At what age is a dog full grown? OT
It depends what you mean by full-grown. Physically, dogs usually attain
their adult size by 9 months to a year. Mentally, some dogs have an extended adolescent phase (as long as 2-3 years) - terriers, labs and some hounds and will show puppy-like behaviors for a long period of time. I know with our two (bull/lab mix) we saw puppylike behavior well into the second year of life. Then, all of sudden, poof, they calmed down and acted like adults! -- Barbara www.penguintrax.com eBay: pnguintrax Justbeadsenguintrax 0 /O\ "Tink" wrote in message ... Six months? A year? Is it dependent upon the general size of the dog? In other words, does a toy poodle become full grown faster than, say, a sheepdog? And by full grown, I mean size. My wolfhound was full grown size wise at about two years of age, but he remained a puppy all his life. -- Tinkster www.imeltstuff.com Join my Mailing List: |

Yes -- younger dogs are adult before big breeds are. For a great Dane, for instance, it's usually 18 months or more. ~~ Sooz ------- ESBC Dr. Sooz's Bead Links http://airandearth.netfirms.com/soozlinkslist.html One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries. ~ A.
