Just curious what y'all would say on my pups weighed. He weighed in today at 7 1/2 months (25 weeks) at 61lbs. His mom and dad were both around 60 full grown. How much more do y'all think he should gain?

He will definitely be bigger than his mom and dad. Most dogs get to their full height around 9-10 months. Once they have topped out in height, they will begin to accrue body mass, ie wider shoulders, larger head, more musculature.

I know its not the answer you were hoping for, but hopefully it helped.

You got yourself a future 90 pound dog there I think.

YUP! Take your pup swimming as much as possible. It will keep the fat pounds off and build muscle mass to support the skeleton. It also is easy on the ligaments and tendons of a growing pup.
