What age do gsds stop growing

[LIBRAGIRL]

Morning i was on a walk yesterday and i bumped into 2 gsds owners walking their 4 they asked how old Leo was one of the men said that Leo now at 10mths old wont get a lot bigger which suprised me is that true??

[sami]

No he wont get much bigger if at all, sometimes they fill out a bit more but he should be fully grown by 10 months.

[Moobli]

I have found that usually by around 12 months they have stopped growing upwards but still have plenty of filling out to do

[LindaM]

I think at this age they are like a 'lanky youth' and will mature and broaden/fill out

[wildmoor]

he may grow a couple of cm taller before broading out - that is why I doont measure mine untill they are scored at 13 month and measured at the vets to get an acurate measurement

[LOVEGSD]

They seem to reach their height by 12 months and then fill out after that...x

Well i have noticed that Leo is growing more outwards now rather that upwards looking more bulky very strong boy and a very naughty one yesterday over the park as soon as we pull up in the car he is whining and pushing and jumping like mad with the 2 greyhounds in the back as well its the case of he gets out first!! i get him reasonable calm make him sit and wait then he sees a little dog runnning around off lead that was it barking jumping frothing like mad to get over there i slipped on mud lost my grip and he was gone he isnt at all aggressive just too playful for some dogs he didnt come back on any call lucky enough the lady wasnt scared like some owners she held him till i got over to him she said she was more worried for Leo as her little terrier holds no prisoners if other dogs are too much in this case Leo was too excited and the little one eventually let him know. he has been at gsd training 2 times now and i intend to keep it up he only does it over parks. street walks and other dogs are Ok
