We are dying to know how much bigger Penny will get. She has gotten much more broad/stocky the last few months. She weighed 40 pounds when we had her at the vet last week. He is still gaining weight, but much much slower than up to about 6 months or so. Her mom was small (about 40 pounds), but from the pics we saw her dad was a big guy.

Yes between 18 to 24 months they are full grown. Height wise usually after a year, then they start filling out and widening.

I agree with [MENTION=2071]Davidh[/MENTION] I was told, and have now experienced, that the first year is growing tall, and then the second year is growing wider!!!

Interesting! Betty is almost 19 months and I assumed she was full grown. She still looks pretty petite, so maybe she will fill out sideways. She looks so much smaller than other bulldogs I see.

Lola is 11 months old, and people keep asking how big she'll get. About a month ago she was 48 pounds. I think she's as tall as she's going to get, but her head and chest seem to be widening. Her mom is on the small side, but her dad is a beast!

I get asked this question all the time too (about the boys that is , not me! haha). It's interesting to know that mine still have some growing up to do b/c Tate is already a big boy, I think. He's only 10mos old tho, and Finn is 9mos and is a lot more slender than Tate. It will be neat to see how they "fill out" some more.

Bonez, Bitzie, Brook and Bumble....not forgetting our ff Mr Burger
Bonez is the chubby one ,but the vet said he is not overweight , Bitzie is only about 2lb lighter than what Bonez was at 4 moths but she is alot slender which makes her look taller. The real funny thing is everyone thinks he is full grown and she is his baby. They are so shocked when i tell them he is only 10 weeks older her.

After the first year did your bulldogs gain much weight or was it just redistributed? Oliver just turned 1 and is 60 lbs. Just wondering if he is going to be gaining more weight as he is pretty long and tall. Scary thinking he could get much bigger

He will gain more in mass/bone, and maybe a bit of chunk too ;).
