Shilo is about 26 inches and weighs 90lbs. Her sire was HUGE!!!! And her dam was on the larger size for a female as well.

Re: how gsd size?

Havoc is 18 months old and is 26.5 inches and 78 pounds. I expect he is as tall as he will get but will put on 5 or 10 more pounds before he is fully mature.

Kayos is 5 1/2 years old, 23.5 inches and 66 pounds.

Max is almost 10 years old. 28 inches and 90 pounds.

Re: how gsd size?

Riddick is 3yrs old, he stands at 28 1/2 inches tall and weighs 131 lbs. No he isn't overweight just massive, he is very active, and I had the vet look him over to make sure I wasn't making him fat, she said he wasn't.

Rogue is 5 months, I tried to measure her but she thinks it is a game keeps attacking me so I THINK she is almost 20 inches tall, and she weighs around 60 lbs.

Re: how gsd size?

According to the breed standard, the correct size for a GSD is as follows:

Males - 60-65cm, 30-40kg (24-26 inches, 66-88lbs)
Females - 55-60cm, 22-32kg (22-24 inches, 48-71lbs)

Though as you can see by the posts in this thread, many dogs exceed the standard.

Our 2 boys are 25.5", 94lbs and 25", 86lbs

Our 4 girls range from smallest at 22.5", 60lbs to largest at 23.75", 76lbs

He is my big boy! Both his parents were a big size too. He scares so many people, my neighbors always point out how intimidating he looks with his "menacing yellow eyes, and sheer size" (a quote from my next door neighbor) but he really is just a big sweetie pie, not one aggressive bone in his body. He just kept filling out and filling out, he was a late bloomer, the vet said he was done now though. We were concerned though, as we know that he is well over the standard GSD size, but we love him to death even if he doesn't fit the standard bill.

Re: how gsd size?

I have a 3 yr old "Large Medium size" per SV Judge 25" tall High-line Male that is 77 lbs.
And 7 month old next week working-line Female just under 21" & about 50 lbs.
She looks to be on track to be within the standard.

Re: how gsd size?

Kenya is 21/22" and fluctuates between 55-60lbs.

Nikon is only 15 wks and probably close to 35lbs. His mother is on the tall end of the female standard but not a "doggy" bitch. His father has nice heavy bone but is more medium sized for a male. I'm not sure how he will turn out. The bitches first litter was a singleton female. I've seen some of the sire's progeny in person but they are just weeks or months older than Nikon.

Re: how gsd size?

Somebody ask for pics? Here you go! Pics of my "HULK", ha ha! I guess he is a bit monsterous, he is just a big baby to me though.

Hulk with my 12 yr old step son, Jake my stepson, is 4"9 inches tall and weighs about 90lbs, for a size comparison.

I can't seem to find a pic of his whole body at once, he is too big to fit all at once into a camera shot, ha! Totally kidding, that is just poor camera skills on my part, he never really holds still long enough.

Re: how gsd size?

My female is 7, she's a little less than 24" tall and weighs 68 lbs, she has a fine boned willowy frame but she's weighed as much as 87 lbs and still not looked large.

The pup is 6 months, not much shorter than my female (he chews the yardstick so I don't measure him unless he's had a weight check in) and was 64lbs 2 weeks ago. He's a dumptruck, like his father, his mother was a solid boned DDR but not butch looking.

Re: how gsd size?

Kacie, long coat, large boned is 26" and 78# at 3yrs. Onyx just turned 2 and is 27" and 90# both spayed at 6 mos/ measured at the shoulder. Does anyone think the age of speuter has anything to do with size?
