I don't know much about the charateristics of a pitbull and when they *bulk* up. I hope you are teaching him to be gentle and loving and I hope someday that the pitbull will loose their stigma in society and will be looked at as a good choice for a pet.

Here is the link to the AKC standard:

Seems to be no real consensus of a standard for pits. A general rule of thumb is that you multiply what a dog weighs at 4 months by 2 and that's about how much they will be at maturity. My best friend has a 2 year old pit and she's only about 45 lbs, but solid muscle. But then you look in the back of Dog Fancy and there are GIANT pit bulls. People should remember that APBT are a MEDIUM sized dog. Those huge dogs almost always have something else mixed in somewhere along their lines.

yeah i would never train her to be mean, she lovs people to death and i wouldnt have her any other way, maybe a little less hyper lol
