1. What is the Bernedoodle Puppy Size Calculator?

The Bernedoodle Puppy Size Calculator estimates the adult weight of a Bernedoodle puppy based on its current weight and age. This helps owners prepare for their dog's future size and needs.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( Current\ Weight \) — Puppy's current weight in lbs or kg
• \( Current\ Age\ in\ Weeks \) — Puppy's current age in weeks (1-52)
• \( 52 \) — Represents one year in weeks

Explanation: This formula projects the puppy's growth rate to estimate their adult weight at 52 weeks (1 year).

3. Importance of Size Estimation

Details: Knowing your Bernedoodle's estimated adult size helps with proper planning for space requirements, exercise needs, feeding amounts, and appropriate equipment sizing.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter current weight in either pounds or kilograms, and the puppy's current age in weeks (between 1-52). For most accurate results, use the most recent weight measurement.
