Thanks again everyone. I figured she'd be small, I had just never heard of any as small as her. I'm really starting to love the small ones.

She's got a big personality to make up for her size though and really starting to settle in (and cause some mischief).

Diabla is 54 lbs. and at 7 months old she was 39,6 lbs. She is the second smaller GSD I know. Are you sure your foster is full GSD?

As sure as anyone can be without getting the dog from a reputable breeder or having papers. The only thing about her that doesn't seem GSD to me is her size. Well, truthfully, her face reminds me of a fox but I'd bet money she isn't mixed with fox. The previous owners claim the father is an import from Germany and they saw the mother (not sure if they physically saw the father).

I was wondering if she might be younger than 7 months.

I don't remember Dante being that "knuckly" (the joint on the front legs) at 7 months, seems it was more like that at 5-6 months.

HOWEVER - that was 7 years ago so I may just not be remembering right!!

What ever her age, she's darling!

I also noticed her "baby-puppy wrist knuckles!" I too wonder if perhaps she's younger than suspected. Adorable girl!

I suspected that she may be younger too but they provided a birthdate even though the first of the month seems to be odd. Vet did say she has her adult teeth.

Jamie, I cannot get your little foster Katie out of my mind. How did she develop, how much does she weigh now?

Such a beautiful pup! I love the 'small', agile GSDs. And I have a soft spot for sables. You see why I am coming back to your thread.
