8 month old GSD-weight?

[Kaska's Mom]

Kaska is 60 lbs, lean and strong @ 7 mo. Very very active.

Kastle is 8 months old and 55 lbs. He is extremely athletic. Plus, I don't think he looks that small for his weight - if that makes sense...here are two pictures of him next to his half-brother, who is 90 lbs. Kastle is the sable, Ike is the bicolor.

I've been searching everywhere (within 200 miles of NC) for a breeder of small standard size GDS's to no avail! I see many oversized dogs, but none that will mature at the small side of breed standard. I'd love to get a male that will be fully mature at 65 lbs. Can anyone help?

That is just outside the low end of the standard for a male. If you want a GSD to be no more than 65 pounds you should consider getting a female, and looking at lines that are generally producing dogs at the lower end of the breed standard. For males that's approximately 66-88 pounds and females from about 48-1/2 to 70-1/2 pounds, as converted from kgs. Halo is 3 years old and right around the midpoint of the standard for a female at 60 pounds.

I don't think you're going to find anyone intentionally breeder UNDERsized GSDs.

I was wondering if I was the only person with a tiny 8 month old!

Ali is 50lbs at 8 months and in perfect body condition..
