Hi thanks for your answer, well she is 54-55 cm, and her weight is about 26-27 kg and she si 8 months old, her parents are big, both of them, o think she was the last to born. I have pics of her parents and her pics too, but I don’t know how to share hereNothing, really. Genetics dictate how big your pup will be as an adult. Some grow faster and some slower. How big is she and how big were her parents?
It is way to early to say if she will be small or big as she is only 8 months old still a puppy ,and some dogs grow or develope even until 4 years old ,so she has plenty of time. My girl was also a late bloomer if that is the word and every dog is different by their genetics. You could also try to post some pics of her
She's a beautiful girl!
Thank you!!!!She's a beautiful girl!
Thank you!!!!She is very beautiful...sigh...mine was that young once, and she was so small by comparison to her brothers and sisters...And Her Mom and Dad!
And...Then She Grew! And Grew! and Grew! And the runt turned into a very substantial dog who is now 144 pounds! She is 20 lbs overweight now, which really needs to be addressed this summer. Both her parents were massive, but she was the last to go...the runt no one wanted. When I held her in my arms, she became my child...by baby. And home she came to brighten my life.
Love her as she is...size will come, but don't over feed her like I did. It's hard to break the habit...all that mooching! Those eyes, so hard to say "no."
I give her good quality dog food and add some meat, plus sure grow 100 this one hace calcium and colageno, I don’t know if 54 cm and 27 kg is short for a 8 month old cane corse female, and of i have to help her for her finish size at 18 months old, that’s my concern
Thank you so much, I will check those links, and put attention on your recomendationsShe doesn't need the extra calcium. Too much calcium is bad for growing bones. Stick with a food that has the proper calcium to phosphorus ratio, which is usually looks something like this: 1.5% calcium and 0.8% to 1% phosphorus. The calcium to phosphorus ratio should be between 1:1 to 1.3:1. I'll give you a few links about why more calcium isn't better. Please, please read them. Genetics dictate her final size, not supplements.
An excerpt from this article:

Calcium, Phosphorus, and Vitamin D
The recommended range for dietary calcium in large-breed puppies is 0.8% to 1.2% on a dry matter basis.5 Until 6 months of age, the small intestinal tract passively absorbs 70% of total dietary calcium. Additional supplementation of calcium to a balanced diet (eg, dairy, bone meal, over-the-counter supplements) is therefore contraindicated for puppies during this period, as excess calcium will be absorbed. Excess calcium adversely affects growth and skeletal formation and is associated with developmental orthopedic diseases that include osteochondrosis, pansteatitis, wobbler syndrome (cervical spondylomyelopathy), and radius curvus syndrome.
Dietary calcium and phosphorus are considered together and must be provided in a ratio of 1.1:1 to 2:1 to maintain an appropriate hormonal balance. Relative deficiency in phosphorus, although rare, may occur when excess calcium is supplemented, resulting in widening of growth plates and hypophosphatemic rickets.
