We've got two cross breed's, both have stopped groewing.

We've got one Collie cross Pappillion, and one Hound Cross Labrador

And this is the Bigger one.
She's just turned 2 today.
And she's still as naghty as ever.

Sorry for the poor quality, I took it on my Webcam.

Wouldn't the 10months be the first major growth spurt?

My cousins German Shepherd at 10months, his head was just about my knee. Now at 3 years old his head it at my hip!

So don't think he's stopped growing yet!

Depends on the dog my 7month old border collie isn't going to get much bigger i don't think, a lot of it can depend on the breeding but usually around 8-12 months 18months for larger breeds. They often fill out a bit more and get less leggy around 12months.
