Size groups by grown weight
Size groups go by a dog's weight when grown. Other charts set the lines a pound or two apart; these are the ones Pupsize uses for every estimate.
| Size group | Grown weight | Examples | Done growing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Toy | Under 12 lb | Chihuahua, Yorkshire terrier, Pomeranian | 9 to 12 months |
| Small | 12 to 25 lb | French bulldog, Cavalier King Charles spaniel, Boston terrier | 10 to 12 months |
| Medium | 25 to 50 lb | Border collie, Bulldog, Australian cattle dog | 12 to 15 months |
| Large | 50 to 90 lb | Labrador retriever, Golden retriever, German shepherd | 12 to 18 months |
| Giant | Over 90 lb | Great Dane, Mastiff, Saint Bernard | 18 to 24 months |
For example, a puppy of 20 lb at 12 weeks, breed unknown, most likely grows into a large dog of about 50 to 84 lb.
