Bulldog Weight Chart by Age

An adult male Bulldog weighs about 50 lb (22.7 kg) and an adult female about 40 lb (18.1 kg), according to the American Kennel Club breed standard.

At 3 months a typical male weighs 19.7 lb (8.9 kg) and a typical female 17.1 lb (7.8 kg). Half of males weigh 14.5–25.9 lb (6.6–11.7 kg), and half of females 12.0–23.6 lb (5.4–10.7 kg). A typical puppy is around 35% of its adult weight at this age.

At 4 months a typical male weighs 28.1 lb (12.7 kg) and a typical female 23.8 lb (10.8 kg). Half of males weigh 21.3–36.0 lb (9.7–16.3 kg), and half of females 17.1–32.0 lb (7.8–14.5 kg). A typical puppy is about 51% of the way to adult weight.

At 6 months a typical male weighs 40.5 lb (18.4 kg) and a typical female 33.4 lb (15.1 kg). Half of males weigh 31.2–51.6 lb (14.2–23.4 kg), and half of females 24.6–44.4 lb (11.2–20.2 kg).

At 12 months a typical male weighs 50.9 lb (23.1 kg) and a typical female 42.3 lb (19.2 kg). Half of males weigh 39.2–65.1 lb (17.8–29.5 kg), and half of females 31.0–56.6 lb (14.1–25.7 kg). That is about 92% of final weight, with the rest filling in over the following months.

Dogs of this size that were weighed both as puppies and as adults ended up at about 2.1 times their 4-month weight, in records from US veterinary clinics. The calculator on the home page uses those records for the puppy’s own age and weight, and returns a range rather than one number.

Height is usually settled first; weight keeps filling in for longer. On the growth curve for its size, a Bulldog stays above 95% of adult weight from about 14 months, and the last 8% after its first birthday comes on slowly.

Yes, and by enough to matter. Adult males run about 50 lb (22.7 kg) against about 40 lb (18.1 kg) for females. Comparing a female against a chart that does not separate the sexes will usually make her look underweight when she is not.

A medium breed, defined by adult weight. That classification determines the growth curve used here: veterinary research shows dogs of similar adult size grow at similar rates regardless of breed.

Not necessarily: 1 in 10 healthy puppies weighs less than the lightest figure in the table. What matters more is the trend. A puppy that drifts from one part of the range to a lower one is worth checking: look at its body condition and ask your vet about its diet. A single low reading is not a diagnosis.

Body condition tells you more than the scale. You should be able to feel the ribs under a thin layer of fat without pressing, see a waist from above, and see the belly tuck up from the side. A dog can sit inside the weight range and still carry too much fat.

Most published charts come from one breeder’s litters or from unsourced rules of thumb, and many do not say whether the figures are for males, females or both. The ranges here come from centile curves fitted to millions of veterinary bodyweight records, scaled to the AKC adult range, and split by sex.

The research behind these curves found neutering shifted growth trajectory only slightly, by less than the variation between individual dogs, so separate curves were not needed. Neutering is associated with a higher chance of becoming overweight in adulthood, which is a body condition question rather than a growth chart one.

An adult Bulldog weighs 22.7 kg for males and 18.1 kg for females under the American Kennel Club standard. A typical male weighs 8.9 kg at 3 months, 18.4 kg at 6 months and 23.1 kg at 12 months; a typical female 7.8 kg, 15.1 kg and 19.2 kg. The charts above give every month in kilograms, with a switch to pounds.

The American Kennel Club standard gives females about 40 lb (18.1 kg). A typical female Bulldog weighs 23.8 lb at 4 months, 33.4 lb at 6 months and 42.3 lb at 12 months. Weight stays above 95% of the adult figure from about 14 months. The female chart above gives every month.

The American Kennel Club standard gives males about 50 lb (22.7 kg). A typical male Bulldog weighs 28.1 lb at 4 months, 40.5 lb at 6 months and 50.9 lb at 12 months. Weight stays above 95% of the adult figure from about 14 months. The male chart above gives every month.
