Taz-n-Lily 62 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) After having my dog weighed at the vets last week and finding that he was around 70lbs, I was in personal communication with another member on here (cheers Trev) and he mentioned "chunky", which for a deerhound still growing is ok - but I was a bit niggled, especially since my dog is only 25-1/2" tts. So I looked up heights and weights of purebred deerhounds. Hmmmmm - so I measured him again last night - turns out he's 27-1/2" tts. He'll be two and a half end of March. Will he get much bigger do you think? He's deerhound X grey X ? second or third generation and still changing shape. Edited February 19, 2013 by Taz-n-Lily Quote Link to post
TAXI DRIVER 549 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Got any photos of him from the side? Quote Link to post
BrianSteven72 369 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 He wont get any taller but he will still change shape depending on how much you feed him or run him if he gets fitter or fatter ! 2 Quote Link to post
LaraCroft 863 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 At 1 year, my lad was 25" TTS, at 2y he was 31" TTS, and finally settled at 34" TTS - he was a good 3 before he seemed to actually settle into a final "shape" but was a very very slow developer all round. 1 Quote Link to post

No need to catch rabbits - he can just trample them to death . Thanks LC - I have a feeling Taz may grow a little more before settling - he's still very much a pup. Taxi Driver - this is him nine months ago. Edited February 19, 2013 by Taz-n-Lily 1 Quote Link to post
