Growth and Maturity
Below you will find a chart illustrating the growth and maturity of a GSMD Dog and Bitch.
Swissies vary in size and as per the Breed Standard, can range in height. There are no weights defined in the standard but since the GSMD was bred for all purpose farm work, including pulling heavy dairy carts and droving cattle, dogs and bitches should both have the substance and bone needed to do such work.
A typical GSMD should not be "weedy" (lightboned) or resemble a sporting dog or a hound.
Keep in mind that GSMD like many of the breeds in the Working Group are Molossers which
are believed to have descended from the Tibetan Mastiff.
