 | |  | | Have not had her weighed again in some time, last weigh in was around 9 months and 52lbs. Well, I've disproven the vet! She is around 25" tall, and I've come to the conclusion, the growth rate of this breed is like a greyhound. They grow "UP", then out, lol. You can already see her filling in at places, but the other two I know didn't fill in till around 2 and after. I was shocked at the b*tch when I saw her from a short break between 2 1/2 and 3 years old, it is like she popped over night. They are not only slow to mature in temperament, but heft. Basically, I've just come to not listen to half what my vet says, this is their first of this breed and in retrospect you can't even begain to compare them to GSD's or the like.
Also to add, at the last AKC show I saw two new Beauceron's. One was very much more mature looking and acting than the other yet, she was the baby of the two! The older one didn't actually even look or act as mature as my girl for being born the same year. I can only conclude to the instance it had something to do with the different dams (they had the same sire). And I also must suspect with the very young age of the mature looking b*tch, she very well may wind up being over done at full adulthood, something I tried to steer away from with my desire for an athletic preformance dog.
