Azawakh puppy growth: milestones and weight estimates
How fast an Azawakh puppy grows, illustrative weight estimates and the limits of predicting adult size.
Puppies grow tall quickly and often look gangly, all legs and angles, through their first year. Most reach adult height around 12 months but keep maturing in body and temperament until about two or three years. Weight gain can look erratic, with growth spurts that leave a youngster temporarily bony.
Free play and galloping on soft, safe ground are fine, but avoid forced running on hard surfaces or long road walks until at least a year old. Socialization during the first 16 weeks matters more for this breed than for most: gentle handling by many calm people, visits to new places and positive trips to the vet clinic shape how the adult will cope with the world.
