I was wondering how old are bullies when they are as tall as they are going to get and they start filling out? My Lola's growth has slowed down and I dont notice her getting much taller although I figure she is its just not as fast. She is almost 5 and a half months so how much taller will she get? She is looking funny these days also like she has a really long back but her legs are getting thicker and filling out some but her body is still long and skinny. She is already at around 40 pounds and im pretty sure a little bit more, I will have to weight her in the morning and find out for sure. Will bulldogs with longer backs have any health problems that the traditional box shape bulldog will have? Im concerned for her back not getting the support she needs and her hips. She looks like a bulldog mixed with a weenie dog ;). Will her legs ever catch up to her back?

Bullies go through many changes as they grow, they stay narrow and then get long legs and around one year of age they are about as tall as they are going to get but will start to fill out and get wider, until about age 2. They don't totally stop growing until about age 3.

Lola looks as tall as her parents I think I bought a horse when I bought her she is a big tall girl! I was hoping she was done growing tall! She weighs more than my 4 and a half year old does. I will have to take pictures that show her true size.

Since I got involved with Rescue I have seen SO many different shapes and sizes of pure english bulldogs that you would not believe it!!!!!! But the general rule is that they grow upwards until they are about a year, and then outwards until they are about 2. Although it's the first time I've heard that they actually can keep growing until the age of 3 [MENTION=2071]Davidh[/MENTION]. Interesting, because Daddy turned 2 in August and in the last month or so I think he's got a little more stocky in his legs and chest.

[MENTION=5264]sweetpeasmom2008[/MENTION] she is very cute and looks normal to me. She will fill out some as she gets older.

Im glad to hear she will even out! I have read it a million times on here but then I look at Lola and think they must not be talking about you because you are just to long! And I do know different! She doesnt look real thick to me and she has a tiny waist but she is really active and lean looking. Either way she is perfect as long as it doesnt cause health problems Im ok with it!
