Boxer Growth

Did you just get the Boxer puppy? And do you want to know when your Boxer will stop growing and how big your Boxer will get? Or do you want to know if your Boxer is of the ideal weight for its age?

In this article, we will answer all these relevant questions related to Boxer growth and weight.

If you do not own the Boxer yet, make sure you purchase your Boxer from an reputable Boxer breeder. Also, check out our Boxer buying guide and Boxer price guide here.

You can also work with a reputable rescue to adopt a puppy.

It is important for you as a caring Boxer owner to know if your Boxer is growing normally and that your Boxer is not overweight or underweight.

Extensive research studies have shown that most dogs are overweight because their owners spoil them with food, treats, and easy life styles. Most dogs eat way too much and do not get enough exercise. Research has also shown that one of the reasons many dogs die young is because they are overweight. However, you can extend your dog`s life by making sure your dog is of healthy weight and growth.

One final reason to keep track of your Boxer`s weight and growth is that your Boxer`s weight and growth pattern can tell you if your Boxer has some underlying health conditions (such as bone, heart, hormone diseases). This is what recent research has shown.

This article contains the Boxer growth calculator that you can use to predict your Boxer`s adult weight. This article also contains the Boxer growth chart and weight calculator that you can use to approximately tell if your Boxer`s weight is in the normal range.

However, the more accurate method to predict and track normal growth in your Boxer is by regularly weighing your Boxer and recording the weight of your Boxer with our free dog weight tracker and weight predictor. Our tool will tell you, first, a more accurate future weight of your Boxer and, second, if your Boxer is growing normally.

We designed our dog weight tracker and weight predictor based on a recent research study carried out by researchers from Banfield Pet Hospitals and the University of Liverpool. This study collected and analyzed the weight of over 6 million healthy dogs in the United States. The dogs studied included dogs in the Boxer weight category.

Also, check out our Boxer food calculator here to know how much food to feed your Boxer based on your Boxer`s weight and age.

Boxer Weight and Growth Chart

Below is the typical growth chart and weight chart of Boxers at different stages in their lives.

Note that your Boxer may be slightly heavier or lighter than what the chart says. The weight chart is an average weight chart.

Also, this growth chart is the combined growth chart of the male and female Boxer.

To know how much food to feed your Boxer at different ages and weights, check out our Boxer feeding guide and calculator.

To know how much water your Boxer needs to drink at different ages and weights, check out our Boxer water drinking guide and calculator.

Note that the growth pattern of a female Boxer can be slightly different from the growth pattern of a male Boxer

. Therefore, later on in this article, we will provide you with the gender-specific growth chart for the male and for the female Boxer.

When do Boxers Stop Growing and How Big Do They Get?

Your Boxer will grow very fast in its first 44 weeks. At 44 weeks, your Boxer will have reached 95 percent of its adult weight. Then your Boxer will slowly stop adding more weight. At around 57 weeks (~13 months), your Boxer should be at its maximum weight. Boxers stop growing at 57 weeks (~13 months).

The above discussion is general, and it applies to both male and female Boxers. However, male dogs usually grow at a different rate compared to female dogs

A male Boxer will grow very fast in its first 44 weeks. At 44 weeks, a male Boxer will have reached 95 percent of its adult weight at 44 weeks. A male Boxer will then slowly stop adding more weight. At around 57 weeks (~13 months), a male Boxer should have reached its maximum weight. Male Boxers stop growing at 57 weeks (~13 months).

Similarly, a female Boxer will grow very fast in its first 44 weeks. At 44 weeks, a female Boxer will have reached 95 percent of its adult weight at 44 weeks. A female Boxer will then slowly stop adding more weight. At around 57 weeks (~13 months), a female Boxer should have reached its maximum weight. Female Boxers stop growing at 57 weeks (~13 months).

See the growth graph of a Boxer below.

As you can see in the Boxer growth curve below, the Boxer grows really fast in its early weeks, and then its growth levels off till it reaches 100 percent of the adult weight.

Boxer Growth Calculator

Use the calculator below to estimate how big your Boxer will get based on its current weight.

This Boxer growth calculator is based on the typical weight curve of a Boxer shown above. The calculator assumes that your Boxer is growing normally, and not on its way to become overweight or underweight.

How Much Should a Boxer Weigh?

