i have an English BLM that is now 16 months old. I was wondering if and how much bigger English labs get. This is my third lab but my first English or British lab. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi , its hard to say as they don't all grow at the same rate, but generally speaking , a bitch will reach full height by about 14/16 months and a male at around 18 months . This is just the height , both male and female will continue to fill out and grow muscle for another six months or so ,
Dogs vary so much within "lines", it's impossible to say. In the UK, field line dogs (similar to what you call American) tend to be taller than show line dogs (similar to what you call English) but the breed standard for show dogs in the US is taller than in the UK, and some of your working lines dogs are veritable horses My show-line bitch is slightly shorter than my field lines dogs. She is taller than her mother, who is very petite, but a lot shorter than her father, who (to me) is a monster The best way of knowing how big your dog will be is to look to the parents.
My breeder said 80 lbs for the current one. My last one was about 90. I did have one that was supposed to get to 125lb, but due to mental illness had to be put down at about 90.
