Dog Size

[Mayfly]

When does a dog usually reach its full size?

Mayfly, From the size of your dog at only 6 months old I believe she will be about 250 pounds give or take. She will probably eat about 8 pounds of food per day. Good luck..... Spinach..

That is close to my estimate.....I was thinking more like 215.

For sure by the time they are 3 years old they will be all filled out but by 2 they should be about as big as they are going to get but they may fill out a little more in the chest and neck areas.

It depends on the breed, but I believe a lab usually reaches it's adult size around a year and a half. At about a year, they will normally reach their adult height and then "fill out" for about another 6-8 months. So, my 1 yr. old, 100lb lab should be about 110 - 120lbs in another 6 mths...

So my nine month old 75 LBS Lab is going to top out around 110??? Holy cow, that boy is going to be a horse...

Not necessarily... my lab grew approx. 10lbs/mth for about the first 7 or 8 months or so and then slowed his rate of growth. he weighed 95 at 10 mths... 100 at a year... so I would say if yours weighs 75 at 9 months, he'll probably top out at 85 or 90. Still not a small dog...
