Yes!! Wow she's cute! I have no experience with sheepie puppies, but she seems HUGE! Is the person holding her a miniature person?
ack I cannot seem to get the actual image in the post oh well at least you saw it...

Nope I am not miniature! haha I am about 5 feet and 8 inches

So I am not crazy I showed that picture to a friend she couldn't stop laughing she is a MONSTER!! hahaha (cute one)
Actually I lied by my caculations she is four months and 1 week in that picture. :roll:
How much does she weigh?
Well last check up almost a month ago she was 36 lbs I will try to weigh on the scales when I get home tonight.
Pippin is definitely smaller then that. He is at 4 months and 3 weeks today, and I know he is smaller... She's gonna be a biggun!!!
Holy cow...that is one LARGE puppy....cute, but gynormus!

ps...thats my new favorite word....gigantic and enormous :D
maybe you don't have an old english sheepdog...

I think you have an old english sheepmonster!!!

She sounds and looks quite large for her age
Holy Crap that is one HUGE puppy! 8O
How tall is she at the shoulders?
Now you all offical have me afraid! ;) I guess I don't have to feel crazy I thought she seemed big when I looked at other people on the forums puppies. I just upload more pics into a photo album perhaps they will be there tomorrow.

Think I will measure her tonight too!

Her Dad is 96 lbs and her Mom is 68 lbs. So I thought she maynot be too big consider how small her Mom is...
Looks like she is going to take after her dad!! :D
She does look big, but sometimes they just grow faster the first few months and then very slowly after 6 months or so.
Most of mine have not gotten much bigger past whatever they were at nine months old except to maybe re distribute their weight and build muscle tone more.
If she is 36 lbs at approx 4 months old that sounds about right for a male, so she may just be taking after her dad. My guess is she'll probably be about 45 lbs by 5 months, 55 lbs by 6 months, maybe 60 by 7 months, 65 by 8 months, 70 by 9 months and she will probably finish off at about 75 lbs.
She is a big girl.. an extremely beautiful big girl!!!

Stacey, She said she was 36lbs a month ago. 8O
She's cute! I read somewhere that they grow to about 2/3 their full size by 6 months. I think Foz probably now weighs about 30-35 pounds at 4 months.
Yup, she is going to be one BIG dog!

But then, if you wanted a lil'un, you would have gotten a poodle!
Here's a basis for comparison. Pippin is 4 months 2 weeks in this pic:

My husband is 5'11" Your girl seems a lot bigger then that...
Yah I think her legs are longer for sure.
She is big, especially for a girl. Clyde was a big boy and he weighed almost 50 pounds at 5 months which I remember because the vet remarking that he's was almost catching up with his age by gaining almost 10 pounds per month.
She is absolutely gorgeous!!!!! And huge! I'm so excited to see what she finally settles in at!!! :o :D
She is absolutely gorgeous!

Just a word of caution... I have a rescue sheepie with hip dysplasia so I'm a worry-wart. :roll: Be sure she doesn't grow too fast. The vet will be able to guide you if you are concerned about her being too big for her age. You might also talk to the breeder to see if this is a normal size in comparison to other littermates and considering the size of her parents.

Again, she is beautiful :D
Looks about right to me. She's a cutie
I have large OES and if you click next for the second pic of her it's easy to see that her quoted age is just about right. I have 2 over 6 months and they look a lot more mature than her in coat and structure. She's gonna be a real sweetheart!
She is so big! Beautiful too :wink:
She is beautiful :) Ah, does she eat the cat food? It's high in protein so dogs love it.
She is so pretty. I just love the bigger sheepies.
Mojo weighed 40 lbs. at 4 months.
He started slowing down around 9 months. He just turned 17 months and is about 96.
May be a little bit big for a girl, but I bet she will slow down in a couple of months.
She is big, but she is really sweet :D . If you look at mine photos you could compare whit Molly, she turn 5 month. June 15.

She's adorable!!!

My puppies always weighed their age until they reached their mature body weight, usually around 70 - 95 lbs.
She is beautiful!!!!

Our Chipper was born Feb 23, 2006 and he weighed 28.4 last Saturday at the vet for his check up.... she is going ot be big!!

ENJOY HER!
Well I went to the vet just to get Laika weighed and she is exactly 40 lbs. not to bad. She is very boney actually under all the fur.

I had the best fun with her this weekend we got out my paddle boat and she loves it! Even before it is in the water she is in it. She hates water won't even walk in puddles but she loves the boat.

Any hints on getting your dog to enjoy the water, I live on a lake I hate for her to be terrified of going in, I told her most dogs would die to have a lake in there back yard :wink:

I will put up a picture of us paddling around.
