Well, you can never know. Rubi, my six year old stopped growing at 7 month right after she had her first heat. She weighed around 4 and a half Ibs. Then, almost at one year of age, she grew up all in a spurt an put on 1 1/2 Ibs. I didn't overfed her, she just got bigger. Having said that, I suppose that leaving particularities aside, the sire and dam's weight must play a role. |
