Doghealer,

Your little one looks so much like Apollo did when he was a  pup, the only difference is the ears. (I see the coon in them! ;D)

Apollo is 20 months (well, will be in 3 days, but hey, close enough!) and he weighs in at 140.5lbs. I have noticed that he slimmed down recently, but his legs are getting longer, so I think we're in the midst of a late growth spurt. (oh yeah!) I haven't measured his height lately, will have to do that tonight. The pic in my avatar was taken 3 months ago.

I would say that your pup shows every indication of topping the 140 mark, maybe even larger. Great advice was given, watch his feeding habits closely, weight should stay proporionate to his height.

Have fun watching him grow, and I hope to see oodles of pics!!!

I don't believe that either.  Lady was 40 pounds at 4 months and is almost 100 pounds at 11 months.

Don't know about that formula, Rebekah, but I do know that BOTH your pups are the CUTEST THINGS EVER! Man! I am just having puppy FEVER!!!!! I can't WAIT until I can get a pup-a-roo of my own! But, for now, all of the cute puppy pictures kind of make up for it. Thanks!

Zero was 64 lbs at 17 weeks...So I will use 60 lbs...that would bring him to 144 when full grown.  He is 8.5 months and maybe 105 now..Havent weighed him.  I am curious too

I don't know if I believe the 4 month thing. At four months, Zoey was about 42lbs. At 13 months, she weights 113, so she is bigger whether you go by the x2 theory (84lbs) or the x2.5 theory (106lbs). And she's still growing, so even if you did times 3 I still don't think that would be enough...

I think the 2 or maybe more so the 2.5 times what they weigh when they are 4 months can work real well on a large dog. I think the giants might be harder to estimate that way. They grow so fast at first then slow down, but grow for a long long time. Take OEM's as an example, I think 60 to 65 lbs when they are 4 monts is kinda correct, that would make them 150 to 160-165 lbs as fully grown, but most OEM's are way closer to 200 than that, and a lot of them quite a bit over 200. But when I do the estimation on the large but not giant dogs I have had, I can see that it is probably not too far off.

I also keep record of Gunther's weight as I don't want him to grow too quickly.  Here is a breakdown of what I have so far.  He was born 11-17-04.  We got him 2-13-05.

2-16.....40.2
3-11.....50.4
3-18.....54 (on different scale)
3-30     62.9
4-8.......67.5
4-22.... 76.0                                   
5-3.......80.9                                   
5-17.....86.6                                   
6-1.......91.6                                   
6-13.....96.5                                   
6-22.....103                                     
7-2.......104                                     
7-13.....107                                     
7-25.....109                                     
8-3.......109

Well whoever taught me how to post pictures created a monster. Dog photos are my favorite thing. Here are updated Nigel pictures since I haven't posted any of him in like 2 days.

He is almost 7 months now, and 67 lbs. He is still very clumsy and has feet that look way too big for him!

I can tell everyone is really hungry for new pictures of Nigel.

He is 8 months old and 77 lbs. He seems like a monster now, and I am realizing he is going to keep growing until he is as big as me. It already hurts bad enough when he steps on me! And he has taken to sleeping on my pillow at night, no matter where my head is. I love this guy, the best way to describe him would be... "big turkey."
He is looking rather mastiff-like lately!
 :D
