Both of mine had growth spurts between 10 and 12 months- they are related, so I guess it is in the lines. I wouldn't start limiting food right off the bat after surgery- make sure your puppy remains active and gets plenty of exercise and keep an eye on his body condition not just his weight. You want to make sure he doesn't become overweight, but you don't want to restrict food just to keep a specific number on the scale- if he is meant to grow a little more, he should be allowed to do so.
