I have a border collie who weighs in about 52 pounds and he's 6 months old. HIs mom was only 35 pounds and his dad 45 pounds. He doesn't seem overweight or anything, but he is significantly bigger than his parents. I was wondering when do border collie puppies stop growing?

They don't have a stop time, but most dogs stop growing around a year of age.

Except for large and giant breeds it takes htem much longer.

I don't know but my pup is 7 months and I hope he stops soon!! He is already 65lbs which is 10 over the average for his breed and he's not fat. :S

Remeber that muscle weighs more than fat , too. Just because your pup is over the average weight for his/her age, don'tmean he or she is fat.

I have two border collies.The people at the animal shelter said he would stop growing at a year or a year 1/2.Ty and Splotch quit growing between those ages.

According to my vet, the technical age is 18 months. But usually you can tell adult size by 9 to 12 months of age, especially if their weight plateaus at 9 months and doesn't change much in the next few months.
