Dutch Shepherd Height/Growth
Hello all just joined to forum. I have an amazing 5 and a half month old Dutch Shepherd. It’s my first Dutchie but have owned GSD and Fostered two Malinois. My boy is growing at an alarming rate. As stated he is 5 and half months and about 24 inches at the withers. I can’t believe how big he is. My questions is as what age do they stop growing in height? At this rate he seems to be on his way to becoming a large Male for the breed. Thanks.

Re: Dutch Shepherd Height/Growth
We will have to assume you have measured him correctly. They will continue to grow in height until they are roughly 9 months old, but will slow down when they reach about 6 months. Based on all of this, it is possible he may reach 27 inches, with the range for males being 24 to 26 inches. I have a female that is also an inch taller than the standard.... I also have another female an inch below the standard. That’s ok as long as the dog is balanced and can move with agility.

Re: Dutch Shepherd Height/Growth
My male Dutchie is around 95 pounds at age 9 so they can get big. He hovered around 75 pounds at age two then just started bulking up by the time he was three.
