Dogue de Bordeaux puppy growth: milestones and weight estimates
How fast a Dogue de Bordeaux puppy grows, illustrative weight estimates and the limits of predicting adult size.
Dogue puppies grow at a startling rate, going from well under 1 kg at birth to roughly 25 to 30 kg by 6 months. Height is mostly reached by 15 to 18 months, but muscle and bulk keep coming until 2 or even 3 years. A food made for large or giant breed puppies helps keep growth steady rather than explosive, and portions should keep the puppy slim, never round.
All that weight lands on soft, still-developing joints. Avoid forced running, jumping from heights and long staircases until at least 18 months, and favor short, frequent walks and free play on grass. Ask your vet to check growth and body shape at every visit. A limp, swollen joints or a puppy that seems reluctant to stand up should be seen promptly rather than watched for a week.
