Question About My Husky Boy

[KathyandKoda]

Hiya   

 

I just have a quick question about my Husky, Koda

 

I am a first time husky owner. I had the opportunity to rescue a pup.  I managed to do some homework before taking him home but am just curious about something!

 

Koda is a black and white, purebred male Siberian Husky and is  7 months old (exactly). He stands at 21 and a half inches at the withers and weighs in at just under 45 pounds. When out on walks, fellow husky owners have commented on his size for his age. I was just wondering what you guys think?

 

Is Koda a bit big for his age or is he more or less on target for a 7 month old male?

 

I have attached a picture of him with my 3 year old Greyhound x German Shepherd who is exactly 26 inches at the shoulder.

 

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated

Huskies usually reach their full height around 7 months , they will grow a small amount after that but he shouldn't get much bigger , I'd say he's pretty spot on for his age :-)

Thanks My vet said at 7 months he is about 80% of his body weight and height but that he is probably due another growth spurt soon O_O

My boy was 57 pounds at a year old (or so the health records I was given show).

 

Right now he is 75 pounds (8 years old), but I have my doubts he's a purebred...probably crossed with a Mal??
