Dogo Argentino puppy growth: milestones and weight estimates
How fast a Dogo Argentino puppy grows, illustrative weight estimates and the limits of predicting adult size.
Dogo puppies gain weight fast, often reaching 20 to 25 kg (44 to 55 lb) by six months, and reach full height at around 12 months. The head, chest and muscle keep developing until roughly two years. Ask the breeder for BAER hearing test results before you choose a puppy: deafness in one ear is not always obvious at home, and knowing early shapes how you train.
Keep puppies lean, feed a large-breed puppy diet and limit forced running, repetitive jumping and stairs during the first 18 months. Controlled, positive meetings with steady adult dogs matter a great deal in this period. A puppy that limps for more than a day or two, doesn't respond to your voice from behind, or develops scaly red patches on the skin should see a vet.
