    Since pups gain 2-3 # per week, that "extra" week means something when doing the math here, right? There you have that extra 4-5# that some say always seems lacking.
    If you calculate pups age by counting days instead of months, which I did at first, you'll come up with a different birthday (1 year, 2 year) every time.

    The doubling at 4 months didn't work for me. Oliver was around 27 - 30 pounds or so and now he is over 70 pounds at 8 months old. I just go by what the parents weighed and shoot for something similar to that.

    It definitely doesn't work well if the puppy was too thin or too fat. I tend to try to keep a thin layer of fat over the ribs while growing, and since I've done that, it's been fairly accurate.
