Hi,
Around when do they stop growing? I realise this varies a little bit but typically, when are they considered fully grown?
Thank you!
-
I think Ollie stopped growing around 10 -11 months. He certainly hasn't grown any more in height from about 10 months. He was always quite big for his age though, so not sure if this made a difference.
-
Morgan was a very fast grower (like his Dad I was told) and more or less stopped growing at about 6-7 months and is a tall, muscular boy. Hugo grew more slowly and was probably about 9-10 months old but he's quite a small dog.
-
In terms of height I'd say anything between 6 to 9 months would be typical. But it can take up to about 2 years for them to look fully mature in terms of their body shape.

I find they seem to achieve full height at about 6 months then begin to fill out after that and develop more muscle
-
Millie is 11 months old and she hasn't grown or put any weight on for over 2 months. She is small, but surprisingly heavy at 12kg. Must be all muscle.

Henry stopped getting taller at about 8 months. He's still filling out, but is already very muscular at 10 months, weighing in at nearly 15 kg. People keep asking me if he's a worker now he's been clipped for summer.
