All BPs grow at different rates, depending on genetics and feeding regimen. My girl was 340g and 29 inches at 9 months, and it was around that time I started to notice some chunky rolls on her sides. As I'm not aiming to breed or "get her up to size" quickly and trying to err on the side that will lead to longevity (greater space between feeding times reduces the stress put upon their organs. BP organs can remain expanded for about 10 days after feeding! wow!), I elected to cut her back a little bit on feeding frequency.

I'm not saying that you or anyone else should do this, this is just my thoughts on things. I want my kiddo to be around as long as possible, and if that means feeding her less and having a more "slow-grown" approach, so be it. She'll be a big girl eventually, but not before she's ready .

On that note, though, making sure body condition is good is more important (to me) than ensuring that Maze is a certain weight at a particular age. She is a year old, and while I cut back her feeding, she still managed to grow very quickly in length! She's 36 inches, and 444g. Dang, girl. lol. That's still 7 inches in 3 months with reduced feedings.

Anyways, I think your girl is beautiful, and I'm one of those nuts that has a google spreadsheet to keep track of her data, kind of like your diary! it's color coded and has a line graph following her weight gain and everything. i'm losing it i swear lmao.
