Question How Big Will she Get

I have a question for the Boxer Paretns out there. I have a 3 and 1/2 month old fawn felmale boxer. I am not sure how tall she is but I know that she weights 21 lbs. Her momma was 68 lbs and her pappa was 79 lbs. Does anyone have an idea on how big she might get? I look at her and I like that she looks like she is going to get big, but then some people tell me that she will be no bigger than 45 lbs? I guess that I am like really excited to see how big she will get. If anyone has a guess, I would love to hear it! Thanks everybody!

I had someone tell me that my katie would only be about 40lbs at full grown size. she hit that at 6 mo's and is now 80lbs. i would say though that a female would be between 60 and 80. Especially with the size parents she had but that is a guess. Whatever size she ends up, she will still think she is a lap dog!

She will get as big as she is genetically predestined to get. The fact that you know her parents weight should give you a good indication.
