Vizsla Growth

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

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

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

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

It is important for you as a caring Vizsla owner to know if your Vizsla is growing normally and that your Vizsla 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 Vizsla`s weight and growth is that your Vizsla`s weight and growth pattern can tell you if your Vizsla has some underlying health conditions (such as bone, heart, hormone diseases). This is what recent research has shown.

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

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

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

Vizsla Weight and Growth Chart

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

Note that your Vizsla 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 Vizsla.

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

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

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

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

Age	Average Weight	Typical Weight Range
15 Weeks	25 LBS	20 LBS – 30 LBS
20 Weeks	32 LBS	26 LBS – 39 LBS
25 Weeks	38 LBS	30 LBS – 46 LBS
30 Weeks	43 LBS	33 LBS – 52 LBS
35 Weeks	46 LBS	35 LBS – 56 LBS
40 Weeks	48 LBS	37 LBS – 59 LBS
45 Weeks	49 LBS	38 LBS – 61 LBS
60 Weeks	51 LBS	39 LBS – 64 LBS

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

Your Vizsla will grow very fast in its first 43 weeks. At 43 weeks, your Vizsla will have reached 95 percent of its adult weight. Then your Vizsla will slowly stop adding more weight. At around 57 weeks (~13 months), your Vizsla should be at its maximum weight. Vizslas stop growing at 57 weeks (~13 months).

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

A male Vizsla will grow very fast in its first 43 weeks. At 43 weeks, a male Vizsla will have reached 95 percent of its adult weight at 43 weeks. A male Vizsla will then slowly stop adding more weight. At around 57 weeks (~13 months), a male Vizsla should have reached its maximum weight. Male Vizslas stop growing at 57 weeks (~13 months).

Similarly, a female Vizsla will grow very fast in its first 42 weeks. At 42 weeks, a female Vizsla will have reached 95 percent of its adult weight at 42 weeks. A female Vizsla will then slowly stop adding more weight. At around 57 weeks (~13 months), a female Vizsla should have reached its maximum weight. Female Vizslas stop growing at 57 weeks (~13 months).

See the growth graph of a Vizsla below.

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

Vizsla Growth Calculator

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

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

How Much Should a Vizsla Weigh?

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

Adult Vizslas typically weigh between 45 to 65 pounds.

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

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

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

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

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

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

This Vizsla 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 Vizsla?

The adult Vizsla is 21 to 24 inches tall at the shoulder. This is the average adult height of the Vizsla.

Is Your Vizsla 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 Vizsla will give you a clearer picture of how your Vizsla is growing.

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

Tracking your Vizsla`s weight will let you see the unique growth trajectory of your Vizsla. You can use this growth trajectory to accurately predict how big your Vizsla will get. The growth trajectory will also let you know very early if your Vizsla 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 Vizslas. You can compare your Vizsla growth trajectory against these references to see if your Vizsla is growing normally or you can use our automatic tool.

How to Measure the Weight of your Vizsla

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

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

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

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

The scale that we recommend for weighing the Vizsla 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 Vizsla

The second method is to use a bathroom scale to weigh yourself while holding your Vizsla. Then use the same scale to weigh yourself without your Vizsla. Then calculate your weight when holding your dog minus your weight when not holding your Vizsla. 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 Vizsla if your Vizsla is very heavy or if your Vizsla is the type that would not stay still while being held.

How Fast Do Vizslas Grow? Vizsla Growth Rate

Starting from 3 months of age, Vizslas grow at a rate of 1.76 pounds per week (0.80 Kilograms per week) on average. Starting at 4 months, your Vizsla will gain 1.44 pounds (0.65 Kilograms) every week on average.

At 5 months of age, your Vizsla will grow at a rate of 1.16 pounds per week (0.53 Kilograms per week) on average. Then at 6 months, your Vizsla will gain 0.92 pounds (0.42 Kilograms) every week on average.

See the growth rate chart of the Vizsla below

Age (Months)	Growth per week (Pounds)	Growth per week (Kg)
3 Months	1.76	0.80
4 Months	1.44	0.65
5 Months	1.16	0.53
6 Months	0.92	0.42
7 Months	0.72	0.33
8 Months	0.55	0.25

Size of Male Vizsla Versus Size of Female Vizsla

The average size of a male Vizsla is 55 pounds (25 kg) while the average size of a female Vizsla is 49 pounds (22 kg).

In general, male dogs are usually bigger than female dogs.

Vizsla Growth Stages

Your Vizsla will go through a number of developmental stages on its journey to adulthood. Your Vizsla`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 Vizsla based on how old your Vizsla is.

1. Vizsla Neonatal Period

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

2. Vizsla Transitional Period

Vizsla Transitional Period is from 2 weeks to 3 weeks. During this stage, the Vizsla 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 Vizsla 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. Vizsla Socialization Period

Vizsla Socialization Period is from 3 weeks to 14 weeks. During this stage, the Vizsla 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 Vizsla 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 Vizsla puppy learns in this stage will have a long-term effect on the puppy`s behavior as an adult.

4. Vizsla Juvenile Period

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

5. Vizsla Adolescent Period

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

6. Vizsla Maturity Period

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

How to Tell If Your Vizsla is Overweight

As mentioned earlier in this article, a very accurate way to know if your Vizsla 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 Vizsla puppy. And a close look at your puppy`s growth trajectory will tell you if your Vizsla puppy will be overweight or underweight. This method is relatively easy to use.

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

However, if you do not have a record of the weekly weights of your Vizsla, 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 Vizsla appears to be overweight. The vet might recommend reducing how much food to feed your Vizsla.

Conclusion on Vizsla 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 Vizsla will get. These tools will also help tell if your Vizsla is growing normally.

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

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

It is important that every Vizsla owner monitors the growth of their Vizsla for normal growth by checking the weight of their Vizsla 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 Vizsla is growing normally from your Vizsla`s weight history earlier in this article.

Abnormal growth in Vizsla 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 Vizsla lifespan and quality of life.

Don`t wait. Start tracking your Vizsla`s weight today!
