weight and height is very suggestive. Minimum height for female AKC 23 inches and 99 pounds UKC 22 1/2 and 99 pounds. Now I have a 15 month that hits minimum still a very nice looking dog and I do show her she's just not a giant. I have her sister from a repeat breeding that is 8 months and she is the same size as my 15 month old. But she also is not going to be a giant. My preference is the shorter more muscular dogs, They both have a lot of growing left to do but they both are very athletic and hyper active and their weight goes up and down. It seems they change from week to week,one week they look thin then the next week they look like they are filling out. Right now my 15 mth old looks bulky and my 8 mth old looks thin,next week it will be the other way around,lol
