My husky is so small...

Question
Hi Marcus, me again. My husky, Maya is 6 months old and seems so small in size to me. In movies, huskies seem larger. Is there something wrong? I assume she is about half 50 - 60 cm in height. Not 100% certain tho. When do huskies stop growing?

Regards

Charlotte

Answer
Sounds normal to me.  Check out http://shca.org/shcahp2c.htm for information about the "standard" for Siberians.  Purebred Sibes are often smaller and lighter than people realize, but generally, females are only to be between 20-22 inches in height (which is only 50-55 cm measured at the shoulder) and 35-50 lbs (15-23 kg).

Normally Sibes will be at their adult weight and height at 24 months, but generally dogs between 8-12 months will be finished growing their frame, and will spend the next year developing muscle and strengthening their bodies.
