6 month puppy weight

hey guys

my staffy girl has just turned 6 months and i was wondering what a guideline weight should be. she was weighed 2 weeks ago at 11.5 kg, you can feel her ribs at a light touch and she is walked twice a day(30mns) and ran in soft sand 3 times a week for 20 mns. she has a definite wasteline and doesnt look overweight but iv been told shes too heavy by one person and told shes a large puppy(physical size) for her age compared to others. shes a pure bread with good background and her mother and father were also large dogs.

Hi ya, welcome to the forum

From what you've said above, it sounds like you've got it just about right. You shouldn't be able to see the ribs but feel them and a waist is spot on. Some Staffies are heavier set than others which is probably why you are getting mixed messages.

cool thanks for your help,i was a bit nervous as i dont know of any other staffs local to me for comparison

ignore what others say - what do they know?

she sounds just right.

our staffs depending on pedigree and if they are crossed with another breed their weights vary you vet would highlight any particular concern to you anyway .  cant wait for photos

Sounds about right to me too. However, photos are most definitely needed (preferably lots of cute ones) to be sure...

thanks for the help guys,shes in next week for her 6month check and needles so ill get the vets opinion too.heres a pic for puppy attention

She looks absolutely perfect.

Perfectly beautiful Spot on weight too!

She looks great, no weight problem as I can see, she is only a puppy and still loads to grow.

She does look fab and what great markings. Wills is spot on above, she has lots of growing to do so will change as she does so

thanks guys shes my little baby haha

her colours are getting more spaced and stripey now with age and the sun really makes the lighter brindle glow

She's gorgeous & look to be in great shape
