Is my 9-month-old Rottweiler's growth and head size okay?

Hello. Yes, Duke looks like a Doberman, & seems to be a good height & weight for a puppy his age. He will grow a bit more & fill out quite a bit as he matures. He is not finished growing. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Hi, thanks for using Petcoach! Fierce is beautiful! based on your pictures she looks like a healthy puppy! The weight of dog is based on it's bone structure. Not all dogs within the same breed will weigh exactly the same. Just like people. Fierce has a lot of growing still to do. She may be a more petite Rotweiller, which is perfectly fine. We want her to be a good body condition, over feeding her could lead to obesity which is a health issue. You want her to just be healthy! I've attached a body condition chart to help you figure out if she is an ideal body condition score. https://oregonvma.org/files/Purina-Dog-Condition-Chart.pdf I hope this eases your mind!

This kind of lump/growth needs to be ideally assessed by your veterinarian to have a definitive and specific answer. Usually there are two ways your vet can do that a part from examining it directly during physical examination. A biopsy can be taken under local or general anesthetic, otherwise a smaller sample through a fine needle can be aspirated (this technique is called FNA= fine needle aspiration). Differentials include skin cysts, infections, benign or more sinister type of tumors. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation (where you can post pictures ) if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

I think this may be a repetition of a previous question... That is absolutely fine, as long as Gohan is appropriately vaccinated and treated for worms and fleas.

The question you are asking is a little unclear. I think you are trying to ask what the average adult size of a German Shepherd is at a particular age. An adult female GSD should reach anywhere from 50-85 pounds depending on breeding lines. Complete growth in large breed dogs is not usually reached until at least 18 months of age, though the majority of their growth has stopped by on year. Based on the photo you have provided and the age, Soska looks to be a very appropriate size at this time.

Height of a dog is completely dependent upon it's breed or mix thereof. Without a picture or type of breed I can't really advise you as to whether or not the dog is big, small, or average for its type. Hope you understand.

Hello. Maria looks adorable. Even within a breed, there can be a wide variety of sizes & shapes. As long as she appears to be eating well, is active & has normal eliminations, she is probably fine. For Maria to reach her full potential, make sure you are feeding her the best quality food you can afford, make sure all of her vaccinations are current & administered at the right times, & that she has excellent parasite protection including checks for intestinal worms, fleas, ticks & heartworms ( if appropriate to your area ).
