How long does it take for a Mastiff to be fully grown?
As a large dog, it can take over 3 years for a Mastiff to mature physically.
As a general rule – the smaller a dog is, the faster he will be done growing. On the other hand, the larger and heavier a dog, the longer he grows.
Adult Mastiffs are very large dogs.
Females are 27-32 inches tall and weigh 120-170 pounds. Male Mastiffs can reach a height of 36 inches and weight anywhere between 160 and 220 pounds!
While Mastiffs reach their adult height within the first year of life, they “fill out” in the following 1-2 years. Their chest will get broader and deeper (especially if they are not spayed or neutered). Your Mastiff will also gain a lot of muscle mass.
Interestingly, fawn-colored Mastiffs do not show their final coat color when they are newborn. Not just their size changes – but also their coloring!
