To be honest you can't really influence how stocky they are as its down to genetics!

Saz is right, definitely down to genetics, also they are still puppies, they are growing and need to grow right, they will take shape after a year and stop growing up to 2 years Smile

Is that 5 months & 10 months or 5 years?

As everybody says, their eventual size will be ruled by their genes & whether or not they've had good nutrition & exercise.

What food are you feeding them at the moment?
