Otis is really large then because Jaycee was 5 month's old yesterday and maybe will be 15 pounds. Know for sure when go to the vet on Friday. Jaycee get's her Rabies then and check weight. Did you say Otis had his class 26th if so had did it go. Jaycee first really big class is this Sunday can hardly wait.

Yes, most of their size (95%) IMO is there by 7 months… you might get a 1/4" more between then and 1yr... what you get then is body maturity.... depending on their bone structure.

Buddy is awesome. Very pretty boy and huge.
Interesting…Buddy doesn't look huge to me (height or weight)...he looks to be a good weight for his height...he has a tuck-up and in one of the pics looking down he has a waist and looks like his ribs would be visible when he runs.

That's correct because he's a bit floppy. Karen has a full grown tri female that is only 15 lbs and very beautiful too. Somebody paid out for $3000 (she had to be flown across the US) for her then didn't want her. Karen kept her.

Hmm… interesting... sounds like the person that I heard of in Central California that purchased a "show" prospect (but was from the MN/WI area)... but didn't hear that she was given up... price is the same as what I heard they paid.... Bit over the top.... :confused:

ShelleyIt's my 4th over 34 years. The other 3 are gone from old age. The 3rd died on 4/13 of this year. The most I had at one time was 2.

I remember you saying you had recently lost a Basenji now.
We lost Benji in Feb and i'm hoping to find a pup towards the end of the year.

Ok, so I just weighed Otis and he weighs 21.1 lbs and he will be 5 months on 05/05. I did talk to my " breeder" and he said that in the litter Otis was in, all 4 boys ( all boys litter) were consistantly almost 2 lbs larger once they were weaned off of mom. They were given Royal Canine and we kept that up for a week once we got him, now he is on BARF. He was chunky at 18.9 lbs at 4 month check up, but has since then leaned out and he is looking good, IMO. The breeder doesn't know why this litter got bigger than his others, but thinks it might be because it was smaller (only 4) and all boys. Either way I think my vet is way off, lets hope so.
Rit Jean, he was supposed to have started on monday, but due to the holiday it got bumped up for a week, so we start next monday, and I am excited…come on training..
As far as Buddy being huge, I only meant that in lbs for 7 months, but in the pics he looks amazing. I now know what to expect as far as when Otis will be done growing.
Tanza, thanks for that info, that helps figuring out when why what..lol

Some B's get all their height by 6 months, my Mickii's litter brother (also was named Buddy) was huge at 5 months… everyone thought he was going to be over 20" tall...ggg but then he just stopped growing... and was maybe just a bit over the standard....

Congrats on your new arrival! Buddy looks so sweet. ;) I especially love his full face mask. It makes him unique (I think) because he doesn't have the white stripe running thru to the top of his head. You two look so happy together.
How wonderful to have people in the world like Karen and Chuck of Medfly. I'll look them up and send a donation.
