My boy is 5 months old today and weighs in at over 37 pounds. He seems to fit his massive frame but a lot of charts I see on Internet say he is over weight. What do you guys think?
Could you PM me a link to one of these bully weight charts..... Ive never seen one for bullies. I do know they grow at vastly different rates but I dont know that there is any kind of average rate.
Ike is 32 pounds @ 4 months taken at the Vets on Monday. He is not overweight. Luca looks just fine! and by the way i love the phantom of the opera mask on him!
I know Rumble just turned 4 months and he is 35 pounds! The vet said he looked good and you can still feel his ribs so she said not to worry because they are still growing. I love Luca's face by the way!
So precious!!! He's still a pup, I would not be too concerned at this stage. Unless he was downright obese. A photo topside would be a better way for us to tell though, and a side view standing up.
It's not necessarily nonsense. An AKC dog is supposed to follow the AKC breed standards if you want to show him. And it's a general guideline for the average bulldog. But a lot of dogs don't fall in the "average" side of things. A better way to gauge your dog's growth is to get the charts for his dam and sire and his grandparents. This would give you a better idea of what can be expected from your own specific dog.
But, by the picture you showed, your dog looks in good shape.
Lola was a big girl at that age too but now she has slowed down. I love your bully's face it looks like a straight line was drawn down his face and one side is color one side white very unique!
[MENTION=7837]bcarro45[/MENTION]-that is a little bully but some just are on the smaller side naturally so as long as the vet says your bully is ok then I wouldn't be to worried!
Chunky is 6 months and 43 lbs, but he has a waist, as long as his shape is healthy, then I'm sure he's fine!!!! Some just get big quick, we switched him adult about a month and a half ago, so that he didn't grow too fast for his bones! but he still gains 3lbs a week, my big handsome boy <3 <3 <3
All bullies grow at different rates.....my last bully topped the charts full grown at just over 30 pounds. She was tall and lean. We got Gracie almost a month ago and she was just under 5 pounds. Now she's over 16 (thanks to a good diet made up of homemade kibble found in recipes thread). The Vet says she's right on track. It depends on how he/she looks. If they look fat, they're fat. Lol
