Answer
Hi Ethan,
Your boxers are too young to tell what they will be when fully grown at two years of age. The weight they are now is a little under weight. Try increasing their daily food intake to four to six cups of food daily. Remember a boxer grows taller the first year of life and then begins to fill out in body mass the second year. If you have seen the parents and grandparents this should give you an idea of what they will be when matured. Your boxers will resemble their grandparents more so than their parents in most cases.
