How big German shepherds get

Most grown German shepherds weigh 50 to 90 lb, males more than females, which puts them in the large size group. Pupsize follows that group's growth pattern from your own puppy's age and weight, so a bigger or smaller German shepherd gets its own range.

For example, a German shepherd puppy of 22 lb at 12 weeks is about 30% of its grown weight. Grown, it will likely weigh 55 to 92 lb. At 6 months it will likely weigh 37 to 63 lb, and most large dogs finish growing at 12 to 18 months. Buy a 48-inch crate now and use the divider, with a size S harness and a size S collar for today.
