Since dog growth differ in terms of genetics
and
environment, the chart data in the German Shepherd growth chart are
approximated.
A healthy large breed puppy will normally
double her
birth weight during the first week. This is followed by a consistent
weight gain of 5-10%. And moderates to an ultimate weight of around 70
times the puppy's birth weight. Check the puppy
growth chart for an explanation of the different puppy
development stages and puppy growth rate.
German Shepherds normally reach physical
maturity at
18-24 months. Curiously, some Eastern European lines mature more slowly
and do not reach full maturity until 36 months of age. Their growth
rate slows noticeably at 6 months and continues minimally after 12.
Not all German Shepherds will follow the FCI growth chart exactly. How is your pup progressing?
