Does the vet know how to correctly measure? Sally _www.embroiderybysally.org_ (http://www.embroiderybysally.org) I was going to say the same......I had a male who was still growing at 3, he topped at 28", but was very proportional. Not a show dog (he hated showing) just one of our most beloved pets, Mr Rigger. Why is this vet worrying these people about the dogs size? Is that the only thing he has a concern over? Is the dog neutered? If so, was he neutered as a very young pup? Has the dogs blood tested ok? Has he all his teeth? Both testes? Good skin? Good organs function? Any allergies? Those are areas of concern. Maybe this vet doesn't know what normal size is for a GSD. Maybe they need a new vet. <G> Ileana **************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.
