will an 8 month old grow much more?
iv got an 8 month old femal staffy, now she is a nice hight but she isnt very wide, i know they dont fill out till they get older but her sholders are not that far apart and she doesnt have much of a chest when she is sat and you look at her face on, her head is also quite small, will her body size change much in the next few months? i dont mean muscle or fat, id imagine it would take more than a bit of muscle and fat to make a small boned dog look big? (i dont mean will she get taller) she does have a nice sized set of paws and her front legs are fairly well built compaired to the rest of her, my male is 20 months and he is 22kg, he has a big fat head and has a big ribcage (i know males ae bigger)
there a few pictures of her here, its hard to tell how slim built she is by looking at these though

I would say she still has some growing to do yet she is only 8 months old. I saw a female Staffy just this morning in our local woods and she was fully grown and about the size of your male I guess maybe a little smaller.

At 8 months yes I would say she still has a little growing to do and a lot of development.
Moo is still changing, filling out and she's 3 (ish) Xx

it can take up to 3 years for a staffy to become fully developed

Agree, as I said Moo is 3 and still developing!
Up in the first year and out in the second is quite general, they are all different and it depends on there build, exersize etc

Re: will an 8 month old grow much more?
