Size question.

swbaggies

Hi
Arrow is 2 in February and i was wondering when he stops growing in height, as you can see he is going through is skinny adolesent stage

Mickjameslenehan

He should be his full height by now and pretty much most of his filling out. Looking at your photos he looks in ideal physical condition.

swbaggies

thanks. I didnt think he would grow height wise anymore but wasnt sure about round the waist, he is a big eater

JParanee

You want to keep his waist small and his chest deep

Maximum height is normally reached at 12 months old. However, they continue to fill out until around 24 months old.

Exercise and diet would change the bulk, just like in a human body builder.

thanks here he is today playing with some local strays

local strays ? does that one dog have a muzzle handing off of its neck ?

swbaggies

Yea.. Unfortunately the local way of dealing with a biter who is a stray is to muzzle it.. That or some of these dogs are "pets" but they are left to fens for themselves and sleep outside so to all other purposes stray.
These are two puppies but there's thousands

It must be hard for a stray dog to eat with a muzzle on. :-??

swbaggies

Which is why others then go and take them off or like the one in the pic it manages it themselves

corey90260

That's so sad ,where do you live ? I would of had to take the muzzle off of that one .

swbaggies

im a brit living in Thailand. It came off on its own as soo n as they started playing.

Jbird

That doesn’t surprise me for Thailand. I saw crazy stuff there. A muzzled stray who can’t eat wouldn’t surprise me either.

corey90260

Glad the muzzle came off

swbaggies

Enjoying his bone.

Jbird

Can you take the bone off him without a growl?

swbaggies

If I approach he growls and once I approached from behind and he snapped. But once I tell him arrow no he gives it up with a sulk.. That will be gone within 30 mins though
