Depends on a lot, genetics, the size of the sire and dam, the amount of bone and natural muscle they have. You cannot generalize in terms of weight for any dog.

With our puppies (which are bred to the ARC Standard), the males normally gain 10 - 11 lbs a month for the first 8-10 months and then the increase is gradual until they are finished growing at 2 - 21/2 years of age. At 18 months your dog is not finished yet, he will still gain weight in terms of muscle development as he matures.
