Question

Bolt
my boxer is 13 months old but weighs around 51-52 pounds.is it normal? also i always think that he is not as big as they get.height is almost 23.5 inches at the withers??
Thanks

Answer
Hi Shalin,

Your boxer still has another year of growing and should be around 70 lbs at age two.
They grow tall the first year and fill out the second. The height is about right.Thank You for your question.
