My 6 month old cane corso (female) is 20.5" and 50lbs and i am wondering if she is small for her age. she seems to have grown quickly up until the 5 month mark and then it has slowed down. Thanks for any input I can post pictures if necessary
It can vary by dog/lines as to how fast they grow. They gain height until approx a year and can continue to fill out up to a 2-3 years. Genetically she will grow to what was predetermined so I would not stress it too much unless your vet says she is too skinny.
What Mary said! Plus... 50lbs at 5 months from my mastiff growth chart would put your pup over 120lbs when full grown (at 3+ years old). Which would be a big CC! My chart is for a wider EM, and every dog is a unique mix of Nature & Nurture, so your mileage may vary.
Hey DennasMom - do you have a copy of that chart you could post? I would be interested to see what my CC is up to height and weight wise? - cheers!
My girl is 11 months old and weighs 108 pounds. When she was 8 weeks she was 18 pounds. It looks about right for my girl, every dog is different though.
Lettie doesn‘t count. She‘s too big. No, just kidding. She looks awesome. I would agree that this chart is about right, but it will never be an exact since, as there are too many influencing factors (primarily genetics of course).
I finally sat down and wrote out Letties weight chart (I just had it written on my fridge calandar). 8 weeks- 18 pounds 12 weeks- 30 16 weeks- 50 20 weeks- 63 6 months- 71 7 months- 87 8 months- 93 9 months- 98 10 months- 101 11 months- 108 She will be a year old on April 29th so I don’t have the 12 month weight yet.
Lettie will be 12 months old in one week and she weighed in yesterday at 111 pounds so she is still gaining a few pounds every month.
The chart seems to be on point as long as you add any additional needed points and information. I have a question that perhaps someone out there can see if they have run into a situation that I have at the moment. I’m looking forward to begin my breeding program, my main foundation female is perhaps the largest female I’ve come across. She will be 2 yrs in March , 30 inches at shoulder withers and weighing in 135 - 140 lbs. My stud is 28 inches at the shoulder withers and weighs in 130 - 135 lbs. Has anyone seen or come across a female this size and this will be her first litter for later this year?
We do have a Corso breeder on the forum. Hopefully she responds to you. That's a big girl. What other attributes does she have that made you choose her as your foundation bitch? We like pictures around here, lol.
