Well, it would be very useful to be able to predict the adult size of a puppy and maybe it works some time with some breeds. The Akk is a fairly new breed and as such is not as genetically "fixed" in its traits as older breeds. I tried the calculator using known weights of my grand daughter's pomchi. The dog just turned a year old on June 2nd so I know the adult weight. The puppy calculator estimated the adult weight at 3 lbs. The dog had also been Embark tested and Embark gave an estimated genetic weight prediction of 12 lbs . The dogs actual weight is 8lbs. If the breed club has anybody with a compulsive detail oriented mind and breeders were willing to send them this sort of info maybe an accurate weight formula could be figured out for the breed. Might be a fun project for a breeder or the breed club to do.
Alaskan Klee Kai look like little baby Siberian Huskies! 😍
