finishing near 12–13 months.
A solid, compact toy breed with surprisingly dense bone structure beneath a luxurious double coat. Reaches full mature skeletal frame by 10 months.
A cross between a Bernese Mountain Dog and a Poodle. Standard Bernedoodles inherit heavy bone density from their working mountain dog lineage, requiring 16–18 months to fully mature.
