It's almost been a year his birthday is on the 25th time is flying. When we first brought him home at a little over 2 weeks old he was smaller than the wells fargo horse in one of the pictures

Beautiful pup!

What is the pole he's tugging on in the yard?
It's a spring pole I made. Just a pole I buried about 3 feet into the ground or you can use pvc pipe 2 big d rings and 2 Springs from a trampoline just clipped a rope toy on it. It doesn't look like much but all my dogs love it.

Looking good. Crusher is at 155# and about 29" tall now, @ 15 months.
Do you know what the average weight should be for my pup at a year. He puts on and loses weight real easy so it's been a challenge for me

They are so diverse but at a year between 120 and 150 would be normal ranges for a male. Your boy looks natural at the 150 range and will most likely top out at 170 at 3 years old. Just keep him fit and don't let the fat build up. Getting thin is never a real issue with these guys. Until 2 years old they can drop 5 pounds in a week then put 10 back on the next week. I even feed mine pure beef fat and eggs and not see a pound change in a week. But Jade is 4 now and she will gain 3 pounds in a week and drop 5 the next. So she is on a set smaller portion diet and the boys get as much as they will eat or as much as I can give them.
