White Swiss Shepherd puppy growth: milestones and weight estimates
How fast a White Swiss Shepherd puppy grows, illustrative weight estimates and the limits of predicting adult size.
Puppies grow fast through the first six months, often weighing 18 to 22 kg by then, and reach adult height around 12 to 14 months. Bone and muscle keep developing until about two years. A large-breed puppy food and a lean body help the joints, as rapid growth and excess weight both increase strain on developing hips and elbows.
Many owners are surprised when their puppy's ears stand, flop and stand again between three and six months. This is normal during teething, and most ears settle upright by about seven months. Save jogging, bike running and repeated jumping for after 18 months, when growth plates have closed.
