How big are your hounds?

vonny · 01-28-2007, 04:55 PM

Just wondering how heavy your hounds are.I have looked at a lot of the pics on the forum and a lot of your hounds look huge

My two are 45 pounds for the male and 40 for the female.

Patty and Dolly are 1 year sisters and Patty is petite and about 42 lbs,Dolly is chubby and she is at 50lbs. Copper is almost 2 and he is 65 lbs but he is very long so he isn't fat at all. Needless to say it is an adventure to walk all three at once

Lightning is about 60 lbs, and I have to fight to keep his weight that low. Stomps is a rescue and has always been skinny and a finicky eater, so I fight to keep his weight up. He usually maxes at about 45 lbs.

Leeloo is 51 pounds. Not overweight, according to the vet, but big boned.

Belvedere is a good 70 lbs now, at 5 years old. He's just a big boy. He has gone down a few times but he seems happier with his treats

Dixie is holding onto the same weight as she was when she came to us a year ago ...54 lbs. She's 8+ years old. Very dainty.

Moe weighs seventy pounds, give or take a pound or two. His current weight is healthy for his size according to our vet. At one point, about five years ago, he weighed a whopping eighty pounds and looked very "beefy".

This was after his "I'll-eat-anything-anywhere-anytime" phase.

Bogie (2 years in 2 months!) is just hitting the 40 pound mark, but he was 35 when I got him from the rescue. The vet said he is sort of long for a basset, but he's also short and not very wide or thick around the chest. Because of his bow-legs, I'm supposed to keep him under 45-50 pounds so they dont get stressed from carrying his weight. So they aren't all huge! and mabye some just look bigger in pictures!

Sadie is one and 55 pounds, Max is almost 7 months and 39 pounds.

Both of mine are over 2 years old. Digger is 63 lbs and is on the thin side. Dozer is 59 lbs and is actually a little too thin. They are very active, and get all they "will" eat. (I say "will", because they will only eat so much, sometimes skipping meals I feed them)
