English Foxhound puppy growth: milestones and weight estimates
How fast an English Foxhound puppy grows, illustrative weight estimates and the limits of predicting adult size.
Foxhound puppies grow steadily, reaching most of their height by 10 to 12 months and full weight and muscle at around 18 months to 2 years. A male might weigh 18 to 22 kg at 6 months. Hunt-bred puppies traditionally spend several months with puppy walkers, local families who raise them so they learn about people, farm animals and roads before returning to kennel.
Keep puppies lean and limit long runs until about 12 to 14 months, even though they will seem capable of far more. Early experience of household life matters enormously with this breed: short spells alone, crate or pen training, and careful meetings with cats, livestock and small pets. Prey drive is strong, and early habits shape how manageable the adult will be.
