    When is he fully grown?
    I have a boston terrier puppy. He is a little over 4 months old now. I am just trying to figure out when he will stop growing. I have heard with puppies you can take their weight at 3 months and double it. But I am just wondering when he will be fully grown. TIA!!

    Hello, where did you get your puppy? It you purchased it from a reputable breeder you should be able to look at the parents on the premises. If you purchased it from from a pet store than your puppy more than likely came from a puppy mill. You could try looking that the Boston Terrier Breed Standard,which I have listed here for you. I hope this was in some way helpful to you. (O:

    Yea I got him from a breeder, and his parents were 15lbs and 18lbs. For some reason though I think he is going to be larger then this. At 4 months he is already a little over 12lbs. So that's why I was asking when he will be considered fully grown. Thanks though.

    Some breeds grow fast (like the Chinese Char Pei is done at six months) and others are slow (my Lab/Hound mix was a year before she was done) so its best to look up for your specific breed. Males tend to be larger than females on an average. I have never heard of the three-month rule and think its not a very good gauge from what I've seen of puppy growth. Congrats on your new "baby" too!
