when do dogs reach full size?

ilovepitbulls · 04-30-2005, 08:49 AM

my pit bull isalmost 6 monthes old now and he is only 28 inches long from the base of his tail to the tip of his nose and 17 inches high. I was wondering when he would get to be his full size and how big he will get I have heard that pites get to be any where from 35 lbs to 100lbs.
any advice would help.

a true pit bull should not be more than 65 pounds.

i think they generally reach their full height by a year and continue to fill out for another 6-12 months or so.

my pit bulls are only 17" at the shoulder full-grown.

Toki stopped growing at 10 months. But I head that they could still grow up to 12 months old just depending on the eating

Yup....way too many people are breeding pit bulls too large (100+ lbs.). Many pit bulls are around 30-40 lbs..

Chico stopped growing at 12 months. He's smaller than I thought he would be, but that only makes him cuter.
