I weighed billy today and he's about 70lbs give or take an ounce or 2. I was just wondering how heavy your GSD was or is at 6 months???

I'm guessing most of you have this info readily available or perhaps your vets have provided some type of growth chart. But just in case you you haven't seen one, here is one I stumbled across.

Without really scrutinizing the replys and bouncing them of the charts, it just seemed to me like there are a whole lot of German Shepherds rolling around out there :>)

Just teasin.

cesar weighs almost 80 lbs at 6 months. My vet guessing his adult weight at 120, he is not fat but he is huge, his bones are huge and well he's just huge-bigger than his 8 yr old sister already.MY VET SEES nothing wrong with his weight so he may not fit the chart but he is ine for his bone structure.

That chart is the weights for a dog that is going to grow to the proper breed standard. One that will be able to run, jump and herd all day.
When it comes to GSD`s bigger isn`t better.

chase is three weeks short of six months, but he barely weights 50lbs. I don't understand, both his parents are on the large end. I feed him well, but he's not gaining weight. He sure is getting taller He's 21 inches:(

David, i got Cesar from a guy in Detroit, long story. He had both parents and they were stunning and I literally did a u-turn and jumped out of my car to meet them. I thought their temperment was superb as well and he told me the female was pregnant and I knew immediatly that was going to be my next dog. Ironically I met this man on my birthday, we share the same last name & Cesar was born on devil's night while my other GSD was born on Halloween. Coincidence? I think not.Cesar was ment to be mine. On top of all that I named him Cesar after Cesar Millan and his dog parents were named Faroh & Cleopatra so his name fit perfectly. Anyway, who was I to know that Cesar would grow like Maramduke?I never had a male before, he was sizably bigger than all of the dogs in the litter.Wierd thing is even his head looks full grown at 6 months, he looks about 2 yrs old. I am going to have my ex take a roll of pics of Cesar and post them, he is a head turner. I have never gotten so many compliments & inquiries about a dog in my life and I walk dogs for a living. Getting Cesar is akin to winning the lottery.

onyx was six mos. on May 8, Today she was spayed so she weighed in at 64.7 this am ~ I miss her, she is spending the night at the vet...I hope she is doing ok. Kacie, her running mate is missing her too!

Onyx came home today! When she got home, she acted like nothing has happened. Hard to keep her from playing, and they do play hard, so she is under the watchful eye... When they are spayed/neutered,do most dogs put on more weight, versus not alterered?

Nope! Unless you let them. Since we control what they eat and their level of activity to a great degree, we can control their weight! Some have faster metabolisms than others-I have two that have trouble keeping weight on (both altered) and a couple of others who can gain easily.

All altered at different ages and none with weight issues. Except Nina-but that's an activity issue-she's 10 and didn't move a lot for 3 months when I hurt my back. She needs a personal trainer to motivate her!

I weighed my baby girls today. They are just nine months. Whitney weighs 63.5, Tori 66.4, and Heidi 69.6 pounds. Heidi seems a bit over weight, the other two are just right for their size.

I remember the day I weighed Cujo, Babs and Jenna at six months as I stopped at the vet after the photographer, but I can't for the life of me remember.

at 5 months old faith was 60lbs. she will be 6 months in about a week. she has huge bones, she's very massive but energetic and has a high prey drive. she looks perfect for her bone structure. he dad was about 90lbs and mom was 70 so I am imagining she will start slowing down I hope. but shes beautiful but looks like an adult dog already and not a puppy but shes still a great dog.

At six mos. Onyx weighed 64.5 on her spay date. I just had Onyx weighed this a.m. and she will be 8 mos on the 8th of July. She weighed in at 73.4#. I was surprised as she is tall but lean. My long coat who will be two on the 21 of July was 68.6 today, and has such a large head, nose and bone structure, looks bigger, but Onyx is taller. Onyx has a bad hip so I really don't want her to gain anymore weight!! When do they stop growing, gaining, and does the spay(age) make a difference in their growth?
