Hey folks, hope everyone is doing well.
Is there a proper weight scale somewhere that I can look at to see if my pup is within range?
He was 4 months on Feb 20th. Today I took him to the vet for his next rounds of vaccinations and he weighs 57 lbs. Is that good, low or high?
Thanks,
Frank

BTW - he's on about 6 cups a day of Taste of Wild. He also gets a faw egg on a daily basis, several strings of cheese, and sometimes raw chicken legs or quarters or whatever beef or pork WinDixie puts on sale. Lately, he's been getting one or 2 t-bone steaks for lunch. I don't give him any kibble for lunch or dinner if he's getting raw.
Is that too much, just right or not enough? My goal is to have a strong, good looking boy. (like everyone else I guess).
Thanks

Post pictures of him and I tell you if its to much--- I go by how the dog looks, you want nice cover over the rib cage and lots of lean muscle mass.
Dogos even as puppies are pretty solid in the muscle department.

Yeah, lets see a pic  . If I could do it again with a puppy I would always make sure I saw at least 3 back ribs, from 4 months on. It took me almost a year to get my dogs at a weight that I was happy with and the dogs are happier and healthier because of it. Being overweight is too hard on a large dog as they are growing |

I wouldnt change a thing --- he looks good--- maybe a tinny bit less fat would be good, BUT he is a growing boy with nice big solid bones and he will require food to build on--- there will be times he will seem THIN because he will be growing, so I would keep him right where he is at right now. LOVELY ear crop--- I wonder who did such a nice job  . He is going to be something to look at when he is 4. |

Thanks Oly! And yes, the Dr did a nice job. Speaking of which, I'm absolutely fanscinated by one of his dogo's. I forgot the name but it's the MONSTER, huge one that he has. Susposedely he's and uncle to my dog. I wish Luke will turn out half as nice as that dog.
BTW - any update on the March hunt?
Thanks

+1 on the weight, he is perfect right as he is.
The dogo at the Docs house you are refering to is Cilantro. A magnificent animal, and half brother to "Blue". He is also the sire to my little Pirata.
I think your boy will turn out more like his daddy Blue, than Cilantro and thats a good thing, because overall Blue is more correct.

I know he's a bit big but wow, outside the ring that boy is impressive and intimidating! How's your Pirata doing? Post some new pictures when you can. Take care, Frank |
