BingBlaze n Skyla Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 hi ive read that its 12 months and ive had people tell me its 9 months all the way up to 18 months so i was wondering if we can finally finish this once and for all and find out what age a husky really does stop growing (height and filling out wise) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raindog Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Sorry - there's no easy answer to this one as different dogs develop at different speeds. We had one boy who was more or less full grown at 6 months. By 8 months he was winning adult working groups at dog shows. Our first sibe, Merlin, on the other hand, was a scrawny teenager until he was about two and a half, when he finally filled out and looked adult.

Sarah Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Suppose it'd depend on the parents as well, and how they grew, maybe you could get in touch with the breeder and find out what the parents were like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laura_3173 Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Lex's parents were massive and i mean massive Lex is only half the size of them lol they jumped up in their cage and i am 5'8 and their paws went over my head. Lex can't quite get to my shoulders yet so he probably has a bit more growing to do yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BingBlaze n Skyla Posted January 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 my boys breeder told me it was 2 yrs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siberian_wolf Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 I agree with raindog it can depend on how they develop. Gizmo is nearly 12months old now and Marley and Bandit is 7 months old and they are all the same height. The only differences are: Marley is much broader around the shoulders and face than Gizmo and Bandit Gizmo is slighly longer in the back than Marley and Bandit I don't think Marley and Bandit is quite fully grown yet and I have a thought that Gizmo will fill out a bit more yet. I dont think there is a deadline for a dog to become fully grown but I would say most husky sized dogs become fully grown at 18 months to 2 years old.
