Female German Shepherd Weight

19 17:22:15

Question
My female pup is 7 months old and weighs 70lbs - not fat at all.  I would expect her mature weight to be between 90 -100lbs, does that sound correct?

Thanks.

Answer
It varies, but at 7 months, their growth often levels off.  Check the ends of the leg bones.  If they are still much knobbier than an adult's, the growth plates are still open and it is still growing.  If not, do not expect much more growth.
