Ask the Frenchie Vet - French Bulldog Weight at Maturity?

lorihuntdvm June 23rd, 2008

I just had a question on the growth of my frenchie. He is about 16 pounds at 6 months old. Should I expect him to grow much more??

He is a purebred Frenchie, but doesn’t seem to have as big as bodies as other french bulldogs I see in pictures.

Dr. Lori writes -

Hi there…

Different frenchie lines grow at different paces and have different body types. Yours may simply be a leaner more “terrier” type frenchie.

Your breeder may be able to give you and idea of what she expects his adult size to be.  If he is 16# at 6 months, I would expect him to be about 22-24# when full grown.  They seem to be about 75% grown by his age.
