Puppy Growth

typically by 11 months they are pretty well set they may continue to gain 1/4 -1/2 inch after that but they are mostly set by than....They say dogs can settle back size wise by age 2....although I have yet to really see that..

Justice settled almost a whole inch. He was very slab sided and straight shoulder at one point. He wasn't that way at 8 weeks. It was so bad I wanted to neuter him. Then his chest widen and his shoulders dropped and he went from almost 16" to 15" sometime between 9 months(when he quite growing up) and 18 months.

Ember dropped 1/2" and Diva 1/4". It seems quite common in their bitch line. Diva has/had the best shoulder lay back(front)of all my dogs from the time she was small and I think that is why she didn't drop that much.

Ember stopped growing at 6 months and Diva at 9 months like Justice. Pike stopped at 10 months and dropped 1/2". Diva's mom, Hope stopped growing at 6 months like Ember and dropped 1/2". Grizz stopped at 11 months and didn't drop any height. Grizz is totally different lines than the other 5 who are all related.
