Brooklyn is my ABPT 9 mnths and she is only 37 pounds! :shock:
Is this normal? Her parents were huge (from what I heard, I've never seen them before)
She is extremely small compared to dogs that are younger than her. Its not like I'm not feeding her, she gets lots of exercise....will she stay this way forever? When do they stop growing?
Wow, it is official...I am clueless. I had no idea it took 2 friggin years for them to grow......and no, I have not read the standard ...I just didn't see Brooklyn getting any bigger for months....so I started getting worried. How much does Daizy weigh and how old is she?
The humane society thought Carla was only 6mo because she was "only" 35 pounds. She has filled out and is 40lbs now, and the vet thinks she is about 3 years, so that is as big as she gets. Everyone who meets her is amazed how little she is, but she is "normal."
Aha! Thanks for that....I now know that Brooklyn isn't a freakish minature pit bull!

Talking to a guy in the know over here, true pitties are actually smaller dogs the larger bulky dogs you see aren't what the breed use to be.
Apparently a lot of breeders (even though it's banned here now) are happy that the public expects a PB to be some huge muscle bound terror as when anyone sees their true PBs they have no idea what the dogs are.
Going from the standards if Storm my Staffy was maybe an inch or 2 higher and gained 5 kilos she'd actually fit into a true PB range. It's scary but no wonder how so many dogs get misidentified.
