Blue is nearly 6 months old now. I have just weighed him again and he is 16 kilos. His height to withers is 13 inches. Should he be so big so young or has he nearly completed his growth in relation to his height?? He is defiantly not fat in anyway, he gets regular exercise etc and is happy and healthy. His mum and dad were stocky dogs with very broad heads.
When will he stop growing height wise??? As he hasn't 'filled out' yet will he be classed as overweight??

Our 6 1/2 month old is 15kg and 14 inches. I think the only growth she'll have now is muscle which will give her another inch or so, and maybe a couple of kgs. I hope!

Sounds about right to me! Zeus was similar, he's now 2 and a half and weighs 22kg (very little fat on him).
