    I haven't been able to find a chart that shows the average growth in terms of height at withers of a developing lab pupper - full grown doggo.

    So i'm going to measure Rusty as he grows but unfortunately I didn't start sooner as he is 15 weeks already.

    OP at full-grown (4 years) is 24 Inches at the withers.
    Buddy at full-grown (8 years) was :( 22 Inches at the withers.

    Rusty at 15 weeks is 17 Inches at the withers.

    I know that it can be difficult to be precise with measuring this, if you don't train a standing stay, so I understand why the information is less available but if you do have a pupper or a doggo withers height please can you let me know?

    I'm sure you're not interested in crossbreeds but my 2 year old lab X collie is 63cm ( 25 inches) at withers and 30.25kg (66 lbs).

    Just thought I'd put it out there in case anyone was thinking (as I did) that a collie cross would result in a smaller dog.

    I too have a lab x collie not sure height but weight at 8.5mths is 29kg. He is more lab than collie. I will check height later.

    Loki was about 26 - 27kg at that age so I think you're going to have a big dog there!

    I had him neutered at 10 months old which I think was too early and may have contributed to his long legs. He's long and deep chested too so I think he probably was always going to be a big lad.

    Our dog Trixie is nearly 27 inches tall at the withers. Huge frame and paws. Weighs 113 lbs. The vet was fat shaming her today, but Trixie is pretty muscular for a female Lab. I guess it's Nutro Weight Management food for now on.

    The two main categories for horse breeds are light and heavy. Light horses are mostly breeds that appear leaner, agile, and are suitable for a wide variety of riding activities. Heavy horses are less suited for things like speed and riding activities, they have much more size and muscle to be powerful and sturdy. Draft is just another word for heavy horses. They are the largest and calmest of the breeds.
