Bluetick Coonhound puppy growth: milestones and weight estimates
How fast a Bluetick Coonhound puppy grows, illustrative weight estimates and the limits of predicting adult size.
Puppies grow quickly, typically reaching around 15 to 20 kg (33 to 44 lb) by 6 months and near adult height by a year. Expect a gangly stage with oversized ears and paws, followed by filling out through the chest and shoulders by about 18 months. Behavior often lags behind the body, and many stay puppyish until 2.
Keep exercise moderate while joints develop and favor scent games over long runs. Start ear cleaning and paw handling early, when the pup is small enough to hold easily. Recall and lead work matter enormously in these months, before the adult nose fully switches on. Limping or stiffness lasting more than a day or two warrants a vet check.
