Puppy Growth Charts?

annie_so_pink · 07-11-2005, 11:56 AM

Does anybody know of any lab puppy growth charts or pit puppy growth charts? I'm trying to figure out about how big my puppy is going to get when he is older. Or do any of you have a guess?
He is a 5 month old black lab/pit mix, he weighs about 36 lbs.,when he was 3 months he weighed about 17 lbs. and when he was 4 months old he weighed about 26 lbs. I attched a pic of him that was taken one week ago.
Thanks!

I don't have any growth charts, but just looking up the breed it says that: The average male lab grows to be between 22.5-24.5 inches in height and weighs between 65-80 pounds. The average male American Pitt bull (I'm guessing is what mix your dog is) grows to be between 18-22 inches in heigh and 40-80 pounds. This might be a good guide.
Also, if you happened to see his parents (I guess kinda hard since he's a mix, haha) but looking at his parents you might get a good estimate as to how big he'll get.

Thank You so much.
I don't know really anything about his parents, other than that his mother was a black lab. No one really knows what the father was. Wesley(my puppy)
was rescued from a forest fire in central wisconsin. His mother dog was killed in the fire. The family who had owned the mother had lost their home and couldn't keep Wesley. So we took him and fell in love with him. We have guessed that his dad was a pit, but we're not sure. At first we thought maybe he was lab/boxer, but after talking with more people we think pit bull.

I remember finding a growth chart online doing a routine search. I specifically looked for Saint Bernard, and was given height and weight over months of development. I haven't checked this in a loooong time, so I forget what I googled. But I'm sure you can find what you're looking for with a quick google search.

My neighbor has the exact mix. He is a little above knee high.

Hope that helps!

DJPUP, Thank you that really helps too.

Hello! I have a Lab/Pit Bull. He's about 4 yrs old now. He is about 20 in tall or so...27 in long & at healthy weight, he is 75lbs. I hope this helps. Actually, contrary to what a previous post said, an American Pit Bull Terrier male is only supposed to be 60lbs ful grown.
