Height...anywhere from 14-18 months.

Weight...(except for adding weight for just getting older and/or less active) about 18-30 months

Oooh -- I find height is there by 11 months.

Most of the weight is there too, I find what happens is that the weight gets moved around and turned into muscle til about 2 years in males; less in females. But yes, they will put on a few pounds after a year.

The head in males will take til about 2 years to be fully adult.

Hmm. Ernie right now is 10 months(give or take a couple of weeks) and was a fairly lean 55.3 lbs as of last week(He's more the tall and lean type than the bulky ambully type). Any ideas as to what he'll weight he'll top out at and maintain his trim figure?

BTW, he was neutered at 4 months or so, if that has any effect.

Being neutered that early, he may very well grow a bit taller as it is the male hormones that limit bone growth.

I would say he'll top out at about 60-62 pounds and probably remain lean.
