    Nelly is 8 months and seems like she has stops of growing. When do they tend to be full grown? She's still quite slight and slim and has a puppy face. Might she just have a bit of filling out to do and maturing?

    She won't have stopped growing yet, it's just slowed right down. If I remember rightly they don't reach adult height until approx. 12 to 18mths and then can still have some filling out to do.
    Ash who'll be 8mths in a couple of days is just the same, he doesn't look to have grown much at all this last month and like Nelly still looks very puppy like.

    Axel basically stopped putting on weight at 12/13 months old. Only recently has he started filling out and putting on weight again. He's 19 months old now

    Red is 8 months old. She is as big as our other Lab but very slim and with a puppy face. I expect she will grow more and of course fill out during the next year.

    Sam stopped growing , height wise, at around 10/12 months, but didn't stop filling out until around 18 months.

    Stanleys 16 months and still growing.

    Everytime my sister sees him (about a once every 6 weeks) she's always horrified how big he's got in that time :D

    Quinn stopped putting on weight for a couple of months (age 13-15 months) and then started filling out and slowly gaining more weight 15-19 months. She seems to have settled now weight-wise, but people comment frequently about how much "older" and "bigger" she seems (now 20.5 months). I think she will fill out a tiny bit more, but she is fine boned and featured, so will remain petite.
