Hi everyone,

I'm starting this thread to 'compare' Haïko's size with other Malinois as they grow.

At 3 months = 15.2kg (approx. 33.5lbs)

At 4 months = 18kg (approx. 39.7lbs)

At 5 months = 23.4kg (approx. 51.6lbs)

At 6 months = 28kg (approx. 61.7lbs / 4st 6lb) and roughly 58cm (23in) - it's hard to tell for sure with a dog that's wriggling all over the place!

His dad was quite big and he takes after him, so we know he's going to be a big lad ^^

As far back as I can remember, my parents' Malinois weighed about 42 lbs and stood 50 cm at the withers at 6 months old.

Females: 44-55 lbs, height 58 cm (+4/-2)

Males: 55-66 lbs, height 62 cm (+4/-2)

He isn't necessarily a crossbreed...

He's about 15 lbs heavier and 3 inches taller than a standard Malinois, even though he's a Malinois cross.

But a Malinois cross with what? That's the big question...

Yeah, I agree with you gwash, but surely the difference can't be that massive either.

Yeah, but still, he's really quite big, isn't he? :/ But then again, if his dad was big too...

Do you know what he's crossed with, sianaroche?

Did you adopt him from the RSPCA?

Oh wow, I used to know a Malinois called Haiko, he was such a cutie ♥ I love that name ♥

Well, at the same time, he isn’t KC registered, so there’s no point comparing him to the Malinois breed standard. I’m not being mean, so please don't take it the wrong way, but there you go.

A 6-month-old Malinois should weigh about 46 lbs and stand roughly 21 inches at the withers....
