Talking growth spurts?

Emmitt just turned a year old on the 1st of March. He looks VERY healthy, just very petite! He isn't a big eater, but is VERY energetic. He weighs 47 pounds and is about 23 inches tall at the withers. I realize that boxers usually grow until they are 2-3 years, but his weight has not moved in the last 3-4 months. Is he done growing already? Thanks for your help.

Hi Emmitt -

I doubt that he is done growing just yet. He may be just about done growing upwards (Boxers can grow upwards until about 18 months or so), however he has yet to fill out. Both of my Boxers, and many Boxers in general, will add on another 10-15 lbs during this stage.
