German Shepherd Growth ChartSince dog growth differ in terms of genetics and environment, the chart data in the German Shepherd growth chart are approximated.
Puppy Growth ChartA 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. German Shepherd Dog Height & Weight StandardsMales:
Females:
(Length of torso exceeds height at the withers by 10-17%.) Ref.: German Shepherd Dog F.C.I. Standard, MO. 166/23.03.1991/D German Shepherd Growth Chart by Weight & Age
Again, these are approximations and your own puppy growth chart may not absolutely reflect these numbers. If you have any doubt that your puppy is not changing according to the above German Shepherd growth chart, the best thing to do would be to contact your trusted vet. If you are providing adequate exercise and quality dog food, your German Shepherd's dog growth should be normal and she will have no trouble reaching her full potential.
