I was just wondering when do pups get to their full height? Cheers Depends on the type of dog, a big dog like a deerhound/grey probably wont reach full height until at least 12 months, smaller types like yours mature faster but all dogs are individual and differ in how quickly they mature, my big dogs have all been titches at six months compared to their final height.

Ossie 11 Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 my saluki x grey was about 21 1/2" when i got him at 7 months, he's finally stopped growing now, and is around 25". all dogs differ, but if she's still getting taller at a year old, start worrying! Quote Link to post

skycat 6,173 Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Stand her up against a wall, make sure she's not crouching, put a straight stick or something across her shoulder blades, make sure its horizontal, mark the wall where it touches, measure up to the mark on the wall!
