Shady my GSDx Rottie is now just 14 weeks old and weighs 2 stone, was playing with her today and wondering just how big and heavy she will get.
Any ideas?

Probably about seven to eight stone i'm not sure though with her being a cross.

It depends which breed and/or their parents that she takes after. There's no way of telling with a crossbreed.
Oh dear Bev, what a mixture, GSD & Rottie,
Sorry don't have a clue as to how big 'Sandy' will end up, but this I can tell you, it will be a LOT more than two stone.
Don't measure the width, just measure the 'love'.

My aunt has a GSD X Rott and he looks like a newf just slightly smaller (but not much

)
I met a lady when we were out walking yesterday who had two lab x GSD's and they were absolutely huge dogs. I didn't recognise what they were at first until she said it, and they basically had the look of a short coat shepherd, but with long legs and a lab-shaped body. They were lovely dogs, but just huge. My GSD female is 12 weeks and already just over 2 stone - but she is looking to be developing into a really big-boned girl - she has very sturdy knees and big feet and her dad was a big german shpherd to say the least. We were wondering if this 2 stone is just a growth spurt, and that she might slow down and end up being of average size, or if her growth will continue to increase steadily. We are also totally clueless as to what colour her coat will settle on, as she seems to be changing every day, but part of the fun is waiting to see how she turns out - she will always be beautiful to me anyway!!!

I love her to bits and whatever size she is won't change that. I was just curious if anyone else had a similar type that was approx 2 stone at 14 weeks and how big they got.
She has the body of a rottie and ears but the head of her mum who was a black long haired GSD. She has the colouring of her mum (jet black) and the coat of her dad the Rottie.

Hi Bevb
My shepherd was just over 2 stone at that age and he is now 13 mths and a whopping 49kg and still growing! I wouldn't worry too much about how big she gets - it gives you more to cuddle ;-). By the way she sounds absolutely beautiful

There is a lovley GSD cross Rott at our trainign class, sadly she has been docked, which is strange as her Mum was a GSD. Her bosy is all GSD with a more Rottie like head and ears, so the dock looks strange.
Just ensure that she always has a discernible waist, taht you can feel ehr ribs and backbone asily without them being prominent, and she will be a nice weight wahtever her build.

It depends, really - I have a rott X GSD myself (nice choice, by the way! :D lol), she is fully grown at 4 and a half stone, quite a lean dog. She is 3/4 rott, he mum wasn't a massive dog, didn't see her dad though. So it can vary - of course, a lot of GSDs out there are massive, I think the GSD that gave rise to Opi's dad must've been a little one, she is 24" at the shoulder now. Minimum GSD bitch size, and an inch above min rott size.

Yes unfortunatly my girl was docked, think thats so sad, she looks ok with it because of her rottie shape body, but I really don't like needless docking for looks.
Not her fault though and I love her tail or no tail.
