Question
What is the average weight of a 10 month old female boxer?
Hi Cari,
I don't normally like to give a number when asked a question about the average weight. There really should be no recommended weight for a boxer at any age because all dogs are different. However, if you were to browse, you would most likely find the average weight for a male boxer is 60-70 pounds and 50-65 pounds for a female. This does not apply for all boxers, as boxers come in all sizes.
Instead of judging your boxer by weight you should judge by how she looks and feels. You should be be to easily feel her ribs without excess fat covering them up. When you view her from the side, her belly should be tucked up. When viewed from the top, you should be able to see a noticeable waist in front of her hips.

| Comment | Thank you very much for your response! :) I have just been a little concerned because as of late, I have seen several female boxers that are MUCH larger than my dog. She is doing quite well, but I was a little concerned. Thank you for your assistance. | ||
