Hi I'm new here and I just got a GSD a few days ago and was told she turned 6 weeks on the 28th of Dec 2013. I look at her and she seems to small to me but other people till me she looks fine. Her mother stop producing milk at 4 1/2 weeks. I have been looking around and seen the GSD at 6 weeks look alot bigger then her. I put links to her pictures. The vet said she is health and nothing is wrong with her. It just feels like she is not going to grow big like she is suppose too. Also I feel like her ears are to small for some reason. What do you guys think?

A healthy full grown female can weigh as little as 51 pounds. There's no way to tell as she might turn out to be pretty large. Sometimes large pups turn out small and vice versa.

Our male was 3 lbs lighter, and looked like he was smaller framed....at 9 weeks they were 10lbs when we got them....by the time they were 6 months...the male was broader in the chest, shoulders, and his head was double hers...he also out weighed her by 6lbs....at a year old...he definitely looks more like a boy and she looks more dainty. When she is alone, she looks big and feels big when standing on feet or leaning into you for kisses... But when standing next to her brother she looks like a lady. She is now 65-67lbs and is probably as heavy as she will be, we have noticed she is widening a little-her chest, shoulders and bottom but she is mostly head and ears. Her mom was this weight just a little wider looking. Our male is only 7lbs more than her, but he seems to be doing the same widening/or filling out. From what I have read this is a good healthy active weight for them. If you want to see pics of Millie to compare I can post a couple...but from what I read and what the breeder told us the females are normally smaller than the males...

You have a cutie, she is so fluffy and cuddly looking! Be prepared for lots of training and her wanting to join you everywhere you go and everything you do!!!
