height as in average height from one month to a year or just the standard size of an adult dog?

There is no comparable height chart for the breed that I know of. What I can tell you is that sometimes puppy size can fool you. IF, for example, you have a pup who is very small, it may well go through a growth period or several where suddenly it catches up with its litter mates in size. The best thing to do is know the proper weight, how to assess proper weight for a given size, know the height standard for males and females and go from there and extrapolate for the adult sized male or female during life stages. Experienced breeders can tell you whether a given pup or dog is under or over weight or too small or too tall.

I stressed out when I saw the weight growth chart becasue my little Sita was always considerable smaller then every other dog for her age in our club and her weight was less then the chart. She eventually grew to be 21 3/4" inches and 53 lbs...... Guess I worried for nothing.

The chart above originated with a knowledgeable breeder based on his experience with a few litters. It was copied from his web site and pasted in a bunch of others, including the one above, without proper attribution. In any case it is simply a rough guide, according to his experience. All dogs are different and again, knowing the specifics of what the standard is can be useful in extrapolating. However, as I stated, some large pups end up normal or small, while others who seem small end up normal or even large. There are no cut and dried formulas, especially because there is no real data collected except for a handful of examples. In such a case, the data is essentially useless and may be way off base. I do not have my copy of the Willis book handy, but I think he may have had some guidelines based on good and plentiful data.
