Guesses on what will be Hiccup's adult shoulder width!

Another very random question but I am having a kennel made for Hiccup but as I know he will be a rather stocky instead of tall dog, I've asked them to custom make the entrance for me.

So what I need from you guys if you don't mind is the width of your adult male Staffie's shoulders. Hiccup is currently 11.4kg at just over 5 months of age. We think he should mature to around 20-25kg, judging by his current growth and the size of his father.

Pretty please, won't all you male Staffie owners give me an estimate =)

Im not 2 sure, kenny is a year old and still growing, I think he's hit his height, but aparently will get a little stockyer. I'd make it a wide entrance, it's allways difficult to predict, as they grow until their about 18 months i think, if im wrong tho, im sure some1 will correct me. x

They carry on growing wider till they are 3 years old, so someone with an older dog should ne able to measure as Billy is only 18 months

The guy who makes the kennels says that 30cm covers most dogs but he can make it up to 40cm, 40cm sounds like it should be fine, doesnt it? Worst case scenario and he gets too big, we can do either get a new kennel or make the entrance wider ourselves.

40cm ??? he'd still get through their with shoulder pads on unless you decide to give him some steroids He's a beauty BTW and really love the name

Hahaha, am I over-compensating now? Do you think the standard 30cm will be fine? Thanks for the compliments on Hiccup, he is my everything XD
