Kinai just turned one on July 21st and I've heard quite a few comments on him being thinner. Being A male I figured he'd be a bit bulkier by now but, I just wanted to ask if anyone here could give me a bit more of and educated opinion. His father was 60lbs but I have weighed him recently, if that would help just let me know. Thanks in advance.

Pic won't load for me

Devin, there are two threads that relate specifically to what a members dog weigh at what age.

Take a look at this thread
and then if you're not bleary eyed try this thread as well.

That'll give you an idea of what other people dogs weighed at various ages.

Maybe now's a good time to point out that Huskies grow up during their first year or so and then grow out during the next 6 - 12 months. In other words, don't expect your boy to be full grown until he's about two years old or so.

On that note, for some reason, most people seem to think that 1) Huskies are big dogs - they're not, generally they're a good sized medium dog and 2) because of 1) think they should be heavy dogs, generally they're not.

Because most people perceptions (including many vets) are misconceptions they have to say that 'your dog is small for a Husky!' when, in fact, the smaller lankier Husky is more the norm.

Thanks, I wan't expecting him to be large I was more so just looking for opinions from those who knew more than me. Also if you right click the image and open in new tab it should work. If not, then I apologize for that.

Also I just weighed him and at 1 year 7 days he is currently 33 lbs

Hmm, my girl is 5 months old and she's 30lbs.. her father was quite large though.

Body condition wise he looks perfect. Structurally he does not appear he will be a 'large' male, and at 33 lbs he's well under what you'd expect for a male. I would caution you to compare parents to your pup as parents alone do not determine size. Overall I wouldn't fret, it's just who he is.

Cool and thanks all, he certainly produces enough fur for 10 huskies
