My pittie is 2 and he’s like 50 pounds. Nowhere near the size of his parents but he’s still my boy.
He could end up being a pocket. My boy was about 60 pounds at 6 months. He’s 8.5 months old now and 90 pounds. I think you can tell by how tall they are if they’re going to be a pocket or not :)
No he’s definitely not a pocket 😂

This is my most recent picture of him. He’s just a big old doofy baby. Our vet said he will probably be anywhere from 100-120 when he’s done growing. I never met his parents so I don’t have anything to really base it off of lol. I have more pics in my profile, but they’re of him a bit younger. People comment on his size wherever we go and are always super shocked when they learn of his age lol
Well I got mine by accident lol. I’m an Uber driver and someone left him in my backseat when he was about 7-8 weeks old.

Nobody knew he would be so big 😂 this is him about 3 days after finding him and weighing in at about 1.5 pounds.
What a cutie!! 🥰 but like, how does someone accidentally leave a puppy behind? Did they have a bunch of puppies and forgot to tally before exiting? I’m so confused 😂
He was pretty sick so it was obvious he was left on purpose. The person who left him I had also picked them up in the projects.(not that everyone from the projects is bad. It’s just a noticeable detail) It was winter time also so they had on a large jacket. This was also a time when a bunch of pitbull puppies were found killed or thrown in dumpsters in my city so I’m almost assuming he could have been one of them. On my over profile it says I’m an animal lover and I rave about my 2 cats so maybe they thought I’d take care of him? I’ll never truly know everything but I’m okay with that. He’s my baby now and forever 💚

My little leg sniffer is pretty skinny. He is 1.9 years old and weighs about 70lbs. He has muscles but not gaining any weight. His parents were 85-95lbs so I still have hope for him.
my girl is about half AB (plus APBT and golden retriever) and 43 pounds at 2 years old. she started out looking like she’d be 60-70 pounds but i am happy with her size now!
They take time to fill out. Make sure you’re feeding well. Dont over-do the feeding but make sure you’re steadily increasing calories. Genetics is a crapshoot sometimes. How big were his parents? A really good guide in my experience is take a look at 6-7 weeks at what the puppies overall structure/build looks like. That’s a good idea of what the finished build will be. Of course it’s not like 100 but it’s a good guage. A low, wide puppy will make a low, wide dog. They will fill out with muscle up to 2 years but you have to feed them well to ensure optimal growth.
Richie when he showed up. Vet said around 6 months, I’ll post a photo of him 6 months later in the comment

Same dog. 37 pounds and 6 months later lol. He weighs 67 pounds now
My pittie is 6 and only 33 lbs. She’s just got a small frame and I’m very careful about managing her weight since she’s already had both of her knees done.
Mine grew like a weed for the first 6 months, like he was very lanky and skinny and then he started to put on muscle after that and now he is 70 pounds lol
He's gorgeous, gonna look like a classic pit in the sense that he's lean and athletic. His paws don't seem like he's gonna get real big, they're not big. He's still got loose skin on top of his head so it's not done growing. Probably gonna be a blocky headed 60-70 lb beautiful dog when all is said and done.

That pattern is amazing 😍
Thank you. That’s my boy Atlas.

this is actually phenominal. I have an american bully xl the runt, he’s 10 mo & 70 lbs. So 90 pounds at 8.5 is def not pocket bully. i’m jealous
No he’s definitely not a pocket 😂 https://preview.redd.it/vu2nlft9jg6d1.jpeg?width=2066&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=312726a581d56b63cf607113151e2668e545d0dc This is my most recent picture of him.

What a sweet angel! I just wanna plant a kiss on his nose lol
He’d love it 💚 all he wants is attention lol
Oh he looks like it! My dream is to get a hippo like this. Beautiful boy

Oh. My. God. SO PRECIOUS! Thank you for taking in the sweet baby. He certainly looks like he’s spoiled. He’s just lucky you were the one to find him
It was totally fate 💚 this dog is literally my best friend and I’d be so lost without him in my life 💚
Also that puppy belly😍

Omg I’m so glad he ended up in your car 🥰🥰
I have a soft spot for runts 🥹
Just love him he’s a gentle soul

my girl is about half AB (plus APBT and golden retriever) and 43 pounds at 2 years old. she started out looking like she’d be 60-70 pounds but i am happy with her size now!
Mine topped out at 65lbs around 2 years old. Short and blocky.
My girl just turned 2, she's 45lbs and free fed. Perfect size for a dog
How big was she at 6 months? And do you have micro, pocket standard? If you don’t mind me asking
My girl is probably about as tall as this handsome fella but she filled out to 55lbs.
My girl was around that when she was that age. Now she's 60lbs at a year and a half.
Omg look at that precious little turkey!! I want to snuggle and smooch! I can babysit if you are near Calgary!!!

He is perfect 💗
ADORABLE 😍
He is adorable 😍
She looks skeleton on his skull too.
Our pittie is right about 8 months and 35-40lbs. He’s not terribly big either. His mama was a 35lb Australian shepherd, so that might be it lol
He is so cute!!
he could mixed with staffordshire that breed tends to be a little taller and leaner
He’ll continue to fill out until about two years old sometimes three but he may not get much taller.
He's adorable 💜💜💜

He’s to cute 🥰 Are you sure he’s 6months??

He get nuetered as a puppy?

Mine loves clothes as well! Mine took to 2 years to come to full size
May be stop putting on stupid farments and feed him a good and good portion diet and exercise him often.
What’s a farment?
Like a stupid thing that on that dog. And. He looks ill/underweight.
Look at his head.
