THE WEIGHT OF GERMAN SHEPERDS

Question
HI, MY NAME IS ROB AND I GOT A FULL BLOODED GERMAN SHEPERD IN DECEMBER 2003. SHE IS A GREAT DOG AND WE LOVE HER VERY MUCH. SHE WILL BE 6 MONTHS ON THE 19TH OF MAY AND SHE IS WEIGHING RIGHT AT 54LBS. IS THIS A NORMAL WEIGHT FOR A GERMAN SHEPERD?

Answer
HI ROB
THE NORMALS STANDARD I FOLLOW FROM THE GERMANS IS 65 LBS FOR FEMALES LITTLE OVER THAT IS OK.  FULL GROWTH.
MALES AT 90 LBS.  NO MORE.
IF SHE GETS TOO BIG IT MEANS HEARTH AND HIP PROBLEMS.  HOPE YOU GOT A GOOD WARRANTY AS SHE MUST BE AMERICAN BRED?
ANY RAPID GROWTH OR WEIGHT GAIN GO TO ADULT FOOD.  KEEP HER LIGHTLY EXERCISED DAILY, NO JUMPING UNTIL 18 MOS OLD.
