GSD owners - age and weight please Discussions

sorry just seen your post helena about feeling them and not seeing them(ribs) thats what i thought aswell :?

Zara is 7, 24 and 1/2 inches to the withers and a few months ago she was 32kg. But I think she is about 30/31kg now.

I agree that it varies a lot. Casper is 40kg (he's at a good weight - I agree on judging by ribs/waist) and coming up to 5 this December. My last GSD was about 34kg and that was being kept on the very lean side as she had hip dysplasia.

Hannah varies between 28 & 30 kilos & vet says she is perfect, Boyo is about 34 at the moment. When I first got him from rescue he was 22k. I was a bit overzealous in feeding him up & he went to 36k & vet said he was too fat. He is difficult to keep right as he can vary very quickly.

Ailsa is around 35 kgs I would guess, she is 6 this year.
Jake has always been on the lean side and varies between 30 and 32 kgs. He is 4 years old now. They both get a lot of excercise in the garden, they are out running and mooching every day of the year. They are both fit and healthy and I personally wouldn't want to see either of them any bigger. Ailsa has potential hip probs so definitely wouldn't want any more weight on her.
