Not hardly!

males grow in height til 2 YEARS old, albeit slowly and not as noticeable after 12-18 months. females grow in height til 18 months but again anything after 12 months is slow. usually you will notice that all of a sudden their rear is higher than the front then one day they even out, that's a growth spurt. Head and body width and maturity don't come til after 3 years and in some lines not til 4 or 5 years.(and My friends female greater Swiss Mtn Dog grew 2 INCHES between 2 years and 3 yearsof age.!)
