It can take up to 3 years for them to fully grow and fill out. I'm not sure about growth spurts but like humans, this is a possibility Smile

They all grow at different rates and usually don't fully grow until 3 years

Growth spurts definitely happen! As a pup Bane was always catching up to a good weight then he would shoot up and look skinny again!
