Tid bits: Vet accurately predicts puppy's adult weight. - Page 1

More than a year when I first took my female to the Vet he said she would top out in the 90-95 lb range. I had my doubts because that number was way too high for a female German Shepherd Today ( one day short of her 16 month age ) she weighed in at 87 lbs and the vet assured me that this weight is ideal at this stage/ age. Grew up on Origen LBP and  for last 6 months RAW.

 Does anyone have an opinion on this weight at this age ?

Puppy:

Recent:

Yes.

Veterinarians are wizards .. they should wear pointed hats!!!

You just cannot even be close to accurate with an opinion of a puppy/dogs weight seeing just a picture of them laying down .  Multiple pictures of them standing and from different angles is needed.

If this is a good dog what difference does the weight make.

Makes a difference if one sells them by the pound.

 

Could be she's one of them 'big bones'.

Yet another post of pix of your bitch, talking about whether
her weight is correct or not ... and yet you still photograph
her lying down. Why do you find it impossible to take and
post a picture of her standing up ? If she spends as much
time in the prone position as your photographic record
seems to indicate, Mithuna, she is likely to end up very
fat indeed when older ! Puh-leeeze !

I know a vet who predicted that if we neutered our male GSD at 4 months and fed the amount suggested on the bag of dog food our pup could weigh 135 pounds as an adult.

Gosh, that big and no growth hormones or antibiotics to stimulate oversize? Sounds like a plan.
