My girlfriend and I have a 13 week old girl, and were wondering what she should weigh. we took her to the vet last week and at 12 weeks she only weighed about 12 lbs or 650kg i think. is she small for her age?

If you look at the thread under this one it's very similar. There's really no "size" for Boxers. They're all very different I've seen them anywhere from 40 to 100 pounds so as long as she's healthy for her I wouldn't be concerned.

I hope you mean 6.5kg? 650kg would be HUGE

Anyway, as others will tell you there is so much variation with boxers. Although I have a feeling Kilby was about 6kg at 12 weeks so they seem pretty similar and Kilby is now fully grown and perfect size for the breed.

Kona on the other hand was a monster and I think she was up to around 12kg by the time she was about 4mths (I think).

yeah, i think it was actually 6.43 Kg. i went on google and got the kg to pounds conversion, so i guess she weighs about 14lbs. i just hope she gets big. she's very energetic, and quite muscular for her age. I'm just hoping she will be atleast 60 lbs.

Well I will say much more than 60 is above "breed standard", so I wouldn't necessarily count on much more than that if any.