Weight of the Boxer. Weight in the dark green region is typical, though weight in the light green region is also possible

Adult Boxers typically weigh between 60 to 70 pounds.

Above is a graph that shows how much a Boxer should weigh at different ages. Check where the weight of your Boxer falls in the graph for its age.

It is totally fine if the weight of your Boxer falls in either the dark green or light green region of the graph. However, weight in the dark green region is more typical for Boxers.

If the weight of your Boxer falls outside both the dark and light green region for its age, then you should consult a vet.

Also, you can use the Boxer weight calculator below to find the typical weight and the normal weight range of Boxers, male or female, of any age between 12 weeks and 100 weeks.

If you want to see how the weight of your Boxer compares to that of other Boxer`s of its age, enter the weight of your Boxer in the calculator, and the calculator will show you where your Boxer stands on the weight chart.

The calculator will also tell you if your Boxer is within the normal weight range for the Boxer.

This Boxer weight calculator uses information from belpatt.fr and data from a research study on dog weight carried out by researchers at the University of Liverpool.

Please, talk to your vet before taking any decision on your pet`s weight and health.

What is the Height of the Boxer?

The adult Boxer is 21 to 25 inches at the shoulder. This is the average adult height of the Boxer.

Is Your Boxer Growing Normally? This is How to Tell

Puppy growth predictors, growth charts, and growth calculators like the ones above are approximate methods for predicting growth in dogs. However, these tools have limited capabilities. This is because each dog is unique and a dog`s growth may be different from that of the overall dog population.

A more accurate and scientific way to predict a dog`s growth is to measure the dog`s weight every week and record the weight. Doing this with your Boxer will give you a clearer picture of how your Boxer is growing.

You can use our free tool to track your Boxer`s growth and weight over time. Our tool will also let you know if your Boxer is growing normally.

Tracking your Boxer`s weight will let you see the unique growth trajectory of your Boxer. You can use this growth trajectory to accurately predict how big your Boxer will get. The growth trajectory will also let you know very early if your Boxer will become overweight or underweight.

Monitoring your dog`s weight is important because pet obesity is one of the leading causes of premature death in dogs. And these days, pets gain weight very easily because their owners spoil them with lots of treats and food. Catching early abnormal weight in your dog and correcting it (through diet changes, exercise) can significantly extend your dog`s life.

Below is what a normal growth pattern and what abnormal growth patterns look like in Boxers. You can compare your Boxer growth trajectory against these references to see if your Boxer is growing normally or you can use our automatic tool.

How to Measure the Weight of your Boxer

There are two methods you can use to measure your Boxer`s weight.

The first method, which is the better and more accurate method to weigh your Boxer, is to use a dog weighing scale.

Using a dog scale is important if you would like to monitor your Boxer`s growth regularly to catch any abnormal growth early.

Having a scale for weighing your Boxer will make it easy for you to weigh your Boxer regularly without any trouble.

The scale that we recommend for weighing the Boxer is this high durability and affordable W.C Redmon Precision Digital Pet Scale. Click here to check out this scale on Amazon.

Pet Scale for Accurately Weighing Your Boxer

The second method is to use a bathroom scale to weigh yourself while holding your Boxer. Then use the same scale to weigh yourself without your Boxer. Then calculate your weight when holding your dog minus your weight when not holding your Boxer. This method is illustrated in the picture below.

However, note that this method of holding your dog on a scale is not very accurate, and it may be difficult for you to use this method to weigh your Boxer if your Boxer is very heavy or if your Boxer is the type that would not stay still while being held.

How Fast Do Boxers Grow? Boxer Growth Rate

Starting from 3 months of age, Boxers grow at a rate of 2.11 pounds per week (0.96 Kilograms per week) on average. Starting at 4 months, your Boxer will gain 1.75 pounds (0.79 Kilograms) every week on average.

At 5 months of age, your Boxer will grow at a rate of 1.43 pounds per week (0.65 Kilograms per week) on average. Then at 6 months, your Boxer will gain 1.15 pounds (0.52 Kilograms) every week on average.

See the growth rate chart of the Boxer below

Age (Months)	Growth per week (Pounds)	Growth per week (Kg)
3 Months	2.11	0.96
4 Months	1.75	0.79
5 Months	1.43	0.65

Boxer Growth Stages

Your Boxer will go through a number of developmental stages on its journey to adulthood. Your Boxer`s growth pattern can be categorized into 6 distinct stages: Neonatal, Transitional, Socialization Period, Juvenile Period, Adolescent Period, and Maturity.

