explosion in Growth

has anyone every owned or known of a dog to suddenly 'explode' in growth (wideness and head size) after the age of 2 1/2years.
thankyou all

 

No a dog usually stops growing around a 1-1 1/2yrs old.

 

Thats not 100% true

 

The We Got From Mr Boudreaux Had A Pin Head Till He Was 2 Then His Head Blew Up Biggest 1 On The Farm Almost

 

swamper when did his head stop growing?

 

my males head didnt grow into him til 2 yrs

 

its still growing lol or its getting wider in the jaws should i say

 

How old is he now swamper?

 

It is quite normal for many pit bulls to go through a "filling out phase" between 15 and 24 months. They will often appear long legged or gangly from 9 to 12 months depending on the family traits carried by your dog and then "explode" as you put it when they approach 2 years.

My dog only gained a little over 4 pounds between 9 and 12 months (77lbs. to 81.7lbs.) but I fully expect him to fill out some more in the next year.

 

might just be my dog then cause he didnt grow any after he hit one and a half years of age.Still about 70lbs and he's 4 now.
