MY boxer is 8 months exactly and is right around 53 lbs. in my neighborhood there are at least 10 other boxers... my dog is around average compared to most at his age, but many neighbors say "ohh he is a little one" "hes small for a boxer" etc. although he is alittle shorter than most how much bigger realistically is he going to get. I realize that breeders and litters have alot to do with it but what can i expect with my dogs current weight and age? his dad was a big thick chested dog(probably 80 lbs). i have been reading alot of people on here saying 110 lbs. is a direct result of bad breeding so what is target height and weight according to today's standard, because i may be misinformed but i believe boxers ,at least, used to be considered a large breed dog and weighed in on average around 95-100 lbs. i have read multiple places that boxer will get taller up till about a year and gain weight to 3 yrs. now obviously i understand he wont grow at the same rate as he is now but is this template somewhere in the ball park or not??? i love my dog and im tired of saying hes only a puppy...
maybe i am misinformed i am new to all this but absolutely love the breed and i will never own any other dog. sorry if this has been discussed a million time i am a newb. :lol:
