Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen puppy growth: milestones and weight estimates
How fast a Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen puppy grows, illustrative weight estimates and the limits of predicting adult size.
PBGV puppies grow steadily and reach adult height around 10 to 12 months, with full physical maturity at about 14 to 18 months. Their longish body on short legs makes back and joint care worth thinking about from the start.
Avoid encouraging repeated leaps on and off the sofa, and lift young puppies into the car rather than letting them jump. Keep growing dogs lean. Consult a vet if your puppy seems reluctant to move, cries when picked up under the chest, or develops lameness.
