Dog growth percentile charts

What do others think of growth percentile charts for dogs. I found this one http://www.puppychart.com. I select the dog breed, date of birth, weight on a certain day, and it estimates the average weight the dog will be when fully grown.

    Human percentile charts are used in medicine for predicting rate of growth in children and babies. There would probably be a lot more research and accuracy in human percentile charts than dog charts.

    My 8.5 month female bully is 28kg (61 pound) now, and this percentile calculator suggests she will grow to 30kg (66 pound).

    It seems to be better than others

    It put my 35 pound 18 week male at 61 pounds and his sister who is 32 and change at 54 pounds

    So I think it is fairly close and a tad conservative

    Yeah, that's what I think, but I've noticed mine slowing down. Had said that, she got a bit chubby (despite our daily forest runs), so I've given her lower calorie foods lately. I guess in 9 months I'll find out how accurate it is ☺️
