If Pepsi's girth at 10months is 78cm it's not going to grow to over 96cm is it?

It could. But at 10 months they stop growing for the most part. By 12 months she should be her almost adult size

She would need to gain 18cm which now that I am thinking about might actually be doable she will gain chunkiness until about 2y. how probable is her gaining 18cm



I am trying to decide when to get her a guide harness. Sooner means sooner I can get her used to wearing it, desensitise her to it, she is very sensitive to harnesses. At about 1y-1.5y is when I really want to start her harness training and so far the cheapest place that I have found, takes 25-30days to make them. So I would have to buy it a month at least before I want it...

I am looking for second hand ones but most either don't fit, are double the price already then the one new one or are the wrong style

Can you get it with adjustable straps?

Most pups grow height the first year and girth the second and third. Some breeds like boxers don't put on girth until over 5. So it depends on the breed.

girth strap is! One size is 71-96 cm, the next size up is 91-112cm

Unfortunately chest one isn't

I think GSD's are slow to grow but I don't know for sure. If the harness can last for a year or 2, at least then it would be good, it would really not be worth it for only a few months!
