Height / Weight for female ~ 9 months

[elisabeth_00117]

Zefra will be 9 months old on the 15th of this month.

She is about 60lbs, and 22" at the withers. She is very compact and compared to others (including littermates) on the smaller size.

Her mother is on the larger size of the scale and her father is just a tad over the standard (maybe just at it?). The pups from the two (1 litter is a little over 2 years old and the other is Zefra's litter) are on the larger size but still well within standard. Zefra seems to be on the smaller size or the smallest out of everyone.

Everyone is always commenting on her size, saying she is so "tiny". I actually like her size and hope she doesn't get much bigger.

She may be small but she hits like a tone of bricks!

Just curious what other females out of similar lines were at around 9 months old?

Also, what did they mature at?

My breeder thinks she top out at about 65-68lbs and about 24" at maturity. I am not sure, my females have all been from WGSL's and on the larger side, and then there is Stark (within standard for a male but is a mix of working/show lines).

I guess I am just curious.. lol. She is going to be shown and hopefully () earn her SG rating in about 2 months time.

Cant comment now because Malice is 2 months younger than Zefra but I am looking forward to other member's responses and I will post her results in a couple of months.

Sigourney was 60 lbs at 9 months. She is now 20 months and 64 lbs. I LOVE her size. My other 2 girls are 82lbs and 84bls (everyone has a waist). I don't anticipate Sig putting on anymore. She is small and compact and could easily get overweight if I didn't pay attention. She is by far my best eater...loves her meals.

She is the smallest gsd I've ever had and I am so in love with this size. Moses is a lean 105lbs and he looks like a giant next to her.

Thanks MRL, I actually have read that and posted on both threads before.

I will take another look.

I was hoping those with similar lines to Zefra would chime in as well.

Sigourney sounds like my Zefra. She eats everything and anything, super active and is actually very solid. Totally athletic looking and agile.. but she is just small. I really do prefer her size to others I have seen. She is super fast too, going to be fun doing agility with her and fly ball.

When she walks onto the field right now for protection work, people who haven't seen her work before kind of mention how tiny she is for her age and then they watch her take over the helper.

Yep Sig is by far the most active of my pack too. She would be great at agility or flyball if her mom would just get her involved! They truly are quicker and more agile. I agree I think they not only look more athletic but they really are...more along the lines of mals.

Yes, people comment that she is more "Mal-like" at this point than anything else - except in temperament. She is moves like nothing I have seen. For an example, we brought her, another pup of about the same age and my older one to the bush to hike.. she was zipping full out running through and around the trees and hills and cliffs (gave me a heartattack!) but they could not catch her to save their lives.. she is quite fun to watch - will have to get a video next time.

Yes take some video! I would love to see her on the move!

Not sure how clear my camera will be but I am off Sunday and plan on taking them to the bush for some play since training is cancelled that day. Will bring the camera.

I would love to see video of yours too!
