Lightbulb Boxer sizes - Weight and Height

Hi All,
Have been browsing this forum and noticed that many owners, like myself, are concerned with the size of their beloved at various stages. Of course boxers grow at different rates, which means when we meet a younger boxer who is considerably larger we should not worry... however it seems we all do a bit!
I thought of creating a sort of table which could eventually be placed somewhere on boxerworld to be used more as a comforting statistic rather than a guideline... i serached for such 'averages' in vain so maybe we could create it. As a start I will list my boy's details, hopefully we will have more information in no time... the more varied the age/size entries the better!
(Height is measured from the ground to the withers. i.e. shoulder blade intersection)

Bailey is going to be soooo tiny. She is almost five months old and weighs about 20 pounds. She is my mini boxer. She had parvo and coccidia(sp?) at 6 weeks though so this probably stunted her growth a bit. But it sounds like this is below average for her age. I see three month olds bigger than her.

Dakota was born on Aug 12/04 so she is almost 5 months as well and is about 20-25 lbs very tiny but good to hear she is not the only one. Dakota has never had any health issues, however she was the runt of the litter. I feed her Chicken soup and she eats 3-4 cups a day which is par for her size according to the back of the bag. I can't picture her ever becoming a big dog, but i know she will

Question WOW, Osuna is WAAAY smaller!

Our pup, Osuna is only 2.7lbs at 10 weeks old...she was one of two runts in an 11-pup litter, so we expected her to be small, but...Is there such thing as a miniature Boxer?

Talking 12 Week old baby boy

My "Jackson" just turned 12 weeks old today. He weighs in at 23 pounds. I can't keep him still long enough to measure him though.
