Hi guys I was wondering if anyone could tell me the average weight of an American bulldog male at nearly 8 weeks old.I'm no expert on American bulldogs and would appreciate any input. My pup weighs 4.55 kilos at nearly 8 weeks old I'm worrying that he is far too light.I viewed his mother and father when I got him and they are pretty big dogs. I'm starting to think the mother may have been crossed with a staffy or something.
I do not know anything about the breed but would not think that 4.55 kilos is too light for a not yet 8 week-old puppy. What does your vet think? You say you think the mother may have been crossed with a staffy "or something" and yet you say you had seen both dam and sire. Do you have any registration papers for the puppy? And would it bother you if the puppy is not what you think it is?
Ambulls can vary wildly in size, even within the standard. Take into account people that breed outside of that for whatever reason, and there is a huge range that your puppy could fall within. He's 8 weeks old. Is he eating and pooping normally? Treated regularly for parasites? Growing? Of a good body condition? Yes? Then ignore numbers. And if you bought from a breeder that you didn't trust... well then more fool you
