I noticed in the last few posts people mentioned how big their dog currently is. As Jade is a puppy, her weight is ever changing and I thought it would be fun and informative for everyone to post their dog's stats. Here are Jade's:
English Mastiff mom, Labrador/Rottweiler dad
Unspayed female (for now)
16 weeks
39 lbs.
Jade at 12 weeks

Rocco will be 2 years in October. He is now about 96-100 lbs. Vet says he should be as close to 90 as possible, so we've been dieting him a little.
For large dogs, my vet told me the leaner they are, the better for their joints because they can be prone to joint problems. And extra weight (just like for humans who have knee issues) make things worse.
So hopefully, we can get Rocco down to about 95 lbs.
Togo also will be two in October. He is huge, he weighs 125 lbs, but according to his vet - he is just about perfect. The breeder we got Togo from predicted that he will be about 125 lbs, and she was right on the money.
Togo has been on the large breed puppy and now adult food that has stuff to help grow strong hips and joints. Every little thing helps I guess.
We just came back from out 2.5 mile walk so Togo is downstairs enjoying his bowl of ice cubes.

Buford is 7 months and 70 lbs. He has not started to fill out yet so he is just tall, long and very lean. He has never been a big eater and until recently I could never get him to finish his food.
I think he will end up being about Rocco's size but who knows, maybe he'll surprise me with another spurt and get as big as Togo.
We have Jade's sister. Saka is now seven months and between 75 an 80 pounds. The vet said she would max out at 70. It was a bad guess.
She is simply the best dog I have ever owned. The chewing is a bit much but she only destroys things in the yard. We tried to put everything up, but there is no up that is up enough.
On her hind legs her head comes up to my shoulder and I'm 6 foot.
She is great with the kid and our Beagle. Great temperment, very obedient and eager to please.
This is a great breed.
Do you have any pictures of Saka, I'd love to see the comparison! I've got Jade pegged at 6.5 months, since her birthday is the 26th, which just makes the size of these pups even more amazing! Jade was 82 lbs and 25 inches at the shoulder this weekend. She's growing 2-3 lbs per week still, and eating 7 cups of food per day. Her only bad habit is digging holes in the backyard. She doesn't try to dig out of the yard, just small random holes all over the place! Fortunately I'm not a gardener, so it's not too bothersome for me. Much like Saka, she's easy to train, gets along well with my other dog, and so far she loves everyone she meets. When I first got Jade my estimate was 80-90 lbs full grown. Obviously that's not going to happen. :-) So now I'm guessing 110-120 full grown, especially since these dogs grow for 2-3 years and don't even begin to fill out in muscle until they are about 1 year. Looks like I'm going to need a bigger doggie door, lol!
Size update:
Jade's growth has slowed substantially in the past few weeks. As you can see above, she was 82 lbs at 6.5 months. She just turned 8 months last week, and is about 93 lbs. Still a huge puppy, of course! But she is now gaining only one lb a week. I still expect her to reach 110-120 lbs full grown, but only time will tell!
I'd love to hear from Saka's family, if there are still on here!
hi there, ive just gotten a mastador, same mix as your jade.
mine has lab x rotti mom, and english mastiff dad.
she has marking similiar to jades. i will post pics in the near future.
what is jades activity level like. i am wondering how active i can expect her to be, more like lab or more like mastiff. she is only 6 weeks old right now and not doin too much, likes to nap lots.
she will be going to the vet in the next week for her shots, and am excited to see her weight, if she is anything like your jade im guessing she will be a very large puppy.
When Jade was 6 weeks, she was napping half the time and playing half the time, with the occassional meal thrown in! The breeder said that Jade was about 10 lbs. at 5 weeks, and I next weighed her at 8 weeks and she was 16 lbs. Hopefully you can compare those numbers with your pup to see if they will be a similar size, although it's hard to be sure until they are older.
Jade loves to play fetch, and to run around the yard with me and my other dog. She can run for about an hour at the dog park, but then she's tired and ready for a 2-3 hour nap. As long as she gets a 30-45 min. walk and about an hour of play time with me, she's happy. Oh, Jade's a digger, so keep an eye on your girl!
We just adoped a 15 week old Mastador and named him Dozzer he looks like he has been playing in the mud. He is around 30-40lbs and the best friend to our other dog (a black lab) any 3 kids! We cant wait to see how big he is going to get! All we know is we need to get a fence up and a farm!
