I believe any dog over 30ibs needs to be at least 24 months to be full grown.
They may well fill out more after that!

Physically , Mentally ..Or both ?
They often don't coincide .
When it stops growing in height it is fully grown,mind you some keep feeding them stuff and it has only one way to grow further.

Now isn't that true. :) When I ask my vet , "What should this dog weigh?" she always says, " Its weight at one year should be its healthy weight for its life."
