I have a 8 month old Lab/Pit mix and she weighs 40 pounds and comes just above my knees. Just wondering if the growth starts to taper off at this age or if she will continue to grow some more? Thanks!

Most puppies are usually full grown by 1 1/2 years!
But don't you wish they could stay that puppy size forever!?

This depends on the breed of the dog as larger breeds take longer to grow to their full size but it is normally around 1 1/2 to 2 years. Dogs are still considered to be puppies though until they are about 5 years of age.

That's a big mix! She'll probably continue to grow for you some more too - if she's just 8 months now... She'll begin to fill out in her head and her sides, and she may get a bit taller too - her feet can usually determine a bit of size at times too... Keep working with her now, so that when she does reach full size, she understands how to walk on a leash, the use of the collar, etc....

She will taper off at about 12-18 months. I have a 1 yera old Coackapoo and she is still slowly growing.

I think that may depend a little on the breed, since different breeds can grow at different rates. However I would guess that your puppy is getting close to being done. I think most breeds are done growing by their first birthday.

Most large breeds will not reach their adult size/weight until about 18 months of age. Good luck.

that depends on the breed. a friend of mine used to raise irish wolfhounds which were bred to get HUGE FAST, which also makes that breed have a shorter life-span.
