Puppy weight??

Question
Hello, I have two questions.  First off my Olde Victorian Bulldogge is 3 months old we've had it for just over 3 weeks now and he has gained 10 pounds...I know puppies grow fast but is that normal? When we got him at 9 weeks he weighed 15.5 pounds and he weighted in at 25.5 last night!!  Is there some sort of a weight chart out there to make sure that our little (big) guy is not overweight!
Thanks,
Lindsay

Answer
There is not growth chart but you don't want him to grow too fact. This puts a great deal of stress on bones and joints that aren't developed yet.

If you're feeding a large breed formula food, go back to a regular diet puppy food. Let him free exercise as much as he wants, no forced marches though, no rough play with dogs older and bigger than him.

If he's not overweight, that's fine, but he needs to mature.
