Wetterhoun weight by age
Typical male and female puppy weight ranges by age, available in lb and kg. Individual puppies may vary.
Most Wetterhoun puppies approach adult weight around 18 months, although individuals may finish earlier or later.
These estimated ranges combine the breed's adult weights with a size-based growth curve. They are not measured breed-specific percentiles or health targets. Month labels are rounded approximations; use the week values for each row. How these weight ranges are calculated
Wetterhoun Growth Stages
Understanding the typical growth stages helps you know what to expect as your Wetterhoun puppy grows.
Neonatal
0–2 weeksPuppies are born with eyes and ears closed, relying entirely on their mother. Rapid weight gain occurs during this period.
Socialization
3–12 weeksEyes and ears open. Puppies begin to explore, play, and learn social behaviors. This is a critical period for development.
Juvenile
3–8 monthsRapid growth continues. Puppies become more independent, start teething, and develop coordination.
Adolescent
8–14 monthsGrowth rate begins to slow. Puppies reach sexual maturity and may test boundaries. Muscle mass develops.
Young Adult
14–18 monthsGrowth is nearly complete. Your puppy is filling out and approaching adult proportions.
Adult
18+ monthsYour puppy has reached their full adult size. Weight should remain relatively stable with proper nutrition.
Wetterhoun FAQ
How much will my Wetterhoun puppy weigh as an adult?
Adult Wetterhouns have unusually tight official figures: males are listed at about 75 lb and females at about 61.7 lb, for an overall breed band of 61.7-75 lb. With single-value standards, weigh regularly and track the trend rather than chasing an exact number.
At what age is a Wetterhoun fully grown?
Most reach adult weight between 14 and 18 months. They grow tall first and fill out later, so a lanky adolescent that still looks unfinished is usually right on schedule.
How accurate is a Wetterhoun puppy weight chart?
It is a useful reference, and the per-sex figures are unusually tight (about 75 lb for males, about 61.7 lb for females). Real puppies still vary, so track the trend over weeks instead of treating either figure as exact.
How much should a Wetterhoun puppy weigh at 12 weeks?
Check the 12-week row in the weight-by-age table above for the estimated range. If your puppy falls well outside that band, re-check the scale, the lb/kg setting, and the age entry first — a single off reading is more common than a truly unusual puppy.
Do male and female Wetterhouns grow differently?
Yes — the standard lists males at about 75 lb and females at about 61.7 lb, so sex matters more here than in most breeds. Use the figure that matches your puppy's sex.
