How big were your dogs at 6 months?

Just a question...Chloe just turned 6 months and is 52lbs. Just wondering how much more weight she will gain before she finishes growing. The vet said that she is the perfect weight for her build. She was gaining about 2 lbs a week there for a while, but she doesn't seem to be as hungry (for her dog food anyways) as she used to be. Does this mean that her growth is slowing down? How big were your dogs at 6 months, and what weight did they end up at?

Thanks
Lori

Amber was very small when we got her and she was on a very poor quality food. We changed her food but even at 6 months she was only 43lb but she looked great and we simply ignored the comments about her being underweight.

However at 2 ½ years the vet put her on a diet… She is now a healthy 72lb GR (not an ounce of fat on her :D).

I do not know if her growth has slowed down but I am 100% sure that Amber has never lost her appetite (she is not allowed people's food). I would investigate that if I were you even though Chloe doesn’t sound underweight but then all GR’s are different.

Good luck!

Molson weighed 45.5 pounds last week at the vet. Until this week, I thought he looked skinny to me but I'm feeding him 1.5 cups twice a day of Pro Plan/Fromm's and if I give him any more, then the end of his poops go soft/runny. This week I think he looks so much more muscular and I can feel how dense his muscles are getting.

He does have HUGE paws though, so I'm thinking that he still has a LOT of growing to do!

For awhile, Simon was gaining ten pounds each month- 4 months- 40-something pounds- 5 months- 50-something pounds, 6 months-60-something pounds....

We were getting REALLY scared, because he isn't fat, he's just big (tall), and I was WORRIED that by the time he was a year old, he'd weight 100+ pounds!!

Well, he's tapered off to a nice 80 pounds now. Sometimes I think he's fat until I see him wet, and then I worry that I'm not feeding him enough. LOL.

Of course, if you ask him, he CERTAINLY isn't getting enough food!

hope this helped!

Obi isn't 6 months yet, but this is how he is growing...

6/12/09 -(8 weeks old and day after we brought him home)~ 17lbs

7/1/09 - (10 weeks 6 days) ~ 24.4lbs

7/6/09 - (11 weeks 4 days) ~ 25.1lbs

7/17/09 - (13 weeks 1 day) ~ 31.2lbs


His Mom weighed 70-75lbs, and Dad was 90-95lbs. I'm guessing he'll end up in the middle.

holy smokes! Comet went for a rabies shot today at 13 weeks 4 days and topped the scales at 18.5 lbs! he was 10.3 at 8 weeks when we got him and was too finicky an eater the first 3 weeks with us. now he's crushing 3/4 a cup 3x a day, plus treats, which is over the recommended for puppies on the food bag.

his mom was about 70 lbs and dad was about 85 lbs.
