proper way to measure a dog?

smason · May 11, 2009

I have been looking online but seem to get different opinions as to how to measure a dog and what a german shepherds approx. average size should be at a given age.

our female, is approx. 2 weeks shy of 6 months old.

can anyone tell me how to measure her properly and what the approx. average size is for a 6 mos. female?

thanks

The third post down in the above thread has a diagram on how to measure.

There is also this thread which has an Excel chart that you could download. It gives standard average weights for males/females on the second tab.

Both threads are stickly threads posted near the top in the Development & Socialization section .
