Ideal weight?

Hey all

Took Rocky to the vet today for a weigh in and pick up worming tablets.

A month ago we had Rocky weighed and he was at 9.6kgs (roughly 21pound) and today he weighed in at 14.4kgs (roughly 31pound)

Is this an ideal weight for a 5 month old?

He gets regular exercise and is fed twice a day, dry food in the day, and meat/chicken veg etc. at around 6pm. Not over feeding him at all I hope.

Any advice would be great

p.s tried to upload an image for reference of Rocky but couldn't figure it out! Sorry

Hi Maria, they are all very much different shapes and sizes & I'm sure your vet would have told you if he/she thought he was being over fed  

This should help with the photos, can't wait to see them.

According to the standard I think male are meant to be at fully grown between 11-16kg. However, staffy's vary a lot in size and a lot weigh a fair bit more than that. 
I think it is more important to look at your dog than comparing weights. If you look down at him, can you see a clear waist? If you feel him can you feel his ribs? And maybe see the last two? If yes, most people would consider that a healthy weight. Hope that helps

I can't add to the above, agree that I would pay more attention to what you can see rather than weight

Zeus is 16 months old now and he weighs 21.4kg (weighed him at the vets yesterday), so that's a typical example that staffy's can vary in size.

They all grow at different rates! As long as he looks good I wouldn't worry about trying to figure out if he's average weight, there really is no average weight for a pup anyways.  But Gwen is 6 months old and 32 lbs or 14.5 kg

I always go on look and feel

Great advice everyone! thank you so much  will definitely go by this indication, he is looking well can definitely feel his ribs, and can see the clear waist. Will upload some photos now!

if it helps any Boss is 6 1/2 months and is 16.5 kg and you can see his last rib still  if he looks fine, then hes fine.
