Question
I have a 2 year old male boxer mix i'm wondering what weight he should be, and if he'll ever bark he only growled i'm wondering if he'll protect me and my home he's sweet as pie but he won't be agressive with strangers and i'm concerned.

Answer
I cannot predict his weight; however there are three bone structures to consider; large, big bones, medium, and smaller boned.

Weight depends on that as well as diet, exercise and activity and genetics.

What size was his parents?

Average adult male Boxer weighs 75-90 pounds.

All things considered, will determine his adult weight. He is still growing some at age of 2.
