Where the numbers come from: 121 of these breeds show the weight published in the American Kennel Club’s official breed standard, in pounds as published; the other 60 come from Wikidata under the open CC0 license, converted from kilograms. Each breed page names the source it used, and shows the second one where the two disagree. A weekly check re-reads both and fails if any figure has drifted — we don’t hand-edit these values.

This doubles as a dog weight calculator and a dog size calculator: the adult weight range and its class — small, medium, large or giant — tell you roughly how big a puppy will get once it is full-grown. The chart further down works as a puppy growth calculator and a puppy size calculator, week by week. For a mixed-breed puppy, expect an adult size between its parents’ breeds.

Puppy growth chart: what a German Shepherd weighs week by week

This is the growth curve FEDIAF publishes for a dog whose expected adult weight matches the breed selected above — an average, valid from 8 weeks to one year. FEDIAF notes itself that growth patterns show a certain individual variability, so read a row as the middle of a spread, not a target to hit. Weigh your puppy regularly and watch the direction of travel rather than any single week.

One oddity worth naming rather than hiding: for the smallest breeds the published equation crosses 100% before the end of the year. That is the equation saying a small dog has finished growing well before its first birthday — we show what it publishes rather than trimming the last rows to look tidier. Large breeds do the opposite and are still filling out at one year.

Why this chart is an average and not a centile chart

Because a second body of work publishes centiles, and it publishes them as pictures. Salt et al. (2017) built growth centile charts from the records of more than 6 million young dogs, covering 12 weeks to 2 years of age. Their most useful finding is that growth follows a dog’s size category rather than its breed: 5 categories were enough, and for 20 of the 24 breeds they checked individually, the breed curve and its category curve agreed well. FEDIAF’s table is banded the same way — by adult weight, in 5 bands — which is two independent documents landing on the same idea.

We don’t reprint the Salt centiles, and that is deliberate: that study publishes its curves as charts to plot a puppy on, not as a table of weights, so restating them would mean reading numbers off a printed curve. Two further limits its authors state plainly — their standards stop at an adult weight of 40 kg and begin at 12 weeks. Both papers are listed under Sources below.
