| Full Grown? When Sarge got fixed (less than a month ago), he weighed in at 4.6 lbs. He's 7 months old. Is it safe to say he's done growing? I promised my fiance I wouldnt buy more clothes until he was full-grown . I've only had large breed dogs my entire life (ChowChows and Golden Retrievers) and they take about 2 years to be full grown. How about these little guys? Tell me I can go buy all the clothes I want! Lol.

| I did get to buy him a T-shirt to make him feel better when he got neutered, I really hope this doesnt offend anyone, I really think its funny.

| I don't think he is.. I got my baby fixed at 11 months and he has gained a little less than a pound since then. Maybe my baby's just getting fat..

| He might not be done growing yet. I got one of my yorkies when he was 9 mths old and a little under 4 lbs. He is now 2 years old and 7 lbs. He is a little overweight but he also grew a lot in height and length. Here I thought I was getting a little guy. Love, love, love the shirt. Where did you find it? |

| I've been wondering if Bella is done growing at 8 months, she has really gotten taller and longer in the last couple months but probably hasn't really gained much in weight.

| Thanks for all your help everyone. I got the shirt at Spencer's, I don't know if it's a store that they have everywhere or not. I think they have it on their website tho, www.spencersonline.com, just type dog in the search box and they'll come up. (I kinda want the newsprint hoodie) Lol, they have a few shirts for girls too. Like "Looking for a good Stud". Thanks again! Lol.

| BOTH my boys had growth spurts when they were over 15 months old. They got their 2nd rabies vac when in Dec 06, they were born in Sept 05. One was 6.2lbs and the other was 4.6lbs. Now one is 8.5lbs and the other is 5.5lbs. That all happened AFTER 1 year of age! they stopped after that but Id say they didnt stop growing until they were about 18 months old!
