I'm just curious, haven't had a puppy in a while and I've never had a dalmatian pup before. ;)
My Scout is 7 months old and weighs 40 lbs even. He's almost as tall as Odie, but not as "filled out". At 4 years old, Odie weighs about 48 lbs. I'm thinking Scout is going to be substantially bigger -- Odie is on the small end for dalmatians anyway.
Opinions? Guesses?
Generally, from 6 months to a year they gain about 20-30% of their current body weight. Thats just a very general formula though.

I agree with Aly, but it does tend to depend on the breed. Danes and Mastiffs and other large breeds actually grow for 18 months to 2 years. But for a Dal I would guess that he's near full growth in height and will fill in probably near 15 more pounds maybe...or not!! lol

In Goldens, they are usually at there grown height at 9 months of age and about 90% of their adult weight. They will still fill out though up to about 18 months. Females are not as noticable as the males.
I am not sure about dalmations though but would think it is very similar.
