Weight Progress in Bulldog Puppies

Bulldogs should gain weight at a rate of a pound per week during puppyhood.

Owners or breeders should chart a dog’s weight on a daily basis to ensure that the puppy is continuing to grow and gain weight. No weight gain signifies a potential health issue and requires attention by a veterinarian.

According to DogBreedInfo.com, bulldogs produce litters of four to five puppies. When fully grown, this medium-sized breed can weigh up to 55 pounds.

At Birth

At birth, the average bulldog puppy weighs between 10 and 14 ounces, but they may be as small as 5 ounces and as large as 18 ounces.

At eight weeks, the puppy should be approximately 8 pounds in size. However, some dogs may weigh slightly more or slightly less.
