We just weighed Bentley because I know he's going through another growth spurt. My brother weighed himself then held Bentley (no easy task) and stepped back on the scales.
I thought it could not be right so we moved the scales to 5 different spots in the house and always came up with the same number...
82 lbs. 6 months old :doh:
He doesn't look that big but I know he's solid like a tank. When he walks across the living room it's like a herd of elephants.
I guess he will be taking after his dad.
EDIT: I just took a pic with DH for size comparison:
When Molly came up to be 56 lbs on my scale I thought "no that can't be right, she can't be more than 50 lbs". I brought her to the vet to get her weight and I was so disappointed when she came out to actually be 56 lbs because that meant my weight was accurate too.
Wow Bentley is certainly a big boy.
The picture on the couch with dad, is not that flattering.
He looks a little fat in that one, but not overly so.
The second photos looks better though, solid not chuby.
My guess is you need to talk to the Vet.
I'm sure he not at any risk in this first year, but as he matures, he's likely to put on more weight, which we all know is not good for their longevity.
You got a big boy there !! I went back and checked Tugg's weight at 6 months, he weighed 46 1.2 pounds. Now at 13 months he is I think around 23 1/2 inches high and probably 65 pounds.
Well he's beautiful however big he is. He looks solid to me. I'm trying not to fret over Sage's weight, but according to the growth chart she's average. But she will be what she will be and as long as she isn't over weight for her size when she is grown I will be happy. She was 12.8 last Monday. My scale and the vets don't jive, but I'm going to go by the vets.....
Wow what a growth spurt! I thought Vinnie was big weighing 70 at 8 months. We haven't weighed him since then but I don't think he's gotten much bigger.
Having said that, Bentley looks very solid and healthy. He is 82 pounds of awesome handsomeness!
Holy Cow Joyce. He's a big boy. I'm surprised when I see that Tayla weighs 65 lbs. She is tall and leggy, but I really think she could drop a couple because although I can feel her ribs I have to use a little pressure. I just don't think she looks fat.
He's outgrown Rocket! At least, I'm pretty sure he has....maybe I should take Rocket in for a weight check, too.
I agree, though. He doesn't look fat, just very solid. Rocket is big and solid around the neck and front, too. But not so much the "bum muscles." Guess we need to work on those. LOL!!!
He is a beautiful boy Joyce. He's just solid and muscular is all. And WHAT A FACE!
