Bigger Than I Thought....


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

No need to catch rabbits - he can just trample them to death :laugh: .

 

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.
