I got my pup at 11 weeks and he was 6kg. Vet estimated he'd be about 25kg adult weight. His mum's a border collie and his dad is a pack hound, hunting dog (accidental litter rural Ireland) I assumed because of the collie mix he wouldn't be so big but he's just about to be 9 months and is already 33kg. Compared to my border collie he's a beast 😄

I keep reading that they grow until around 18 months but mostly fill out after the first 7/8 months. He's still gaining height too though so just wondering based on others experience is he likely to get much bigger? I genuinely cannot imagine him growing for another 9 months!

I get its kind of a "how long is a piece of string" question but I've only ever adopted adult dogs so the whole "how big an adult are we talking" thing is new to me.
