lurcher123 3 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 (edited) Great looking dog mate, at eight months its good to see its doing the job give him time to mature physically and don't burn him out to young and you will have a great dog for years to come, Good luck. THANKS!!any idea wat height he`ll be Even at the height he is now he has shown great promise as a good worker, A dog will grow till 12 months approx, and fully mature at about 18 - 24 months so i would guess another 2 or 3 inch tts, so give him plenty of time as he might be doing great but his lungs and heart e,c,t need to develop too, Ive seen good dogs burn out if run to hard to young. Keep us informed on his progress, here is a pic of my new pup, 7 months old. Edited January 4, 2009 by lurcher123 Quote Link to post
