Is This Correct!? Does She Have "The Stripe"?
How tall should my 9 1/2 (almost 10 months) year old purebred German Shepherd Dog stand? I don't know if I'm measuring wrong, but when I measured just now it said 25 inches tall!!? Is that correct!?
 I just want to know. I'm a nerd, and like watching how tall she grows, etc! I love watching puppies grow up!!  Also, does she have the bitch stripe? I was told she does, but I don't know. Here are pictures! Also, just to clarify, Riley is a girl.

I don't know about either one of those things but I just wanted to say that she has a gorgeous coat!

as for height, how are you measuring her?

The height is from the highest point of the withers to the ground. Just measure that spot directly to the ground and you've got the height.
 As for a bitch stripe.... yes, that "salt and pepper" along your girls back is her bitch stripe.

Does that mean she's related to Erich von Gravenwerth(sp), who was a very famous American import? I read on here that if a dog has that wavy bitch stripe they are.

Almost every black and tan female or neutered male I've ever seen had a bitch stripe. If the stripe means they're related to that dog, he was a very busy doggie.

And no... a bitch stripe isn't any way to tell a dogs family history. Only a pedigree is going to tell you that for sure.

I wish there was another way to tell. I think from Germany to America.
