Tell us about yourself: I have a Dutch shepherd puppy who is my whole world.

is this Normal

Post by Dotson101 »

So my pup is almost 11 months and he weighs 65#. He looks phenomenal. His weight stayed 60# for a couple months and recently he's gained weight pretty quick (within the last few weeks) & he still looks extremely fit. When looking at him from the side you can tell that his hind end is definitely taller than his front end. I'd say it's about a half inch height difference (front to rear) based on guesstimation. Is this normal? I have a feeling it just means that he still hasn't reached his maximum height.

Tell us about yourself: I have always had german shepherds but I am new to dutch shepherds. I hope to get a new pup shortly and look forward to learning and sharing my experience.

I think many working dogs have this feature, back end even or slightly taller than front.
