age and size

maybe a newb question, but curious if you can have and indication how big a pup will get by its weight at 4 months?

my 14wk pup is 13lbs, curious if anyone remebers thier pups weight at that age and how big they were once mature.

thanks

 

At about 9 weeks mine was 15lbs and he is gettin weighed tomorrow at 4 months so I'll let you know

Seems like your pup might run on the smaller size when he is done growing

Can I estimate how big my puppy will get?
</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="artext">Puppies at different ages grow at different rates, and puppies of different breeds grow at different rates. To estimate the size of dog your puppy will grow up to be, use the chart on the right. Find your dog's age, and then draw a line straight up until you find your dog's weight. Then follow the nearest curve or make an imaginary one and follow it over to 30 months of age. Read the corresponding weight for that age. This will approximate the weight your dog will be at adulthood. Remember, this is only an estimate.
Generally, an adult dog will weigh about twice as much as he did when he was 4 months of age; giant breeds will double what they weighed at 5 months.

Don't quote me but I think I remember reading that at 16 weeks, double their weight and that will be their full grown size (or close to it).

I weighed my guy at 16 weeks and he was 26lbs. He is now 16 Months old and weighs 50lbs. So I think it's a good indicator but not the end all be all.

13lbs at 14 weeks. Wow, that should be about a 30 some lber I'm guessing.

 

i weighed her again, shes 14 and a half weeks and almost 16lbs now. im hoping she stays under 40 at adult hood and from the sounds of it i may get lucky. thanks for the input guys

 

Yes looks like your pup will be at the desired weight you want so I wouldn't worry about that

 

4 months and double it sounds about right but I'm going to test it out.

 

double at 16wks is usually a good guesstimate for these dogs

 

What's wrong in that if my pup has weight slightly greater than a normal pups have..?is there any relation to feed plan or it's a disease.:dogkiss:

My girl just stopped growin at 5months, shes now nearly 9 and like 20ish something lbs hahaha

 

LOL one of my boys was weird, he was 32# at 5 months old and we're like wth!?!?!? Then at 16 months old he was still the same. However, when he reached 24 months of age, the boy was 44# and around 2-3 inches taller at the withers. He went through a sudden growth spurt. Nothing is standard and it all has to do with genetics. The dog's endocrine system, specifically the pituitary gland that secretes growth hormones dictates your dogs size. However, with condition, you can increase musculature and cut fat.

 

sounds about right my girl weighed about 29 pounds at 16 weeks though and now at 2 years old weights 50 pounds.

 

My female puppy weighted 21 Lbs. at 17 weeks.

 

My pup iw 14 and a half weeks and 24.8 pounds, do you think he'll be large?

 

They are usually pretty close to half of their adult weight at 4.5 mos old.
