I for sure need to see her standing up...hahhaha
just to see how big she is..
she looks like she is a good size laying there but not 55 pounds..
wow was she a skinny thing..
way skinny...

but in the mean time here she is perched on her sofa, her seductive pose.



here she is skinny........

she sure do not look at it in the threads
wow can not believe 55 pounds...she sure do not look at it.
need to see a pic of her walking around sometime...usually she is sitting somewhere..
need to take a pic of her standing...ok??

She weighs 55 pounds, I just have a big sofa that makes her look small. tee hee

that is a good idea to measure as well.
Bella we knew cause her old harness just did not seem to fit..way to small..
she really expanded about 2 and half to 3 years ...she blossomed...
although she lost weight from excersise outside ..big time like 6 pounds in a year.

Josie sure do not look like a big gal in the pics you post of her..
she hides her weight really well...
what does she weigh??

Gus is 52-54 pounds
Bella is 42 pounds..

Bella's parents were both smaller bullies..
and Gus parents were larger bullies
so makes sense it is in the gene's..

but that does not hold true for my pug here..and nobody knows what happened to her..lol
her parents are 20 plus pound pugs..all stalky. her sibblings are all 20 plus pugs..all stalky and she is small and dainty and tiny..at only 14 pounds at 2 years old. the breeder feels that genetics did it to her too..she picked it up from..........my a great grandparent or something...she is the only tiny one of the bunch... she is healty and frisky. do not want the extra weight on a pug anyhow..lol

since she has been spayed. When I got her fleece her girth was 30 inches. She was a skinny chick when I first got her, a mere 28 inches. She is a big girl and can handle a few extra pounds. J & T

I should add that the final "bulk" the bulldog will achieve is directly related to its genetics. You can add some 'fine tuning' by regular walking exercise, keeping toenails trimmed, keeping decent weight...these will firm up baby fat and help the dog move gracefully on balanced distribution.

I know Gus ribs are still expanding here some. he is not quite 3 yet so guess we have some time left...lol to grow

I wandered about the height and Bella and Gus weight did not change awhole since 9 month either..just kinda held there own but a few pounds maybe.

Some a little less, many not until closer to 3, but you can get some ideas from their parents if that info is available to you.

Most bulldogs reach their adult height at about 9-10mos old, and they continue to fill out, both in body width and chest depth and in skull too. As for puppy behavior, some 'never grow up' and their owners marvel at that, but again most settle down when they get about 3yrs old...if they will settle down at all...LOL.

keep track..she will really get much broader..
they really do change..
LOTS and LOTS..
you will see a huge change..
Bella put on like 6inches that year in her chest
need to remeasure Gus to see about him
he is forever changing in his chest too..still is
Bella I think is almost maxed out
Bulldogs grow outwards until they are at least 3 someone posted
some longer then that too..

I wonder how Audrey will change! I measure her frequently, I should re-measure her chest to see if it's grown. I made her a cute Halloween harness, that was the last time I measured her.

Bella did not gain much weight but she sure got broad
about the 2 and half year mark
Gus is still expanding here yet..
I can see it all the time
Bella got fitted for her harness and she needed it much larger then a year before..
and she lost 6 pounds but that chest sure sprung out..

except her head seems to be getting bigger. For a while her head was small compared to the rest of her, we used to call her Beetlejuice! SHe is much more proportionate now.
