Hiya fellas/ladys

 

when would you say a jrt has reached its full height? i have an jrt just turned 7 months at the end of the week, ive seen other russells that tower over him, just wondering when he will fill out aswell, is there any other stuff that i can give him with his raw chicken to put alittle weight on him?

 

cheers in advance

 

 

Hi jrt,

 

you dont say how tall he is now..?

And at 7 months he's still got a bit to go, and did you see his sire and dam..?

you can you this has a ruff guide line to how he'll turn out , Has for foods white meats fad raw

are prone to give dogs worms, so cooked is best. good luck with him any how.

I would say he will just about have reached his full height by 7mths/8mths, you may get another inch max, he will start to fill outwards now. Terriers physically mature quicker than bigger dogs.

He will probably be at his leggy stage and never look quite right, so dont worry if he is looking gangly, as long as he is not showing loads of ribs or pins. Just feed him as much as he can eat at the moment...chicken is good, vary it with different meats, tripe. You should'nt get worms with chicken as long as it is fresh. If you are concerned about worms, freeze any meat you get for 2wks prior to feeding.

MOLL.

my russell has just turned a year old and grew up until about 11 months, he is now starting to bulk out and muscle up more.

Twelve months up,twelve months out.If he's 16lbs you aint starving him.

I disagree totally with 14 14 as the dogs end up like weeds. A dog should be at least 18lb at that height, I have had heavier but as long as they get there, the extra weight means it can handle what comes at him. Too light and they have no stamina.

 

Your pup will be getting close to normal height but will fill out for another year or so. 16lb should be ok as long as it aint 8 inch tall lol

A 12" 12lb dog would look emaciated..........my bitch is about 12" and 16lb fit. jrt, forget feeding dry food AND meat. Ditch the dry food and concentrate on raw.........
