How big will she get?

[mamad21975]

I currently have a female pitbull/lab mix we believe who is 4 months old and is 28-30 pounds. Does anyone out there have this breed of dog? If so how big do you think she will get? Her mother was a smaller pitbull at only 33 pounds, she however will be larger than that, just would like to here from anyone else that has encountered this crossbreed.

Well that's the beauty of mutts -- they're a surprise! It will be hard to tell from guesstimating alone, but knowing both parents I would assume to just take their average weights and maybe factor in if they have more of the mom or dad's genetics... You can take 100 pit/lab mixes and I'm sure they'll be all sorts of different shapes and sizes

4 months and already 30 pounds, though, my 3 year old Aussie is 40 lbs! So to me she'll probably be big, hehe.

Hello, and welcome to Pet Talk!

Let's see a photo of your dog, we LOVE photos!

Let's see if I remember...

At 6 months, the puppy is about 1/2 to 3/4 of her adult height.

At about 4-6 months, the puppy is about 1/2 her adult body weight.

That's not COMPLETELY reliable for every dog, but it gives you a rough draft to work with. FWIW, Ivy was about 3/4 of her adult body weight at 6 months, so it really differs from dog to dog.

Here's a general growth chart:


So what does that mean? Your pup will probably max out at about 60-ish pounds.
