How Tall Will this Whippet Be???

[Dan McDonough 560]

He is a little over 5 months (born 6-22-12) and is 18.5 TTS. He was the pup in the litter with the most substantial amount of bone and also the tallest at 4 months old of his siblings.

 

What do you think he will top out at and when?

 

Experience helps and I don't have it.

 

Thanks in advance.

do you know tall its sire and dam are

[Dan McDonough 560]

I purposely left that out because the sire is big and the dam is small.

i cant imagine a kc whippet being bigger than 23 inch max.

[Dan McDonough 560]

Based on the age and current height, what should I expect? When I get a couple of honest guesses I'll let you all in on the height of the sire.

21 inches in Whippet dogs appears to be a popular size,

but you never know, could end up smaller or bigger,

have heard of whippets making 23, always thought this was a bit big for a Whippet, but that is just my opinion.

Sire is 24 tts. That's a fricken giant. Extreamly well built though.

That doesn't sound like a pure Whippet.

 

Cheers.

Very big for a whippet but you can never rule anything out look at the tallest man alive he a bit big for an average man dont ya think.

Highly unlikely. 30" tops. 29" would be top end really.
