I think she looks great....very pretty and feminine girl.

I have a petite GSD and for that, I am thankful. She is a handful, more energy packed into that small body of hers than either of my other two GSDs. She is a convenient size, which I honestly love. I was a little sad to get a male because I knew he would be a big beast lol and I was right (70+ lbs at 9 months)!

Your dog is lovely. She will fill out as she matures, and her coat will develop around her face and neck. Give her time -- she's still in the string bean stage.

I actually prefer a smaller dog. Danni is huge. And I love it, but a smaller crate would be nice

If you're doing ringsport with her, you don't really want a huge dog anyways. At 11 months she has a lot of growing to do. Danni is 14 months and 68lbs but is built like a greyhound. I haven't put any weight on her but she's filled outva lot (and will continue to do so).

Unless you wanted a huge dog, I wouldn't stress.

True, it seems the working lines just have a huge variation in size and shape. They all seem to grow at different rates, too.

Tasha is not an enormous looking dog. She is roughly the size of a male lab, but with a gsd shape. Kind of medium/large.

But she weighs almost eighty pounds at two years old. At eleven months she was in the seventy pound range. I don't know where she hides it all, she must just have a ton of muscle mass. She is almost like a pitty, she looks about 15 pounds lighter than she actually is, and she is incredibly strong for her size.

It might be because she was spayed young, but she really did all of her growth by 11 months. I was expecting her to be bigger since the lines she came from mature slowly. I thought I was going to have a massive dog on my hands! Other than a small growth spurt last summer when she got a little taller, and a little filling out, she's basically the same as she was last year.

There used to be a male in the neighborhood, he was a long coat. He looked huge, he was really tall. But he only weighed 85.
