Boxer height and weight

19 15:56:42

Question
Good day Ms. Walker I have two male boxer siblings that are now 1 year and two months old. My concern is their height and weight as they both weigh 47 lbs but are very short in stature. They look more like miniature boxers than full size males. i feed them 4lbs of the Oma's pride raw diet food a  day and we walk or run at least 3 miles the vet says they are in great shape but are they ever going to grow or am i stuck with two runt boxers?

Answer
Boxers grow at different rates and don't fully mature until 2-3 years old, so it's hard to say where they'll end up.  47 lbs is a little light for a year-old male, but not excessively so; an average-height mature male should be around 65 lbs. or so (at, again, 2-3 years old).  You mention they're short but don't give their heights (at the withers - shoulders) so it's hard to comment on that aspect.  The Boxer is a medium-sized breed and adult males should only be between 24-25.5" tall.
