Lady is almost 100 pounds now and not even a year old.

Incredible! She looks very muscular. Betti is compact like that, but only weighs around 70 lbs. and that's why we refer to her as "Little Betti". Greta weighs about 85, but she is tall. 100 lbs....that's a big girl, indeed! ;)

Lady's dad was HUGE! not medium...not husky...HUGE. She gets it from him. His head was bigger than a basketball. She's starting to get muscles but still has a lot of filling out to do over the next year. I looked at her last night and saw her temples starting to pop out like her head is growing out more (as if her head needs to be bigger). But when she leans into you like most Rotts like to do, she makes a dent now.
I walk her and Grace (mostly at the same time...so it's a real sight to see) almost every night for a mile or more. Every one in the neighborhood stops and looks and some even come up to get loved on. So that's where the muscles are coming from...all the long walks.
We got her a backpack over the weekend and she's becoming quite the little helper..."oh Mommy, put it in my bag! Oh Mommy, let me get that." Gracey on the other hand is still the "mini Rott". :)

Lins, did you say in another post that Gracie and Lady are of Yugoslavian and Italian origin? What part of Yugoslavia? Part of my family is from Ex-Yugoslavia...Croatia to be exact. I saw a Serbian site on the internet with Ex-Yugoslavian rotties. I would like to know more, if you don't mind. :)

She is a doll!! I know the feeling well of having them still be under a year & growing so fast!! lol Rocky is almost 18 mths old & is about 125- 130 lbs... I'm sitting in the floor w/ him taking up all of my lap & crushing my legs lol & the whole time thinking... this time last year I could still pick him up & hold him on the couch! I love him being a big ol throw rug lol but miss the wee puppy days lol

The best times are when they are little and can be "squeezed"...then they let out this little puppy grunt. It's the greatest experience! Just be careful not to squeeze too hard.
