Well we're back having seen the vet for boosters yesterday. Drumroll please? The minimonster weighed in at 34 lbs at 12.5 weeks! He is not in any way a round puppy - he has great muscle mass already (pretty typical of raw fed dogs), but is just going to be a BIG boy!
He sure is a cutie!! I know how you must feel about the "monster" growth, as Bear was very similar in weight:
9 weeks - 22.5lbs
11 weeks - 29.3lbs
13 weeks - 38.7lbs
16 weeks - 46.7lbs
He'll be 18 weeks this weekend, I can only assume he's over the 50lb mark now.
My vet said he
should start to slow his weight gain down around 26 weeks. But if he keeps up this growth rate, I figure he'll be 70lbs at 6 mos. Good gawd!!!
