I'm jumping in here.... your dog is 26 inches...... he will probley go to 27... as My male grew 1 inch between 8mths and 18mths.... and if he does turn out to be 27 , he is in the standerd for the breed... and totally capable of doing what he was bred to do. He will suprise you!
as far as a breeder replacing him? well if it was me I too would say that is NOT a valid reason to return a dog? I would probley just say give me the dog and heres your money , and tell you to use the money to buy someone else's dog.... and tell you that maybe you should look into an older dog so that you would already know the size...
JMHO

I have not had any blood work done as of yet, I am just speculating at this time that there may be something wrong with him from the post I have read here. Fecal scans continually come back negative.
I know that I am not in control of mother nature but I figure breeders should at least be able to roughly gauge the weight and height of pups from particular breedings. Like I said I wanted a dog particularly for working, and should it turns out that he be smaller than most females, then I am definitely not happy with the purchase.
It is a good idea to determine the weight of his litter mates.
He is a little over 26" and is about maybe 65lbs (has been since 8.5 months old).
And Caelestis, if you are a Breeder please tell me the name of your operation so I can stay away from self assuming, pompous, know it all, unfair breeders, who don't stand by the dogs they sell because they don't know what the hell they are doing. |
