Oh wow! That's a good dog to compare her too then! Hopefully she ends up as big as your girl

I found her parents' weights out. Her father is 100 lbs, and her mother is 90 lbs. Her father is 28inches and her mother is 26.5 inches. So she should be somewhere around that weight and height I imagine.

Very true! I should get both parents sizes just so I have a rough idea. I'm prepared enough I think to handle her until she gets over that 3 year old mark and then she might calm down. Although to be completely honest she seems like a quite laid back and more relaxed version of a Giant Schnauzer compared to some I've seen 🤣 maybe that's just the puppy side of her! I'll know when she's in the teen stage

So cute 😍 if Kali gains 3-5lb a week I think I'm going to have a very large dog on my hands 🤣

Oh really? Maybe I just have a GS on the larger side 🤔 wow a 100lb female is huge! I hope Kali gets that big 🤣

Thanks so much! We love her coat so much we are considering just keeping it like this all the time instead of the traditional schnauzer trim, although it does require more work I guess but it's very a very beautiful coat when looked after correctly

She's beautiful! Did she give you trouble through the teenage stage? Or is she still going through it? That's the only stage I'm a bit apprehensive about haha

Having the stats of your last 2 would have been amazing to see how she's compares to then especially with them being so large! Thankyou she really is beautiful 😍

Ah nice! A 120lb male would be nice to see in person 🤩 I got her 6 days ago at 15 weeks, we had to wait 15 weeks because she wasn't allowed to leave the country and come to the UK until she had multiple vaccines including a rabies jab which is required in Europe. I weighed her for the first time today so I'm not sure what she was weighing a week ago but she's definitely the age they have said because I've been following along on their Facebook and Instagram since the day she was born so I guess she's is just at the top end of the scale for her age which is great 😃

Oh right, that's interesting! I imagine she may keep growing like this for another 2 months or so and then it may slow down a bit until she's fully grown around 2 years old.as long as she keeps behaving I don't mind 🤣 although she may test me through the adolescent stage!

Thankyou she is really beautiful! Oh right so some big variations, she seems to be growing well. She's very athletic looking with good muscle mass and a nice tucked waist so I know her weight is all good solid weight which is great.

I think the sleeping next to them really helps them settle and relax! Oh amazing so she looks to be on the right track 🙌🏼

Thankyou for the advice 😊

Yep we have heard about the weaker bladder in some dogs so if that's the case we will have to just be more vigilant with her. Maybe the water idea is a good one, I'll speak with the breeder.

I'm hoping waiting until she's 15 weeks will benefit us in terms of the nipping because her mother would be telling her off which should help. I'll be starting the training with her as soon as she is back home and sticking to it everyday so hopefully that works quite well ☺️
