11 m/o - thin on size, but very muscular, will it thicken more on bone until 24 m/o?

luigisayshello

So my Napo has 11m/o, is growing strong, has little fat in him, is actually pretty good, I think he is around 23-25kg, 48 cm tall, but his bones are still very thin compared to his tallness, i wonder, will they grow until he has 2 years, or will he be a beautiful leggy EBT?

I am sure we saw Napo before, but please post a recent photo. Preferably from the side, full body.

Bull Terriers reach their final height around 12 months of age but it's around that time where they truly start filling out. For most Bull Terriers they don't reach their full growth potential until around 24 months. It is common for a 12 month old EBT (puppy) seem as though they are skinny because they haven't matured yet. Now is a good time to provide your Bull Terrier some raw meats and lots of good exercise. He will put on more muscle and mass and fill out over the next 12 months.

luigisayshello

He already has defined muscle all around, from his belly to his legs and chest. My question is more about the bones thickness and about his belly (this type of belly) and the more cut he becomes the more the belly goes up. He is not like this, his belly is thicker a bit, but with this angle.

As for the diet, I'm feeding him more, 3 times a day, +200g each time of TOTW Wild Praire and he transforms everything into energy and muscle lol. As for the raw, he doesn't like it that much, only mashed meat and I can only feed him raw when we go hicking, as he will become electric and he pees soooooo freaking much, that he has to stay outside for the next 5 hours lol. Is it a good time to start giving him some bullymax?

luigisayshello

I have some photos, but they don't make even closely justice to what he his and how he his, probably tomorrow I will take my phone with me and take some pictures.

Looking forward to seeing the photos so I can get get a better idea of his current structure and build.

Too bad your boy doesn't like raw that much.
Feeding Djamila raw for a few months now has really turned me into a "raw-advocate", when it comes to shiny fur, a beautifully streamlined body and the development of muscle.

My personal feeling is that the switch to raw has turned Djamila into a hard body in a literal way. She looks "all muscle" even though she's a girl, feels very firm and she is super energetic.

The only part on her that is a little fatty are her slighly enlarged four rear teats (they always take some time to go back to normal after a heat cycle).

People who stroke her always mention how muscular she feels.

So far I can only recommend trying a raw diet to tone a Bull Terrier, combined with the supplements Steve uses to suggest.

I do to, not too much, as raw is good, but I find that my dog does better in dry (mine is as muscular and lean as you described your baby doll), raw is the best solution for a bunch of situations, alergic dogs, working dogs, go for hikings, summer (raw is ideal for this last ones as it hidrates for a long period of time, it's lighter as a bunch of nutrients that help to energize the dog).

As for the supplements, I wanted to give Nuvet vitamins since my boy arrived, but they aren't available in Europe and that is a bummer, but I was wondering, did anyone tried bullymax? vitamins + dog whey protein, it has good results on apbt's doing gameness, I don't know what it will do to a EBT (as they are naturally/genetically muscular...

@luigisayshello - You do realize that NuVet supplements can be ordered correct?

Is it common for them to not put more weight on after 12 months? Vinny is 26kgs now at 12 months but his father is 3 years and only 28 kgs. Im hoping he will be over 30 but he hasnt put anything on for weeks now!!

BulliesofNC

No it not. Vinny will surely gain more weight and mass over the next 12 months. Sounds like he's going to be bigger than his Dad.

luigisayshello

Why can't I add photos without them being broken? uff This shows?

luigisayshello

luigisayshello

BulliesofNC I've posted new photos, this fella looks exactly the same as when he was 7 months lol

BulliesofNC

He's a great looking Bullie! Thanks for sharing the photos. His structure and weight looks appropriate for his age.

philsergeant

But I think the problem is, from the look on that face, that he needs a lot more kisses.

AHAHAHH he was frustrated because I wouldn't let him eat the piece of chicken that I was holding on my hand and he is a natural on "tuff face", I could sent you a 1000 photos of him while playing, happy, beeing cuddle, he will look always like this, he reminds me kanye west.
