Hi guys
I wanted to get a comparison of fellow Basset owners puppy weight.
We weighed our girl (Squishy) last night and at 21 weeks of age she weighed in at 40 lbs.
(digital scale - she was at 40.2 lbs. After we weighed me holding her then subtracted just me by myself)
We got her at 10 weeks and she was 19 lbs then. At 15 weeks she was 29 lbs. Then at 18-19 weeks she was 35 lbs.
When looking at her from above, she has a waistline and you can feel her ribs underneath all the skin.
I'm not concerned about her weight - the vet says she looks good (Not too skinny, not too fat...just right). But the vet says she's going to be in the 50- 60 lbs range.
Here's my question - Squishy is only 21 weeks old and is already at 40 lbs. It seems to me that she's got a lot more time left to be growing and will exceed the 60 lbs range.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has had a puppy at that age that weighed that amount and what their "final" healthy adult weight was.
....so much for having an adult dog that I'll be able to carry or lift
She managed to "sneak" up the stairs when visiting with my parents the other day. (My father wanted to see if she would go all the way up when I wasn't watching, so sneak isn't really the right word
I was not a happy camper carrying her back down... Although hearing her run around like an idiot upstairs for a few seconds was funny. She knew she was somewhere she wasn't supposed to be - my mother gates off that area so she won't go up since Basset puppy and stairs are not a good combo.
