Is my husky a good size for his age?

Recommended Posts

Hi guys I’m new here but today we met a 13 week old German shepherd who almost double my size which made me ask myself is my 12 week old husky healthy and a normal size for his age.

he is on a very good diet and eats 2 smaller and 1 large meals a day.

hard to get a decent picture in which you can accurately tell his size but he is roughly a foot tall, thanks

It’s hard to tell. I know mine were bigger than some and I have seen ones that are twice their size.

Here are mine at 3 months. 
I believe she stood a foot tall at that age.

I remember how hard it was to get a picture of them at that age. 🤣

Thanks for getting back to me, looks as though yours may be bigger, lovely pooch by the way, hopefully he will have a growth spurt I know it takes longer in some cases, honestly hoping he’s not the runt that’s all. Thanks again

Mine went through a growing spurt around 4 months, 7 months, and 14 months was the last big growing spurt.

My female was not the runt but was one of the smaller ones.

This is them now a little over 2 years old. DECB608D-DFE9-4273-90E5-E9366BFCF338.thumb.jpeg.37e92b1fecdab20e5b7435f6cdbcb73e.jpeg
 

Did you get yours through a breeder? Did you see mom and dad?

Are you sure he is full breed...looks to me like it has some terrier in him...

From what we have been told by the breeder, the dad was a black and white siberian

and the mum who we saw on the day we picked him up was a full breed grey and white husky. 
 

but I would be inclined to agree with You as he is quite short as of right now. I will probably do an update at 4 months and see how he is by then. Thanks

Saw mum but not dad. We were told by the breeder that it was infact her sisters dog who is our boys dad. Which is supposed to have been a black/white Siberian husky but it’s hard to tell without proof.

seems as though mine could be the runt/a smaller one like you say.

ill update as we go along as I’m also quite interested to find out.
