Estimated Growth Chart for ShihTzu:
Breeders can only estimate because various factors goes into what a dog's weight will become, such as how much the dog is fed, the quality of food, genetic disposition in parent and grand parentage, past puppy weight.
The older the puppy, the more accurate the guestimate.
8 months old - bone structure is full grown but will still gain muscle
6 months old - 80% full grown. Imperials can still grow 1-2# between 6 mos- 2 years.
Below chart is a good guess what a puppy will be when full grown. This is 'usually' within 1-2# of accurate - plus or minus. Males usually weigh more than females by .5#. The younger the puppy, the less accurate.
12 wk weight x 2-3
10 wk weight x 2.5-3.5
8 wk weight x 3-4
6 wk weight x 4-5
4 wk weight x 5-6
