RE: [pyrnet] Large Breeds - Full Maturity
What
is full maturity in large breed dogs? 1-3 years? I know there are
elements that play into each individual dog....but let's just talk
average.
Does this mean that most heights/weight (approx. 90%) is put
on in the first year but that the 2nd and 3rd years (if applicable) the dog may
continue to put on height and weight?
Put a
mental paper bag over their heads, and sometimes over their body. Most
of the Pyrs I bred would gothrough what we called "the
uglies." They can get
high in the rear, high in the front,
cow-hocked, develop an east west front
that comes in when the chest
develops. Watch them, love them, don't judge
them until they reach their
full maturity. Then when they are of age, take a
really good hard look
at them.
Someone once wrote an article called: "Closet
Pyr" it basically describes
what Carol is writing about.
It can get pretty scary - I swore my boy did
not go
threw this stage HUH! after looking back on his pics - well let's
just say I was humbled!!! LOL
Take care all
