Question
i have a 7 month old female unspayed boxer purebred. she is only 35lbs and when we go to the dog park she is the same size as some of the 4-5 month old boxer pups. is she gonna get bigger or is this normal and she is going to reach her full size?

Answer
All puppies grow at different rates, so I wouldn't be too concerned so long as she's healthy and active, her hips and spine aren't especially prominent, and her ribs aren't hard to find.  A Boxer bitch should be about 50-55 lbs. when full grown; they tend to grow up for the first year, and out for the second, so she's got some time still. :)
