Hi, I was wondering when a staffy usually reaches adult height? I have a 6 month old bitch who measures 15 inches (38 cm) at the withers and weighs 12.3 kg which according to the breed info I have looked at is within the limits for an adult. So when will she reach her full height? Thanks in advancee/

A puppy is usually considered an adult dog at 12 months old but of course this depends on the dog. They can continue to grow until they are 3 years of age.

Some dogs will have gained their heigh by 6 months, some continue to grow till 12 months.

The growth plates in the wrist joints are a good indication of a dogs growth - if they are still nobbly, he has growing to do, if they are flat, he's done hie height growing.

Anywhere from 6-18 months depending on the dog I believe, in most cases by 12 months they will have more or less reached full adult height. After this they may well fill out as they are still developing until the 2 year point.
Just like humans every dog is different and develops at different rates so these are only rough estimates
