Growth

[rob190364 2,594]

My pup is 11 months old and still has fairly prominent wrist knuckles. She's only 21 inches but she hasn't grown for a good 2 months.

 

Can they stop growing for all that time and then have a spurt, or will she just always have these knuckles? I expected her wrists to be smooth when fully grown??

 

Just want to make sure she's fully grown before stepping up the exercise.

As you say ..my pup ...and if it still has knuckle its likely to grow some more ..if its going to be a large dog then it can still grow at 18 months of age ..if its small then maybe its nearly finished

Yeah, its just odd that she's not grown for so long though, or if she has its been hardly anything (i.e. 1 cm) in 2 months.

Ah right cool, I think both her parents were around the 23 inch mark so maybe she'll get up to that sort of size, it'd be good if she did....21 inches is just a little bit on the small side.

my young dog who is 11 months stopped at 7 month at 19 inch then at 10month shot up and is now 22 inch tts so yes they do have grow spurts atb troter

How often are you feeding the pup?

Probably should be feeding 3 times a day mate,and that will help to stop growth spurts and give a more even growth pattern.
