potentially getting a new pup

I'm very excited about potentially getting a 4 month sheepdog pup. I've read many many postings on this great site, I was able to send a day with her and she loves water and does so very well with children. Sarah is currently around 45 pounds, how big should I expect her to get? As current owners is there one particular piece of advice you would have loved to have had before getting your puppy?
Thank you in advance

Congratulations on your new puppy!

Talk with your breeder who can advise you about
her approximate weight as an adult.
My best advise before getting a puppy is relax and
enjoy her. Take your obedience training commitment
seriously. It takes your time and effort, but well worth it.

Make play time fun, interesting toys,and age appropriate exercise.

For dog nutrition choices, see the Nutrition section for
a good discussion.

Please check out this link-it has a growth chart and
lots of pictures of a sheepdog named Domino.

House training is a long process and it's never the dogs fault if she pees on your carpet. It is your fault for not watching her close enough.

Obedience classes are the best thing even if you think you know how to make her behave...it's still fun for both of you and great socialization.

Socialization is the most important thing for her it truly makes for a better dog if they are exposed to as many people, places, things, and dogs of all sizes at an early age.

To love her...even when it rains and she runs through the house dripping wet with mud all over her. :lol: :lol:
