How does your puppy grow?

Puppies go through many stages in the process of reaching their adult forms.  Some say that at eight weeks, puppies have the same physical proportions that they will as adults.  By about 12 weeks (3 months) they start to “fall apart” as different body parts grow at different rates. At around 10 months they are close to their adult sizes and forms but still have only puppy muscles and will continue to fill out until two years of age.

Below are pictures of three dogs from our “cheese” litter born in 2010 by Northwoods Blue Ox and Houston’s Belle’s Choice.   The pictures were taken at eight weeks, 13 weeks and 12 months.
