How tall and when?

[Angelou]

Our boy is 9 months old, 120lbs, 34" tall. He's HUGE! ")
When will he stop getting taller?

I know he's about average but we're first time Dane owners and WOW!

Yes, sometimes is a bit unbelieveable how fast they grow. Here is a chart with averages for height and weight:

As for how much he's going to grow and when, you might want to contact your breeder and see how his parents and grandparents matured. From what I have heard, danes will do the most growing up to 1 1/2 years old and then fill in until 3, but each dane is different.

Angelou,
Your boy sounds about the same size as my Tyrone was at that age. Now he's 14 mnths, 35" and 140 lbs. His height has seemed to level off and I don't expect him to get much taller, but we figure he'll put on another 40-50lbs over the next year.
The best bet is to find out how big the parents are. It'll give you the best idea, rather than comparing to others. Every dane grows at different rates. Tyrones Dad was 195 lbs and his Mom was 165 so we expect him keep going.
Did you meet the parents?

RE: How tall and when?

I just had Slater weighed and measured today- he is 9 months and ten days old. He weighs 114.5 pounds and is 32 inches tall. He is really big boned though, so I am kind of surprised that he only gained 1.5 pounds since last month. He has definitely grown at elast two inches in height since his last check-up.
