| Re: Slowing down in growing?
Please keep in mind that bigger is not better in rotties. It is best to keep them on the lean side. At 25-1/2" and 112 pounds (weight Rocco got up to before I became fully aware of weight issues) he was grossly overweight. I've been able to trim him down to a weight ranging between 92-95 pounds and he could probably even stand a little less and maintain a healthy weight. There is more to weight than pounds - is it fat or is it muscle? Watch for a waist line and a good tuck in back. |
