20.2 kg

Just been to the vet to get tobys flea treatment. Thought we would weigh him to see how much weight hes put in in the last month. Last time just over a month ago he weighed 13 kg. Hes now 6 months old and weighs 20.2kg . Theres no fat on him and is walked about 2 hours a day. How much bigger is he likely to get. Ill post a pic when i can

hmm yeah that quite heavy for a 6 month old.. considering he has a long way to go in growing yet

Hes not pure staff. Looks staffy but with long legs

If hes not pure staff then no one can tell you how big he will get, depends what hes mixed with. Zeus turned a year old last week, hes a fairly big staff compared to most I've seen and he's about 21kg

Hmm, thats a lot of weight in a month. Are you sure there was no mistake? What was he wearing? cause some harnesses and leads can be heavy, also did he need to be held there cause the weight of your or a vets arms might have put a few kilo on.

If i were you i would weigh yourself, then weigh again holding your dog and subtract the difference.

WoW! thats a lot, mind you suppose it depends what he is crossed with, at 20k at just 6 months he could end up 35 to 40k full grown!!
Ella is 19.2K and 15.5 inches at 2 and a half years and the vet says she is 2k overweight?
Any way the bigger Toby is the more of him you'll have to cuddle

thats alot lot of weight to put on in a month are you sure thats right?

Somebody has done their schooling

Bailey is 17 months and 18" and weighs 18-19kg! Sierra is 5 1/2 months and weighs 8-9kg!

I put 1lb on once when i was holding my phone, set it down and i lost 1lb! Every little helps

So hard to tell but 20kg at 6 mths u can expect him to be around 30ish when fully grown, he will get a bit taller still too.
Any idea which breed he is crossed with ? (hard to tell from ur profile pic, could be Lab, ridgeback or anthing!) my staffy male is 11mths and 18kilos, very muscular.

When we weighed him he did have his harness on bus this is just a light fabric one. We weighed him three times with the vet nurse as i couldnt believe it my self. His mum is a faily big staff, the dad was apparently a pitbull type dog but i never saw him. And from reading on here pitbulls dont really exist over here. Ill try and get a pic up after work. Im a wee bit worried as he could be over weight but dosnt look it to me. Im hopeing when i get a pick up one of you guys may be able to advise me on that one. Thanks for reading

This is toby and his mum taken last week.

Cut boy! Hes not overweight, but i really think a mistake was made with the weight lol

i would advise re weighing somewere else just for a second opinion. tyke is crossed so he pretty leggy and heavier than your average. what did your vet say?

I will def pop by the vets and check again. Especially as they gave us the flea treament for the over 20kg dogs.

It was one of the vet nurses. She didnt seem to care. Was suprised at her attitude as i was very shocked. Thinking about it now i should of asked more questions.

Whoa thats alot of weight. 7kg at just over a month! thats approx 233grams a day on what should be around a 300g feed on kibble so a 2 thirds food retention one third waste. For that size id expect something like a mastiff cross so expect just under a 7 stone adult dog. Either that or someone left there shopping on the scales lol. Good looking dog though so who cares:0) just get down the gym to prepare your arms for walkies lol

This is one from this morning

yeah he's a big lad.. gorgeous

Thanks we love him.

he looks great i would think the weight was right this time but a month ago i think there scales may have been bust and he was closer to 18kg then not 13kg

He doesn't look overweight to me. You could always weigh him at home as well just to be sure. Weigh yourself first and then pick him up and weigh yourself again.

Mum and dad have scales ill try when im there tomorrow

Looking at him he looks in preportion and in good shape and could well be that weight with that muscle tone. Tbh it wouldnt suprise me if he was a 20kg + dog but would like someting to scale him with. Very good looking boy as well mate

Weighed him on the bathroom scales today, came in a touch over 20kg.

Silva is 6 months and weighing in at 22kg. We always suspected he was crossed something though.He's not the leanest dog but he's not fat either.

He looks like a loverly dog

In that case the first time being weighed must have been a mistake, maybe a leg was off the scale or something lol

He is a good size though, not overweight. So all you can do is keep up with him as he grows
