When do german shepherds reach their full height on average?
how much more do you expect a 6-7 month old pup grow in height and weight?

Hi,

This may help, although every dog is different and it depends on bloodlines.

Sangar's chart shows the average weight of average GSDs at one year
old (and as Ibrahim says on the other version of your thred, 12 months
is a good rough guide to when they stop growing, physically);  But the
chart does not cover final height (or whether or not that is within the breed
Standard);  and it doesn't cover whether the dog will fill out more and put
on more weight after  12 months - and many will.  A really hard working dog
that builds muscle will increase its weight;  conversely, spoiled pet dogs
that are overfed will put on more weight too.  It all also depends on the dogs
type and ancestry;  it isn't unusual for people to refer on here to their
(perfectly healthy) dogs that weigh quite a bit more than the 76 pounds /
34 and a half Kilos quoted in the chart.  My own dog  (English-bred from
W German Showlines) is slightly over the top of the Standard at 66.5 cm,
and weighs about 37 kilos at present, and at a younger fitter age (he's
now 10) he used to weigh nearly 39 k - and I don't regard him as a particularly
heavy dog.  I have handled GSDs who weighed eg 44 kilos, again not all
that over tall or overweight.  So its hard to be too precise & specific !
