Full of surprises

Well just shows you your dogs can always surprise you. Varg is having a growth spurt, not his head maturing nor the chest, no this is his legs. So what is the surprise in that you are asking, well he is 16 months old this week, may be some breeds continue to grow in height this late but I have not known mine to do so. Thought at first it just looked that way because he is loosing coat, but today I checked him against the others and he has got taller by about an inch. Now an inch is ok, but I hope he jolly well stops now or I shall think I have been sold an Akita. :smt026

We thought the same with rocky (he's 15months) and it definately looks like his back legs have got taller! His front legs are the same at 27" to the withers, but he definately looks taller (unfourtunately I never thougt to measure his back legs before!!)

LOL no one doesn't - I only know because he is now taller than Solli.

Frankie's taller than both my other boys Jackie and hes just turned 12 months

Thing is Nikki, he was the same size as Solli till this last few weeks when he has definitely grown in the legs. Now he did look long in the back but that is now ok, which is good but I hope to goodness he has stopped again or he is going to add being too tall to any other faults that I am aware of and hope no one else notices

Better a well proportioned taller dag than a long one IMO.
Judges have already noticed Frankies size...the Manchester Ch judge was definately concerned...stood tight up against him to measure him against his leg.Then in BP challenge didn't help that he was up against a little 'fluffy' and looked like an elephant!
Heres hoping Frankie doesn't do lie his 1/2 brother and grow any more

Hell be ok if he stops now and there is no way he could be called a fluffy elephant, more likely to be a Giraffe.
