1. What is the Doodle Weight Calculator?

The Doodle Weight Calculator estimates the adult weight of Doodle breed puppies based on their current weight and age. This tool helps owners predict their dog's future size for proper planning and care.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the weight prediction formula:

Where:

• \( Current\ Weight \) — Puppy's current weight in pounds or kilograms
• \( Current\ Age\ in\ Weeks \) — Puppy's age in weeks (1-52)
• \( 52 \) — Number of weeks in a year

Explanation: This formula projects the puppy's growth rate over a full year to estimate their adult weight.
