Boxer weight?

[markwantsaboxer]

What is the proper weight range for a Boxer?

I know that the official standard(s) does (do) not mention weight, but I am seeing a whole range of dogs out there.

For instance, if you scroll down to the bottom of this page you will see a dog that is 100 pounds, supposedly from working lines.

I know that this dogbreedinfo.com site has a reputation that makes Wikipedia seem like the word of God, but my point is that I see a big range of Boxer dogs out there in terms of weight, and I don't know what is acceptable.

Perhaps any weight is acceptable as long as the official standard is met?

I think most male boxers that meet standard max out around 75 lbs or so. If memory serves correctly.

That dog is overweight. You can see the rolls of fat hanging at the top of his shoulders. Boxers are a medium size breed (per the standard). And I think in general....females weigh about 50-55 pounds and males can be about 65 - 70 pounds.

When you look at the side view, the boxer should have a clean line from front to back. Any rolls (like the one you see in that pic) would mean the dog is overweight.

I was wondering what the deal was with that dog. I thought that perhaps it was part rhinoceros....

Also - I think the pic's description of a "working" dog and a "show" dog is a bunch of BS....those dogs both just look like classic examples of poor breeding to me.

My first boxer ( male)was about 73-75 lbs and not fat but just more muscular .
My second ( female) was about 67 . But tall and lighter boned .
Edy ( female ) is 53-55 lbs and to me fits the standard much better than my other female .

Bugsy is 25" at the shoulder and he weighs about 63 pounds.  He could stand to lose a couple.

Capone is 24" at the shoulder and is 53 pounds.  He needs to fill out yet as he is still young.

I must have little boys or something - both of mine are about 55 pounds and have never gotten above that (Brody is 3, Riley is 1.5 - so he could grow).

My boy......65 lbs ideal weight

My girl.......61 ideal would be 3-4 lbs less, we are workin on it.

FCI calls for:

Weight : Dogs : over 30 kg(66lbs) when height at withers is ca 60 cm.
Bitches : about 25 kg(55lbs) when height at withers is ca 56 cm.

I have seen quite a few Euro/working line males push 80lbs, 85 being the heaviest. Any more than that and it stops looking like a boxer to me.

A 100lb boxer is a poorly bred one. Working lines or not they lose agility when they are that heavy.

Beas nearly makes out on height and he's around 70#. a few punds more and he's definately pudgey.
