An English Mastiff Puppy Weight Chart For You To Analyze
This information is for those who are planning to start breeding English Mastiffs. Please do not waste time and energy reading this information if you are not intending to breed your English Mastiff. All the material in this article pertains to purebred English Mastiffs being bred correctly, thus, it applies to any type of English Mastiff you want to breed. If you are a new owner of an English Mastiff and want to know more about proper nutrition, please read further. I will discuss the topic of English Mastiff nutrition further in my other articles.
The average weight of English Mastiffs is around eighty-five pounds. Male English Mastiffs average between seventy and eight pounds while female English mauls average somewhere between seventy and one hundred pounds. Male English mauls are fed a diet consisting primarily of meat, whereas female English mauls are fed primarily of vegetable foods. When it comes to food, the amount of protein they should receive is significantly less than females.
If you would like to determine the English Mastiff growth rate, there are two ways you can use it to do so.
One way is to use the chart provided by American Kennel Club and the other way is to use a standard reference weight for dogs in the same breed. The chart provided by American Kennel Club contains data on dog breeds’ average height, head circumference, body length, and coat length. It also has data on the percentage of females and males that fall under each breed.
Using the chart provided by American Kennel Club, you can determine the English Mastiff’s growth rate based on different characteristics of each breed and according to the average weight of each dog breed. For example, if you have a male English Mastiff and it weighs about 18 pounds at the age of one, you can estimate that the puppy will grow to about twenty pounds at the age of one year. If you use the standard reference weight for English Mastiffs available in the kennel club’s database, you will come up with data on only six breeds of mastiff dog breeds.
Besides, you cannot calculate average growth rates when it comes to female dogs. Average growth rates depend on the characteristics of the female dog and the behavior of the breed. You need to gather more information about female Mastiffs before you try to calculate averages.
There are many factors you need to consider when choosing the right English Mastiff puppy weight chart.
Before deciding on the chart, look at the design of the table on which the data is presented. Make sure it is easily understood and that it has a reasonable number of columns. The most common type of table used in these charts is the bar chart. The color of the bars shows the breed and the size of each breed’s greatest chance to gain weight.
Keep in mind that the size of your puppy will not always be proportional to its own adult size. A puppy might look just as big as an adult mastiff dog yet will still be underdeveloped physically. Thus, you should take measurements at different stages of growth. Your English Mastiff puppy weight chart should also include information about the puppy’s body length. The ideal body length of an English Mastiff should be around eight inches at the shoulder and around 18 inches from the hip to its tail. This is how big your dog will be when fully grown.
Your English Mastiff puppy food diet should include meat and carbohydrates.
Good quality commercial dog foods usually provide a mix of meat and vegetables. Make sure you include meat sources like lamb, beef, venison, and chicken with your English Mastiff puppy food diet. On the other hand, your puppy should get carbohydrates from wheat, rice, and oats along with its meat sources. Thus, your puppy’s nutrition should be primarily based on its nutritional needs as opposed to your personal taste.
Last but not least, your English Mastiff puppy weight chart will be most accurate if it lists not just the average weight of puppies but also lists its individual growth rate during different stages of growth. Be aware that weights listed in an English mastiff puppy weight chart might be different from the weights given for reference by a veterinarian. You must understand these differences. Note that adult dogs can differ significantly in terms of growth rate so you should be careful to list your dog’s accurate weight in the appropriate charts.
