Gunner, is a rescue and is a mixed Mastiff breed.. is mommy is a Cane Corso/Neopoltan Mastiff cross and dad was a Mastiff of some breed possibly crossed with a rottie. I have no idea what his ideal weight should be at 5.5 months old, at 5 months (a couple weeks ago) I weighed him in at around 60lbs. His leg bones are very thick, and he is very long, but he does not seem overly tall, but then again I see him everyday and when I run into people that have not seen him in a week or so they can't get over how much he grew! Maybe i do not see it as much because I am with him every day! I was walking him the other day and someone asked me, among a million other standard questions, How big will he get? I had no idea what to answer because I have no clue..lol.. then the person said that if you take the puppy's weight at 6months and double it that is a good indication of how big he/she will be full grown. Not sure if there is any truth to that, thoughts?
For me it is more about making sure that he is a healthy weight, not too underweight but also not overweight; however, it is hard to know what breed standard to go by for a general guideline!
