Maggie's Mommy

Just curious how much your hounds weigh?? Rusty looks MUCH heavier than he is. He has tons of extra skin, so he looks like he weighs more. Both of mine are really active and play alot. Plus we walk about 3 miles a day. Today we used the scale at PetSmart. I know it's right because one day we used it, went to the Vet from their and her scale said the same. They eat 2 1/2 cups a day.

Stickers: 46 pounds
Rusty: 49 pounds

Mine both weigh in at between 45 and 47 pounds, depending.

Dear sweet Lily (ATB ) you will never be forgotten.

Dozer-Digger

Dozer is 56 lbs @ 3 years & 7 months. 54-55 lbs on a 2 year average.
Digger is 62 lbs @ 3 years & 3 months. 59-61 lbs on a 2 year average.

They both look about right, but this is the most either has weighed before. I don't know, but that one extra pound since I last weighed them, sure makes them look heavier.

Now for the scary part. They eat 6-7 lbs of dry/can mixed together, and 6-8 biskets PER DAY.

Bogie is going to be turning 3 soon. He eats about 2 cups of food a day, plus some bits of a different kind of kibble when we practice sitting and things, plus treats when I leave the house. He's about 42 pounds, but he's on the small side for a basset, I've been told.

Bogie Carter now weighs 53 pounds. He was up to 58, still had a waist, but the vet said too much padding over the ribs, so he's on 1/2 diet INNOVA and 1/2 regular INNOVA, getting 1 & 1/2 cups of food a day in two meals. He does get a few INNOVA dog biscuits during the day. We walk him daily 1 to 2 miles weather permitting, tough here in the winter with below zero temps and snowy and icy streets. No sidewalks in our neighborhood until we get to the park area.
Bubba, ATB, weighed 65 pounds, but he was a much larger and bigger boned Basset than Bogie.

Lightning&Stomps

Wow. I would have thought Rusty weighed much more than that (not that he looks fat--he's just so substantial). Stomps, who is skinny, weighs almost 50 pounds, and Lightning is somewhere in the 60s. I've met bassets that weighed upwards of 100 pounds; most of them were not fat--just huge--but some who were just plain fat.
