does this sound right for my boy??

after my previous post about the cough he had, we were at the vets again this morning to make sure his temperature came back down, all is good but the gave me some antibotics just to be sure. got him weighed and he is 19.25kg I always worry he doesnt eat enough and he is really fussy when it comes to his bowl but will gladly eat anything and i mean ANYTHING from our plates I know before people say not to do this but he doesnt get....... all the time lol, hes 2yrs 4 months height when sitting is about 20''..... his neck is 17'' around and chest 25' around'...... ive seen staffs different weights and heights but im just wanting to check my boys "normal"

He sounds pretty normal although he's certainly a big boy! But then, they're all different.

As long as he's fit & active & not overweight then he's fine!

Weighs the same as Moo sounds fine to me Xx

gosh billy is 20kg and he is not a year old yet

Depends what you calss as normal.

In terms of breed standards then no.

Size:
Desirable height at withers 36-41 cms (14 to 16 ins), these heights being related to the weights. Weight: dogs: 13-17 kgs (28-38 lbs); bitches 11-15.4 kgs.

He sounds very large for a Staffy to be honest.

He is not within the standard, but a lot of breeders are breeding dogs outside of the standard for whatever reason.

Winston already weighs the same as Jethro and he is only 6 months old!!

aw hes cute though

Mines 20kg and is 8 months old, so not in the standard like alot on here aren't but perfectly healthy

LOL Tia is a female and she weighs 21kg !!!! She is IKC reg but WAY too big !!!!
Suits me though I like big doggies!!
Giving scraps from the table is grand as long as they are not covered in sauces, meat, vegies and cheese are grand!
As long as he is fit and healthy I wouldnt worry about his weight or size!
Tia was 18.5kg when I adopted her a couple of months ago and looked fat, now she weighs 2.5kgs more and is fit and healthy looking!!!!
