Growth 2nd year?

My girl is doing great. She's also getting big. She's 24.5 inches tall and 97 pounds now at 10.5 months. Any idea how much more she might grow in height and weight? Breeder said another 20lbs or so and the last 2 things to grow are the cheeks and ribs?!

My cc is going to be 9 mos. old and is about 80 lbs. females don't get as big as males. I would said who knows. I heard they have growth spurts and fill out in different areas. As long as they are healthy.
Beautiful girl you have.

I can't help with how big she will get but I can give an indication of how much they can fill out after a year old. Kryten is an intact Male EM.
The picture with the red collar was taken on his first birthday. The other picture was taken on his 6th birthday.
His neck was the final body part to quit growing.

All 3 of my ccs have grow until they were 3, gandalf especially just when i thought that he was done he grew some more, hes the bigger of the 3 in height, gollom has just turned 3 didnt seem to be filling out then all of a sudden a couple of months ago he bloomed, budcuss whos 5 now seemed to get all his height and filled out at around 2 1/2 so your girl may have more than a year to grow.
By the way shes beautiful,

Typically height wise they are done around a year of age, give or take a bit of time. They however can continue to fill in until approx 3 years of age, the head being one of the final things to fill in.

So what does filling in mean. Bones get thicker? Rib cage? But widens? Or is it just muscle?
