How big should a 6-month-old Pit Bull be?

There is a lot of variation within the Pit Bull breed regarding their size and weight. At 6-months-old, a female Pit Bull will likely be around 15 to 30 pounds. Comparatively, a male Pit Bull pup at the same age will be approximately 20 to 35 pounds.

Please remember that these are estimates, and your puppy will grow at their own unique rate.

Will neutering or spaying your Pitbull affect their growth?

Spaying or neutering a puppy early in life can affect your Pitbull’s growth. Without the hormones released during sexual maturity, the solidification of your puppy’s growth plates will be delayed.

Aside from being taller, they are usually leaner and less bulky than dogs that were fixed at a later age.
