How big will he get?

adrierox · 02-10-2010, 11:26 AM

Hey guys, i'm a new user so i should start off by introducing Cerberus (sir-ber-rus). Hes an American Staffordshire Terrier and hes 7 mos almost 8. And at that age hes already 60 lbs. I was just curious as to how large you all will think he'll be at his size and age. Ive done all the research about this breed and hes already past the full grown size of an average AmStaff. Thanks for your help!

What was the weight/height of his parents?

Usually that is a good indicator. If he is registered you can also look up his family history on the database.

hes already the height of his father and his mother wasnt as tall. his head touches my waist and im 5'0 so im guessing he could be about 24" now but thats just an estimate. his parents werent registered, elisabeth. im just excited to see him full grown. i love big dogs! i agree myvalentine theyre so lovabull heheh. hes so sweet and friendly to all animals (we have 5 cats). what breed is your puppy, myvalentine? hes so cute!

It's going to be a "wait and see" game then if you do not have any family history.

Do you have contact with the breeder or any littermates? This way you could compare the size of your puppy with the others.

large breeds stop growing by two, yes.

Typically large breed dogs stop maturing around 2 years of age. Some breeds and more specifically some lines (such as DDR lines in GSD's) mature slower than others.
