I was curious about my girl this past weekend when she stood up on her back feet and accidentally put her feet on the wall because they reached over my head (I'm 6' tall), so I took a very amateur measurement of her height and from the ground to the top of her shoulders, she is 26.5". I'm pretty sure she has grown since I got her (got her at 14 months, so now at close to 16 months old.) I think she was malnourished at the shelter/rescue agency, but I'm still a bit surprised she is continuing to grow like that. No real point to this post other than to point out that I love my giant monster. :)

I'll find out her weight when we take our trip to the vet next week. She was allegedly 65 lbs when I got her: I think she's probably closer to 80 now.

Unrelated note, much thanks for the advice on the grain free kibble. I can noticeably tell a difference in her coat since I changed foods a month ago - the lines in her coat are very defined, and she's a really good looking dog if I do say so myself!

She was 71 lbs at the vet on Wednesday. I will not quit my day job to begin guessing dogs' weights at the fair. :smile2:
