Question German shepherd dog sizes needed

Hi,

I would be very grateful if any owners of German shepherd dogs on Global Paw can tell me the shoulder heights and weights of their dogs (in cm and kg if possible). I am very interested in the size ranges of dogs and rarely see male/female ranges mentioned in the literature so would love some info from Global Paw owners of this breed!

Note: shoulder height is measured from the base of the foot to the shoulders (withers) when the dog is standing on all fours.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Regards,

Dogs

Well I'll have to get the measured again, I can't remember. Weights are easy though.

8 year old female. 28.5 kg

16 month old female 24.0 kg

from here SV German Shepherd Breed Standard

The SV (German ruling body of the GSD)

Size/weight*

Quote:
Males: Withers height 60 cm to 65 cm; weight 30 kg to 40 kg Females: Withers height 55 cm to 60 cm; weight 22 kg to 32 kg

Thanks so much for your very interesting information and I love your avatar! Is the dog on it one of your own pets? Are the sizes you give for 8 year old female and 16 month old female the sizes of your own pets, and can you tell me the names of these dogs?

Ok,

Zen, in my avatar, is 8. She's 59.7 cm and 28.5kg.

Zoe, also mine is 16 months and 57.2cm and 24 kg.

Both dogs are mine and all pictures are of my dogs as well.
