in between 70.3-93.6 lbs!!!! lol naw for real im guessin he'll be around 70 lbs or so give or take a few, but you said it he could really surprise you and top out at 96 lbs or he could stop at 65. who knows.

i can tell you this much, at 9 months he's almost done gettin tall. and from personal experience (with my dogs) his head will be the next growth spurt. and his body will most likely fill out till hes about 3 years old.

He sounds like an awfully large "APBT". I'd question if he wasn't Amstaff or other breed if he broke 75 lbs. Standard for a male APBT is up to 60 lbs max. I think its girls are 30-50 and boys are 40-60lbs. If you were looking for a large breed dog why did you choose an APBT? They are medium breed dogs.

And what are you measuring that is 32"? Surely not to the withers.

If you don't let him get fat, he will probably be around 65 70 pounds. If you don't control his weight he could be 100+.

32" is almost 3 feet, that is a LARGE dog. That would be the shoulders of the dog around the same height as a door knob. lol

That is why Kellyann was asking where they measured the 32 inches at.

My apbt is around to 70 lbs now at 13 months, he's from the watchdog bloodline, which i'm investigating to see if they mixed with american bulldogs or not, because i've seen it stated to be a rumor a time or two. I don't know how big cassius will get, but he's good looking, that's for sure.

Sorry everyone just got in to arugment with someone and I am the bigger person to admit when I am wrong "it does take to people to properly measure a dog" Cassius is 26 inches from top of head to ground. LoL it was my first time and I guess I cant do it that plus the 6 pounds the scale gave me ( that I didnt want to admit to) he rounds out to be 47 pounds but I dont want a big beffy dog anyway

No problem, I was just thinking a 32' dog would be HUGE. Usually a dog is measured at the top of the shoulders. That is where the breed standard is measured. He probably won't get a lot taller maybe an inch or 2, I would guesstimate around 60 pounds. I am not expert. lol

if he's watchdog up close and he's only 13 months then im pretty sure its an ambully. my gramps old gazzettes from the 80's showed real APBT under watchdog blood but since then ive seen the gazzettes from 2000-2004 and theyve converted to ambullies from what ive seen. not sayin your dog aint a bulldog, maybe his watchdog blood is 12-15 generations back which would have then likely been APBT's who knows i havent seen your pedigree.

32" is like double the standard at the withers! And yes I would say that is great dane territory. LOL. My great dane I had years ago stood on my shoulders and looked me right in the eye and I am 5'10" and she was small. Not that anyone ever described her as small LOL.

My girl Tasha now is 17.5" at the withers at 7 months old and is not expected to get much taller. She is starting to thicken up now. Every week her harness needs adjusting. She was 35 lbs last visit - I'd say 40-42 lbs now guessing. I would seriously question a 75lb dog that wasn't very overweight as being APBT. Amstaff maybe. But even then not at 32" LMAO

Yes you measure to "the withers" which is to the top of the shoulder when standing on all 4s. I agree with Lowlife's guesstimate. Its all good. We all learn new stuff everyday.
