Murphy is growing like a weed?
This lovely (spawn of satan) puppy has gone from the tiniest little thing to a giant.
3 weeks ago, he was 40.5lbs at the vet, so he's probably about 43-45ish now.
I'm wondering how big this little squirt will end up being? The trainer said yesterday to either triple his 3 month weight or double his 4 month weight. He was 29.2 (i think) at 3 months, so that's 87.6lbs, and double his 4 month is 80 (He'll be 20 weeks this upcoming Saturday). The vet said he would be at least 85-90lbs, but leaning more towards the 90lb end.
His father wasn't a huge lab (more American, I'd say about 60lbs) and his mother was in the same range, so I'm wondering if he'll be more like his grandparents? He isn't chubby - he's eating normal, no extra helpings, etc. He also looks nothing like his father or mother. Murph has a boxy head and looks more English than American. I would rather not contact the breeder, but is it possible for a pup to look more like their grandparents?
I know it isn't unusual to see 80-90lb labs, but I'm just curious as to how big that is! LOL I'd love to see him grow into a big teddy bear, but I also don't want the next Clifford the Big Red Dog climbing all over me.
(Side note - he's been losing a lot of teeth which is awesome news for my arms and pants. He still bites, but he's starting to learn to control his biting)
