Puppy to Adult size

I have used three different weight calculators and two of them are similar and one is way off. One says my puppy's adult weight will be around 92 pounds, the other two say between 145 and 160 pounds. He is 6 months old August 8th, and his current weight is 70 pounds. Does anyone have a good guess as to about how big he will be when grown. I also have read that he will not reach adult size and weight till around 2.5 years old. Thoughts?

I would say those weight calculators are not much help!

Six months old, and 70 pounds? You do not have anything to worry about if you were concerned about having a Corso that's too light.

Yes, a lot of medium and large breeds don't reach their fully-mature size an appearance until 3 or even 4 years. But hopefully your Corso will look as awesome as you want it to by about a year and a half. I bet it will. Please consider not spaying/neutering until the dog is mature!

Thank you brother. I know I worry too much about my babies, but that is the thing, my last two are dead, old age, and I just worry so much about my baby......it is soo hard when you lose a baby, people just don't understand how hard it feels. I know I am stressing about the wrong things. I know I should just focus on his health..... He is a HEALTHY BOY, thank you brother. And he is fully intact until at least two by contract.... I will not take his jewels unless medically required. Thanx bro

Those calculators arent much cop, they have bursts of growth then steady down, keep him lean so his joints arent struggling with extra weight, my middle cc had a growth at near 3 , hes far taller and bigger thhan my other 2, and yet hes the most energetic.

Every pup grows at their own rate, I wouldn't give much thought to those results. The size of your pups parents will give a good indication his adult size. Our boy is 5.5 months and is pushing 80lbs, I did a calculator once and it projected 202lbs fully grown.... highly unlikely lol
