Filling out???
Submitted by nickiemt78 on April 20, 2010 - 10:26pmI know that every dog and every line is different, but I was just wondering how long it took before your male dogs were completely filled out? At what age were they pretty much done growing - tall and wide. My puppy is 9 months, and I know that he has a ways to go. Were there any specific ages that you saw your dogs hit significant growth spurts? Were there heads the last thing to fill out?
More articles we recommend:
Our boy didn't stat filling out until
18 months, he is now 2 and still growing outwards
boys keep changing
When Polky turned 2 I thought where did that head come from WOW !! I started showing him and he finished in less than 6 months. Now at 4.5 years old I think he looks even better. Bone takes alot of time to develop. A slow maturing dog is my preference as I think they will not fall apart as quickly. Deej
My boy is 11 months old
I can see many changes in him in the last two months. I was told by the owner of his sire that he won't fully mature until he's about 4.
Filling Out?
They all mature at different times,but in general most mature by 4 - 5 yrs. of age. Height is usually set earlier. I have seen, shown against and been beaten by your boy, he's a very nice dog, still has some maturing to do. You should see growing in the head, and rib in the next 6 to 12 months. Keep at the showing, learn all that you can and above all HAVE FUN!!! Hopefully see you in Syracuse next month.

Re: Filling out???
not really much to go off since I only own one male and he is a pet. But we got him when he was 20 months old. He is almost 5 and he channged up until about 4 years of age. His head and jaw kept growing. Height wise he has stayed the same, alittle more rib..and thats about it. I knew very little about his pedigree when we got him. But I did research it later on to find out that his line was slow maturers.
