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???

Well, Stark will be 6 months old in 5 days (October 10th) and we just got back from the vet to get him weighed.

He weighed in at 60lbs 2ounces, five days shy of 6 months old.

He is of East German Working Lines (father) and West German Show Lines (mother). He is also nice and lean, his muscle is starting to appear, fed a raw diet and extremely active. I am so happy with him!

Thought I would add a picture for reference.

Lex will be 6 months on the 25th, and it's been a few weeks since she was weighed but I estimate her to be around 44 lbs. I think she's gonna be a midget lol

Stark is looking good though!

Here she is a few weeks ago...I think they're very similar looking

Why thanks

Perhaps they are related somehow (considering you're in Canada, I don't imagine they could be closely related lol)

Reading this makes me feel good about how Ruger will probably mature!

He's of Czech working lines and Am. "working" lines (his dam looks like an E. German dog to me though, she has *very* solid bone and straight back).

Ruger got weighed at 12 days shy of 6 mos. and weighed in at 56.4lbs, not ribby, but not a chunky monkey either!

Emoduck, is your girl active & healthy? Does she appear to be free of digestive problems, ie doesn't regularly vomit, stools aren't liquid or excessively loose or abundant? Is she known to be free of worms? Does she eat regularly? Do coat, eyes, skin look good?

Thin, even very thin, in a healthy, active dog isn't at all a bad thing though it will usually be penalized in the show ring. People, including many vets, are so inured to hefty, beefed out chubs that they've often lost sight that thin in & of itself does NOT equate with a lack of health, vigor, athleticism, 'quality' or longevity. In fact thin dogs, including very thin dogs, often live longer, healthier, happier & more productive lives.

IF she has any health problems, including parasites, determine what those problems are & work to resolve them. IF she's simply thin don't worry about it. Many young, healthy animals are naturally thin. Health is not better served by simply piling on weight. Eventually, time takes care of that for most of us...