You can know the developmental stage of your Boxer based on how old your Boxer is.

1. Boxer Neonatal Period

Boxer Neonatal Period is from Birth to 2 weeks. During this stage, the Boxer puppy will be totally dependent on its mother. The Boxer puppy`s eyes will still be unopened with no sense of vision. The Boxer puppy will only have the senses of taste and touch

2. Boxer Transitional Period

Boxer Transitional Period is from 2 weeks to 3 weeks. During this stage, the Boxer puppy will continue to develop a better sense of hearing and taste. The puppy`s teeth will start coming through and its eyes will begin to open.

During this stage, the Boxer puppy begins to crawl forward and backward, begins to stand, begins to wag its tail. This is also the age where your puppy’s personality begins to develop.

3. Boxer Socialization Period

Boxer Socialization Period is from 3 weeks to 14 weeks. During this stage, the Boxer puppy will be able to fully use all of its senses (vision, smell, touch, hearing, taste), and the puppy will learn to survive without its mother.

Also during this stage, the Boxer puppy learns how to act like a dog (biting, chasing, barking, etc). The rapid learning and socialization of the puppy occur at this stage, and what the Boxer puppy learns in this stage will have a long-term effect on the puppy`s behavior as an adult.

4. Boxer Juvenile Period

Boxer Juvenile Period is from 3-4 Months to 5-14 months. During this stage, the Boxer puppies will attempt to clarify and resolve their boundaries. Their baby teeth start getting replaced by adult teeth.

5. Boxer Adolescent Period

Boxer Adolescent Period is from 5-14 Months to 2-3 Years. Boxers go through social and sexual maturity during this stage.

6. Boxer Maturity Period

Boxer Maturity Period is from 1 year to 4 years. At this age, your Boxer will transition to full adulthood.

How to Tell If Your Boxer is Overweight

As mentioned earlier in this article, a very accurate way to know if your Boxer puppy is on its way to becoming overweight is by weighing your dog every week and recording its weight. This will show you the growth trajectory of your Boxer puppy. And a close look at your puppy`s growth trajectory will tell you if your Boxer puppy will be overweight or underweight. This method is relatively easy to use.

You can use our free online tool to track your Boxer puppy`s growth curve.

However, if you do not have a record of the weekly weights of your Boxer, and you want to tell if your dog is overweight, underweight, or of normal weight, then you can use a chart called the body condition chart shown below. This method requires some expertise to use, and it is further discussed below.

Overweight, Underweight and Ideal Weight Body Condition Chart for Dogs

To tell your dog`s body condition, first, look at your dog closely and observe which of its bones and structures are sticking out or not sticking out from under its skin. Next, use your hands to feel for fat and bones over your dog. To know which bones to look and feel for, check out the body condition tool guide from the World Small Animal Veterinary Association and this guide. This exercise will tell you the body condition score for your dog.

Body condition scores are from a scale of 1 to 9. A score of 1, 2 or 3 means that a dog is too skinny. A score of 4 or 5 means that a dog is of ideal weight, and a score above 5 means that a dog is overweight.

Talk to your vet if your Boxer appears to be overweight. The vet might recommend reducing how much food to feed your Boxer.

Conclusion on Boxer Weight and Growth

In this article, we have provided you with the information, growth charts and growth calculators to help you tell how big your Boxer will get. These tools will also help tell if your Boxer is growing normally.

However, the best way to monitor and predict the growth of your Boxer is to measure and record your puppy Boxer`s weight every week.

Use our free Boxer weight tracker and calculator tool available here to track and predict your Boxer`s weight.

It is important that every Boxer owner monitors the growth of their Boxer for normal growth by checking the weight of their Boxer regularly. Regular weight monitoring will let you detect any abnormal growth very early before it is too late. We discussed how you can tell if your Boxer is growing normally from your Boxer`s weight history earlier in this article.

Abnormal growth in Boxer can be because of underlying disease (such are heart, hormonal, or bone problems) or because of overfeeding or underfeeding. All of the aforementioned reduce the Boxer lifespan and quality of life.
