The growth for any puppy relies on a number of things: firstly genetics, then nutrition and then environment. It is no longer the norm for people to use growth charts for noting if their puppy is under or over weight/height. The size it will reach will approximate that of its parents and if they were full grown by 1 year then so will your puppy. Your puppy should put on weight every week while not being fat until fully grown ie it looks in proportion, no longer appears like a puppy and starts to be fatter. All giant breed dogs (even mastiff mixes) must be on a large/giant breed diet to slow growth. These dogs a predisposed to getting growth deformities from growing too quickly. Dont worry, your puppy will still reach the size he/she was meant to but just at a rate its body can handle. Have fun with your new puppy.

There is no growth chart for mix breeds but you should get an idea if you can find a chart for giant breed dogs. Your vet may be able to help.
