When do they stop growing?!!!!

Lily is 4 days shy of her 2nd bday and in the last 6-7 months shes gained 10lbs!!! Not of fat but of muscle. I thought she was going to stay a petite 51lbs. She is filling out and I am not quite sure shes done.

When did your sheepie reach their full weight?

At a yr old, shaved down


2 months ago, Shaved down

Beautiful girl! I would say Maggie and Henry both stopped growing in height by about 18 months but Henry's chest seemed to get broader between 2 and 3 while Maggie stayed a skinny minnie.
I'm not sure lol... girls tend to finish maturing earlier, but my boy Willy is just starting to fill out and he's 3 and a half. He's a BIG boy though, 29 inches tall and lean at about 95 lbs. He's filling out quickly now it seems, widening all over the last couple of months.
We took Angus to the vet on Friday for his annual checkup. When we got him last year he was 70lbs and all bone. You could feel his spine and his ribs....too much of a boney feeling. Even our vet thought he was way too skinny for how tall he is and he is tall! He weighs in at 91 lbs now and that seems to be the ideal weight for him. Even before we adopted him, his records showed his previous vet was concerned about his lack of weight. I think it was stress that prevented him from gaining weight before. Looks like his chest is starting to broaden out slowly. He is 2 years old.
Chewie got more skull, skeletal bone and depth when he was a bit over 3 yrs old. His height never changed, but he weighed more as a result.
Just this past year he deepened and seemed to gain more bone - and he gained 3 pounds. He is still the same condition, just went another step in maturity. (I'm anal and monitor him on a weekly basis for weight and condition - esp with all the sports and activities we do) He's 6 yrs old now.
