Growth spurts

At what ages do Rottweilers tend to experience growth spurts?
I am asking because my 6 month old seemed to grow fast up until 5 months then has gained very little weight from 5 months old to 6 months old. She is tall and lanky like I would like her but I was curious when they tend to have growth spurts. She is currently 62 lbs at 6 months old. She was 60 pounds at 5 months old.

I am not concerned at all, she is perfect and very healthy!

Just curious

I believe their first year is a growth spurt, LOL, they go from tiney to tall in a year!

Sorry, I'm not much of a help. I have my first rottie pup and she's 12 weeks. Since I brought her home at 8 weeks, she's been a regular growth spurt. LOL :D

If I recall, right about 5-6 months the growth rate starts slowing down considerably.

I've noticed the most spurts in bitch's after each heat cycle until they are 2 or so. Males between 12- 18 mo.
