So are they considered full grown by 18 months and when they say off, does that mean in either direction weighing more or less? That's pretty darn close! |
I have one boy that didn't reach 2 pounds until he was over 4 months old. He should have been in the 3-4 pound range going by the charts. He's right around 7 pounds.
Some can have a late growth spurt and some may chart heavier as a pup but quit growing and turn out small.
I've found, with my dogs at least, that the girls keep filling out up to about 2+ years old. The boys are usually done by about 1 1/2 years.
