Is there such a thing? My Bessi must be in the 200th percentile! I call her Big Boned Bessi. She is 20.6 lbs at 13 weeks. She does not have a belly, but she is breaking our backs!

Bessi is in the pink and Smili is in the green.

Stay tuned for the pics from the Basset Family reunion!

She's about where Winston was at 13 weeks. He was always a little tank...fastest grower in the litter.

My puppies are going on 14 weeks and they are all in the 20 to 23 lb range.So your girls are spot on.

I'm not sure how much Gandy weighs right now. He just seems huge for his age. His dad was on the small size, and mom was normal for a female, so we were hoping for him to take after his dad. His mom's dad weighed 90 lbs. and we are starting to worry he's going that direction.

Boomer's Mom

Boomer is almost 16 months old, and weighs 48 lbs. I don't know how much his parents weighed, but they were on the smaller side.

Wworm

How much does Smiley weigh, just curious, for comparison?

I agree w/the below, seems pretty normal to me. Worm was 22 lbs at 16 weeks when we got him. And he is on the smaller side.

Re: breaking your back-- having not carried anything more than a few pounds for a long time, it was a huge adjustment to be lifting a 22 lb guy! my arms and shoulders were sore for sure. i used to let him lay on me, but now when he does, i feel like i'm suffocating and can't breathe these days, i try to carry him as little as possible (he's 36 lbs...)

not only that, but you've got 2 of them!!!
