My GSD's weight. Female

10.5 weeks - 24 lbs
14 " - 35 lbs
16 " - 40 lbs
17 " - 43 lbs
19 " - 50 lbs

Her mom is 80 lbs and the dad is somewhere around 125 lbs.

You can definitely see the two "growth spurts" here. The one she is currently in is happening just after about 10 adult teeth came in. She is 24 inches tall. She has lost that "hourglass" figure but is starting to muscle out so I'm not going to worry, will give a couple of weeks to see if she gets it back . Just easy exercise and short walks for now.

Vader is 9 weeks and weighed in at 13.6lb. It seems under compared to the graph, but today he does seem particularly tired and down. He has just been wormed again, so I'm hoping this is it and tommorow he might pick up.

I feel kind of sorry for him, because my shifts change alot, so does the different times he might be up, or in the crate.

Perseus a centipede? Ha ha ha! I laughed good on that one! He is a cutie though! A big boy but with such gentle and sweet eyes (for his master/mistress - others, watch out!). I love this thread!

Areli hit 7mos on Wed and she is 74.4lbs (she has been picky about morning feed and playing hard) and 25.75". I think she will top out around 90lbs (lean and active), but not sure how tall... She is proportioned correctly, albeit larger than average. She still has good size knobs on her knees, so growth plates still have more growing to do.... Here is a pic from a couple days ago. Love seeing everyone's furbabies

Areli is jackrabbit fast... Her weight has slowed a bit (which is good!!)... And she hasnt grown any taller for awhile.. Not sure if she will suddenly sprout again, or spend the rest of her growing time in a slow progress. You can see the knobby knees...

I still don't understand why he keeps growing... He is so picky, I have to almost force him to eat. If I'm lucky he will eat 3 cups of food a day =/ but I sure will keep you posted on his size. I think there is one more growth spurt before he hits 1. Which will be Feb 2nd. Hopefully it's not long lol. For fun, I measured him from snout to tail and he is 6.75 feet =O neck and back 41 inch tail 22 inches and head and snout 18.

=O =O how tall is he?? I know he has that awesome stocky bone... More pics please :) I know what you mean though about growing even when being a picky eater, Areli is a skinny bean and doesn't like breakfast all the sudden (although I can tempt her after coercion, lol).. She is almost 26" and I know a growth spurt has to be coming... She isn't anywhere near your boys size (but maybe as cute :) ) but large for a female

He is 29 inch from withers. Tomorrow I'll see if he will let me get his height from the top of his head. He is so silly. Every time he sees me with the tap measure he runs. Lol. I have to idea why, it's just a wimpy plastic thingy. 26 inches is tall for girls. But I figure, go big or go home lol j/k Perseus is skinny to, but tall, long, and a big chest.
First pic :He still thinks he can sit on you lap. 2nd :watching the kids getting off the bus.

Lol! My dogs don't care for the tape measure either, they either want to sit down, lower their heads (which drops the withers) or move when the metal base piece touches their paws... 29" at 9mos....bet he will hit 30" when fully grown.. Is he athletic? Just curious if his size diminishes his drive or athletics
