Re: Growth spurts?
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

She sounds just about right to me. Just enjoy watching her grow and take plenty of pics so you can compare then and now

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!
