Evening everyone,
I adopted my little Pogo three months ago now. Everything is going really well; he's settled in quickly to his new environment and has found his place within our family. He’s a very energetic 5-month-old puppy, and I take him out for walks for between 2 and 3 hours a day.
This afternoon, I took him to the vet for his booster jabs. All is well—he’s in excellent health, which is perfect.
However, my vet thinks he's 'small' for his age and told me he's likely a Miniature American Shepherd. At 5 months old, he only weighs 10kg (about 22 lbs) and isn't very tall at all. When I bought him from the breeder, she told me he'd reach about 35kg (around 5 and a half stone) as an adult... So, I’m a bit confused... Can a dog just have a massive growth spurt? Could the breeder have lied to me?!
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give 🐶
