She'll get as big as her genes dictate. Asking how big she'll get is similar to asking how big people get. The answer for both is It depends.

What did her sire & dam look like? That'll give you an idea.

This place features an embarrassment of riches in terms of info about Rotties. I strongly encourage you to start reading thru all the postings in every Forum, including reading archived material. You'll learn an extraordinary amount.

Genetics, exercise and how much you feed will have a lot to do with how big she gets. The genes may control the height and length, while exercise and food may contribute to the weight. Keep her as lean as possible without being skinny is the best advise I can offer.

generally, Rottie females are within 22"-25" give or take an inch, if you were to make a bell curve most of them would fall within that range. As far as weight, again, most female rotts will fit in between 85lbs-110lbs. Although I have seen many lighter than 85, and a few heavier than 110. The lightest rott I've seen was 60lbs, just a small petite girl.

Have fun w/ the pup. Mine stopped growing in height at one year old; however, he's still filling out and he's just past two years old. I've heard they can continue filling out up to 3 years old, but I don't think that applies to all.
