Ice and Cripton Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 well my girl is 8 months and i was wondering when sibes genrally stop or slow down in height.....i measured my girl just now from the shoulders and she's 22inches but seems to always be growing. according to the books shes maxs out her height range for bitches, will she stop growing? and am i doing it right lol, do i measure from the side of the shoulder or the gap inbetween the two shoulders? do you know what your sibe is?

BingBlaze n Skyla Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 ive heard that they grow till 18 months n fill out till 2yrs my boys breeder told me this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunc Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Both of mine maxed out about 12 months in fact Saskia was even sooner I think you will find if she is 22in already she wont get any bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 hmmmmm, good question, not sure where you would measure from? Raindog may know - he'd have to measure his sibes before showing them. I've not measured Kimba, although now you've mentioned it would be interested to know how tall he is - will have to dig out my tape measure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siberian_wolf Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Ive not measured my boys. They all grew quite quickley upto about 6 months and then they have really slowed down. They are still growing but not really gained much more in height. I would say if she is taller than the maximum breed standard height then she may not grow much more. She wont be considered fully grown until about 2 years. She may stop growing upwards but will probably start to fill out. They measure to the top of the withers (Top of the shoulder). This diagram shows where the withers are but thats about the best I can help you Im affraid. [ATTACH]837.IPB[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
