General Paw Size

My pup is 3.5 months and her paws are huge. How long do paws grow until? Will they continue to grow as she grows?

i would think they grow as long as the dog is growing , possibly just at a different rate than some of the other bones , like the lower jaw grows faster than the upper jaw ...... some dogs have big feet , and some have small feet for their respective size , just like people , 5'9" isaiah thomas has a size 12 , 6'9" paul george has a size 12 .....my biggest dog doesn't have the biggest feet of all my dogs ...........

My friend recently welcomed a mastiff puppy into their family. He also have a little big paws, which I think is species characteristics.

They have huge paws, but their bodies generally catch up, and, as Marke pointed out, it is just like humans when it comes to size. Some humans have smaller feet and some have giant clodhoppers. The same holds true with dogs. Mastiff paws are never going to be...well,...dainty. As you can see from my Avatar...Bailey's girly paws are still pretty darn big. When she paws you wanting something...it can hurt!
