The vet said my English Bulldog will be 30lbs full grown?

Hm... I'm not so sure about that.

Dogs, and the larger or more muscular breeds don't stop growing until about 18 months. They usually reach full height at about 12 months & then fill out completely at 18 months. I'm not sure if this goes for English Bulldogs, but I'd imagine it would.

I'd expect her to gain a few more pounds until she's fully grown, and probably weigh 40-50, like her mother :-) I cannot imagine an English Bulldog weighing just 30 pounds!

According to this chart: http://www.bulldoginformation.com/Weight_chart.htm... , a 6 month old Bulldog should weigh around 17 kg (37 lbs). Multiply by 1.4 to get the *approximate* adult weight.

Your vet is correct: 22 x 1.4 = 30.8

"I would LOVE for her to stay a smaller size."

Why? Female bulldogs are supposed to be around 40 lbs.

time for another vet who knows this breed. This breed is fraught with health issues, and your vet will be your best friend, but not this vet. This puppy should get an inch or two taller and yes, 20-25 pounds heavier.

Did you pull up the standards for the breed to see what the standards say?

It is most likely to be because of poor breeding that she is so small. BYBers are so ignorant.
