My 8 week old Rocky weighs 14 lbs. I am constantly hearing things from people like:
"Look at the size of his feet, he is going to be so huge dude!!!"
"If you triple the weight at 8 weeks, thats his adult weight"
"If you double the weight at 4 months and add 10 lbs, thats the adult weight"
I know the best way to determine a puppy's adult size and weight is by looking at its parents. However, is there any other way of predicting adult size? Do the statements above have an ounce of truth to them, or are they complete baloney? What are your thoughts?
