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.

Small12 to 25 lbFrench bulldog, Cavalier King Charles spaniel, Boston terrier10 to 12 months

Large50 to 90 lbLabrador retriever, Golden retriever, German shepherd12 to 18 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.
