Hello all,
Just one question to any one that owns a boxer, at what age is a boxer fully grown?
i say  12 months and my wife says 18 months, we a a 12 month old boy who measures 22 and a half inches from the floor to the withers, which one of us is right? i hope its me or i'll never hear the last of it, thanks in advance.

I have been told its 18 months.  Mine is 9 months now, and measures 25 inches to the shoulder. I don't think he'll get much taller, he's a big boy already, but the next few months are when they fill out, muscle-wise.

Your boy will probably not get much taller, but he will continue to fill out. In my   experience most Boxers do not physically mature until around 2 - 2.5 years. This is when they really look like adult Boxers, the head is 'finished' and they have full musculature.

Not experianced in Boxers but most dogs of this size do not mature till they are 2 to 3 years, even toy dogs and not fully mature at 12 months.

Have to say do Boxers ever mature in the head? Don't think so. :)

Jackie - they are so smart that they pretend to be silly, which allows them to try and get away with all sorts :-)

I agree with shadowboxer - glazby managed to eat a whole box of lovely belgium chocolates yesterday that had been put away carefully, but the look on his face when I discovered the empty wrappers was such a picture that he got away with it completely!!

If i were you i keep an eye on him if he's eaten that much chocolate.

To give you a better idea, if you mean fully grown as in height.
Look at the dogs front legs,and what most of us term as knuckle (wrist joint)
if that is still bumpy (ie still has lots of knuckle) then he will still grow in
height until the knuckle 'bump' has all but disappeared.
The Boxer doesn't really mature in body (fill-out) until 2-3 years old and
never really matures in 'grey matter', they are the peter pan of the dog world
even when they have grey faces, they still act like a pup.
