hey, this is droolsrus-Tami i have recently gotten a english mastiff puppy. he is 16 wks old. his name is Hoss and is a apricot brindle.  at 16 wks he only weighs about 45 lbs.  i am thinking that he is very small for his age. his parents were both about 170lbs.  is he behind or are we alright on the growth chart? he was the biggest puppy of all his brothers and sisters,but i'm thinking he is behind.

help!!!
thanks

hello! i am lauren and i have titan mastiff pup who is 11 mos and 3 year old great dane.
At 12 weeks titan weighed in at 32 pounds...at 16 he was about 53 or so pounds.  He is 11 months now and about 200 pounds..well.. .180-190..they grow fast..i don't even remember him small!!! good thing for pictures!

Welcome to BPO   I think he is fine. You don't want him to grow to fast or weigh to much it can cause bone damage down the road.

I think he is fine also.  If hes happy and healthy then I wouldnt worry to much about him being to small.  I would love to see pics of your baby!! I am Lori...and have many critters including an almost 3yr old English Mastiff named Marley!  So welcome aboard!

Welcome to BPO!!  Gunner is our first mastiff pup.  He is 11 weeks old and about 30 lbs and he was the biggest in his litter as well.  The ladies here have been pretty awesome with any questions I have had, I hope you enjoy it here. Cant wait to see pic's of your boy!

Welcome, welcome!!!!  As has been stated a few times already; can't wait to see pics!!!!  I don't have a mastiff....yet, so I can't answer your question but you're in the right place for it!!

hello and welcome!

Your guy sounds alright to me.  Not that I have a mastiff but Gunther my great dane was around 40 lbs at 12 wks.  Each pup will grow at different rates.  Ones that are runty now may end up outgrowing the largest of the litter down the road.  You just never know.

As long as he looks to be a good weight (not too skinny) and is healthy, I wouldn't worry too much about it.
