At what age to they stop gaining height?

[delila]

I know that this question probably been asked before - but here we go again...

I have a 9 month old female rottweiler, and I was wondering at what age she will top out in height at? She is currently 90 lbs and about 22 to 23 inches tall.

Just wanted to know for future referance...

It is realy hard to say for sure.She still has about one year of growing to do.But after one year the growing slows down.
Selkey had a spurt after 1 year old,and does not over eat,she eats less than what is recomended on the pkg(Nutro n.c.).I thought she was done growing,now at 1 1/2years old,but just found out that her grandfather(fathers,father,Rott)is quite large.
Selket came from a litter of 12(neer the end)with pretty normal sized parents and was not expected to get this big.I'm glad that she just dropped a couple pounds.
Dogs are going to grow to the size they were ment to be,as long as they are not fat and eat properly that's all that matters.

Furst( my male Rottie) just grow in height in the first year ( only a slim puppy with a BIG head). Between one year and the second year his bone structure started to enlarge ( speacilly the chest). But I can tell you that the Big muscular growth only happened between 2 and 3 years!!
I guess they don't all grow in the same way. Muck ( My first male Rottweiler who died at 10 monts) always seemed to me like a 'miniature' Rottweiler, because He had all the shapes (almost) of an adult Rottweiler since Puppy - I guess he would have been an exceptional Adult ( He was a Noris Von Gruntenblick Grandson... so I guess that was in his blood :) )
