Summer was 62lbs at 6 mos. She was 34lbs at 12 weeks. She is 1.5 years old at 80lbs....

Moral of the story - look to the parents for size. Some grow fast (not good for their health) some grow slower..... be patient and love your pup! Don't shove food into them because you want them to be "bigger" that's a bunch of weird ego driven human crap....
 
Layla is the runt and probably has a smaller breed dog mixed with her (we're thinking she has a little bit of red heeler) and she is 32lbs at 5 1/2 months
 
Hi all, I know this thread is old but since people are still responding and I also have an issue with size, here goes. A trainer recently told me my puppy, who is now 29 weeks and the biggest of the litter at birth, won't grow much in height and I'm eager to hear your opinions about this. His father is really big, doesn't fit the standard but is a beautiful dog. His mum is apparently on the larger side too. My pup's height is around 60 cm at his withers.
 
My pup is exactly 6 months old. His weight is around 23 kilograms (50.7lbs), a bit on the lighter side. His height however is around 59/60cm (23.2/23.6inches). He still needs to fill in a bit. :)
@Praneel
Can't really comment on the fact if he's going to be big or not. Mine is about the same height and two weeks older.
 
At 6 months Hagan weighed in at 39# (lean) and Hera was 42#. Hera will be towards the top of the standard for females and Hagan probably more towards the bottom (61-62 cm) for males. Weight is a poor way to compare since many people keep their pups too fat and working people tend to keep them very lean. 60 cm at 6 months would not be something I would be concerned about. He will still grow.
