Question
I have a female fawn boxer Kenya, age 11 months. She weighs about 70lbs, she is 24.5 inches high and 22.5 inches in length. I was told by her breeder that she is going to be a big girl due to her being the only pup, and she has huge paws. How much bigger do you think she is going to get?
Thank you
Jamie

Answer
She is huge. She is weighing what an average adult males weighs.

Most average adult females weigh from 50-60 pounds.

Her height is tall to, taller than average.

She is almost an adult, yet she should still be eating puppy chow because she is not over 1 year old-- and as you know, Boxers are playful and puppy-like forever.

She is still growing- not much- but still.

She will probably not be any taller at all, but might put only another 5-10 pounds, or maybe remain about what she is currently and simply muscle up more.

I would love to see a picture of Kenya. I haven't seen a female that large. I bet she's a looker!
