How long does it take for a German Shepherd to be fully grown?

Answer 1

He won't continue to grow in height after about one year in age. However, he may be between two and four when his chest "drops" or fully develops. Until then he'll look like a gangly, scrawny teenager.

Answer 2

Depending on how much you've shaved it could take from a week to look decent again to a month to make it fully grown.

If you shaved it completley you stand the risk that the fur won't grow back as it should do unfortunatley and may end up with a curly or strange looking coat.

Answer 3

As long as it takes

That is the the dumbest response I've read here. If people have nothing constructive or useful why waste te time to type ...In answer to the question The minimum I heard is 1 1/2 years (my vet) or 1-3 years as I've read online...My shepherd appears a bit undersized at 8 months prompting me to research the same question. Both her parents were over 100 pounds so I'm expecting her to take the longer estimate to grow fully. The one thing that all vet and dog experts agree on is that shepherds take a bit longer than other large breeds.

Answer 4

Up to one week if your lucky, two weeks if your dog has a lot of unwanted hair.
