tomburras 2,729 Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 hi all i was just wondering what sort of age a whippet reaches its full height as mine seems to have slowed down its growth rate at 5 months now, any info greatly appreciated Quote Link to post

Pegandgun on here has got one thats just 12" tts @ 7months old.I have never seen a whippet so small in my life it looks more like an Italian greyhound.Ill try and get a pic of it later and post it up.atb MH Quote Link to post

Lash the food into her, 4 - 7 months are very important for growth in a pup, if their underweight during this period , they may not reach their full potential,, 1 Quote Link to post
