Notes
- Individual variation of ±10–15% is normal. Two Beagle puppies from the same litter can sit at opposite ends of the 19.7–29.6 lb range at 13 months and both be healthy. The shape of the curve matters more than any single reading: steady gain month over month is the thing to watch, not whether this week matches a chart.
- Medium breeds reach adult weight at around 14 months, which is why this is not one curve for all dogs. Bigger dogs grow for longer, and feeding a large-breed puppy on a small-breed timetable is the most common way owners overshoot.
- At 13 months this puppy still has 1 months of growing left and should gain roughly 0.4 lb over the next month. A month with no gain at this stage is worth a vet call; a month with double the expected gain usually means the food is being measured by eye.
- Weigh on the same scale, same time of day, ideally before a meal. Puppy weights swing by several percent across a day, and comparing a morning weight to an evening one invents a change that never happened.
- Ribs are the better test. You should feel them easily under a thin layer, without pressing. That check works at every age and on every breed, which is more than any chart can claim.
A {giong} at 13 months
24.6 lb is typical, and anything inside 19.7 – 29.6 lb is a healthy weight for this breed at this age.
That is about 99% of an adult {giong}, which averages 25 lb.
Why there is no single puppy growth chart
{giong} is a medium breed, and medium breeds finish growing at around 14 months. Small dogs are done by their first birthday; giant breeds are still filling out well into their second year.
That single fact is why a chart built for one size is wrong for another — and feeding a large-breed puppy on a small-breed timetable is the most common way owners overshoot.
What to expect next month
About 0.4 lb, with 1 months of growing left.
A month with no gain at this stage is worth a phone call to the vet. A month with double the expected gain almost always means the food is being measured by eye rather than weighed.
The ±10–15% nobody prints on the chart
Two puppies from the same litter can sit at opposite ends of the 19.7 – 29.6 lb range and both be perfectly healthy. The shape of the curve matters more than any single reading — steady gain month over month is the thing to watch.
Weigh on the same scale, at the same time of day, before a meal. Puppy weight swings by several percent across a day, and comparing a morning number to an evening one invents a change that never happened.
The test that works at every age
Run your hands along the ribs. You should feel them easily under a thin layer, without pressing.
That check works on every breed and every month of the chart above, which is more than any number can claim.

- Beagle Weight: Under 20 lb or 20–30 lb, Depending on Which Beagle You HaveThere is no single healthy weight for a Beagle, because the breed comes in two height varieties. A 13-inch Beagle should weigh under 20 pounds and a 15-inch Beagle 20 to 30 pounds.
- Bichon Frise Weight: 12 to 18 lb, and Why the Coat Makes It Hard to JudgeA healthy adult Bichon Frise usually weighs 12 to 18 pounds. The breed standard only specifies height, 9½ to 11½ inches at the shoulder, so weight follows from how tall and how solidly built the dog is.
