How Are They Growing?

I actually got a little concerned recently when we brought Paco to visit his brother and sister and found that they were significantly bigger than him. We found out that they were just fat due to lack of exercise and being overfed, but I couldn't shake the feeling afterward that Paco could be bigger. He's 5 1/2 months, about 15" at the shoulder, and Chris weighed him at 16 lbs, but that was on the Wii Fit, so not sure how reliable that is. :P
Anywho, here he is!

great pictures all..I love this thread.

Based on my Riley's growth I don't think that's all that far off. We got him at 4 months old and at that first vet visit he was 16 lbs. And he's a big boy now at a fit 27 lbs. Paco may end up just about standard…

Thanks for the reassurance, Mauigirl :). People keep asking Chris and me if Paco will get any bigger, and we're always like, "well…we HOPE so...." :p

what do you think about his body? He is lighter than the other males on his age. Higher and smaller, if you understand. :P

L'Ox is like that too but I expected as much since his parents were both slow to fill out.

Johnny is also lighter and smaller boned than the rest of the puppies. He is still my pick puppy.

Wow! All these pretty B's are getting big, I just realized how big my Cairo is getting. Weighed him yesterday, over 22lbs compared to 17 when we got him at 4 months. He's 5 1/2 months now.

I think he is gonna be a beast, over 16" at the shoulder. He's real lean, I exercise him regularly. His head is getting more broad, along with his body. I wish I had a good digital camera, he is soo pretty. I've nick-named him big red. Haha

Well, he could be a fast grower… and gain all his height/weight young... or he could be a "beast"... :eek:
16" at the shoulder is not huge even at this age, but 22lbs is pretty heavy, but that said, I would bet that he might just be a fast grower...
