Redbone Coonhound puppy growth: milestones and weight estimates
How fast a Redbone Coonhound puppy grows, illustrative weight estimates and the limits of predicting adult size.
Redbone puppies grow quickly and reach adult height at around 12 months, with muscle and chest filling out until 18 to 24 months. They are clumsy and gangly in adolescence, sometimes tripping over their own ears. Expect puppy energy to last well into the second year.
Avoid long runs and repetitive jumping until the growth plates close around 14 to 18 months, and keep puppies lean, as extra weight stresses developing hips. Introduce scent games early; they give a young hound a healthy outlet for its drive. Limping that persists, reluctance to climb stairs or a swaying hind end should be checked by a vet.
