Umm.. I am not really sure how much your pup should weigh. I went to ask.com and typed in "weight of a five month old German Shepherd" and it didnt come up with much.. It did bring something up where someone said her 5 month old German Shepherd was 18 pounds! There were people telling her that there German Shepherds were 47 and 53 pounds at 5 1/2 months. It sounds like 35 pounds might be a little small though. I have 2 American Pit Bull Terriers. APBTs are a smaller breed than German Shepherds and my youngest is 4 months and she is about 30 pounds. But, each dog is different and I dont know much about German Shepherds so I really couldnt tell you for sure. If you are concerned I would suggest you take her to the vet. Good luck! : )

Oh and I am pretty sure that most dogs stop growing around 2 years of age. I think it just depends on the breed and the individual dog though.. I was told that my APBTs will stop getting taller around a year old but, they should keep gaining weight and muscle up untill they are about 2 or 3. But, like I said, I really dont know for sure what to tell you. Again, you should ask your vet.

Taht depends on the dog that's like saying I have an 11 year old how much wilol she weigh?
You need to ask the breeder about her background and what are the average size of earlier pups.
if you got from a pet shop who knows
I know shepherds full grown some are as little as 65 pounds and I know some are 125 ponds and these are all good weight.
As far as when they stop growing it's about 2 years
this is a;ll what you should have found out before getting.

I'm sorry But I don't really know the answer to that, but I have a female GS and she's under weight even though we always give her extra food. One of the reasons is because she has something like doggie ashtma. And some dogs just grow faster and quicker.

But, I'm pretty sure they stop growing around 2 years old or so.

Weight depends on diet and exercise, so it's going to vary from one dog to another. A medium sized dog will continue to develope and grow until 18-24 months. Females usually reach peak at about 18 months!
