Jager is at 32 lbs for 4 months....is that on track? It seems high compared to some other responses. He is gaining about 2-2.5 lbs a week. How long should that continue? Our friends have a 100 lb boxer and I am a little worried. I am hoping Jager does not get that big!

Hi Jager -
It does sound a bit high, but it really depends on your dog. Do you know how big both parents were? That would probably be the best indication of your dog's size, as puppies grow at different rates.
At any rate, a 100 lb Boxer is very very far outside the standard, and thus not normal
The average weight for a full grown (2 - 3 year old) male is approximately between 65 - 75 pounds.

At six months Miss Murphy weighed in at 38 lbs, which seems to be normal but the Vet was concerned about how skinny she looked, which she does. I am feeding her Puppy Wellness at about 4 to 5 cups a day. So i am at a total lost because her weight is good but yet still to skinny. We (Vet & I) are currently monitoring her weight over the next couple of months.
Jaqueline: From the pics in your gallery, Miss Murphy looks like a typically lean boxer puppy to me, and it's really not something I'd be concerned with. That's very normal for a boxer puppy, and feeding more will simply make her grow taller faster. Chances are, she'll be lean until around 18 months and then she'll slowly start to fill out. As long as you're feeding a good quality food (which you are), I really wouldn't worry. LOL - I've seen a LOT of boxer puppies that are very much thinner than your girl.

Colby is 16 weeks and just weighed in at 32.5 lbs last week. I know his dad was huge, so he's on track to be big like his daddy. He seems to be getting bigger every week, and I do sometimes worry that he's growing too fast. I have him on Chicken Soup Puppy Formula. The vet said not to worry, he's growing just fine. I'm just comparing him to Cadence, who when she passed @ 18 months was only 45 lbs. She was always tiny, though. So hopefully Colby will be okay and I'll just need to buy a saddle to ride him around!

Spike weighs 20lb at 4 months of age. That seems awfully light compared to what I have seen other people posting. Should I be worried? The vet seems to think it's nothing to worry about. And he is steadily putting on weight (as you can see below). His mother was a big dog and his father was HUGE! So it just seems a little odd.
