tobys weight

was waking passed the vets so thought id get toby on the scales. hes now 23.6kg. looks like he will be rather big. has any ones dog been this weight at nearly 8 months. he is a cross but looks mostly staffy with longish legs.

my staff weighs 23kg but at over 2 years old, he was only about 16kg at 8 months old i wouldn't worry about weight they all grow differently

Yep they all grow at different rates. Logan grew big very quickly and early in his puppy stage and I thought he was going to be a ridiculous size if it continued. But now he has started to mature he looks a bit more like he should.

Agree I wouldn't be too concerned, they grow differently Moo was 23kg but she is also older, he looks fab to me anyway

he's looking lovely

not worried as he looks very healthy which im sure is something to do with the raw diet. have you always fed you dogs on raw?

yes i have since he was a pup and then Chance when he came to us

He looks really well

He is gorgeous!!! do you know what he is crossed with?? He is seriously beautiful!! He does look really staffy to me besides his legs are slightly longer than a typical staffy but he is still a pup and not fully grown so he may just be in an awkward lanky stage!! He looks great!!

He certainly doesn't look overweight. Very handsome boy.

From your Avatar he looks in fantastic shape so if he is not "standard" it's irrelevant (apart from your pocket for feeding the beast of course )

thanks. we love him. the mum is a staff with long legs. i never saw the dad, but was a big lad so im told. a couple of his sisters have a red nose so not sure what to think there. he is so well behaved and good natured. we have him on a raw diet which im sure is doing him the world of good and fairly cheap.

this is him with his mum and one of the sisters

my boy was 14kg at 8 mths !
hes now about 19kg at 13mths old - no fat - just lean muscle.

He looks like he is in great shape. Suki is around 24 kg at 2 1/2 years old but she is an AmStaff. I don't think weight is important unless you are interested in showing. Other than that I just go by looks

He looks really good. Vinny is an AmStaff and at 6 months is almost 25kg. And none of it's fat
