I have an 8 month old Jindo puppy and she is currently 18 inches tall and about 28 pounds. I have read that they should stop growing around 6 months but she still seems to be growing (height and weight). Also, she still hasn't had her first heat, which seems weird. I believe her mom was 38 pounds and her dad was 43 pounds, but I'm not sure how tall they were.
If you have a Jindo, can you please let me know what kind of growth pattern they had as a puppy both in terms of weight and height? This will be useful because my Jindo barely fits into her crate right now and I'm trying to decide if I should move up a size.
Thanks.

I don't know exactly when they stop growing but here are the average sizes.
Height: Males: 18 - 25 inches (48-65 cm.) Females: 16 - 22 inches (41-58 cm.)
Weight: Males: 35 - 50 pounds (16-23 kg) Females: 25 - 40 pounds (11-18 kg.)
Hope that helps :]
I would consider getting the next step up in her crate, if she can't stand up in her crate

What height of ex pen should I get for a German Shepherd puppy?

Getting an 8 week old GS puppy soon and wondering about the height of the ex pen...36 inches okay, or does it need to be taller? I'm just using it in the house when we're home to keep the puppy in it's own little space. Thanks.

36 inches (3 feet) will be perfect for an 8 week old German Shepherd puppy. However, that puppy is going to grow very fast and will be able to climb a 36 in. x-pen with no doubt. 48 inches (4 feet) would be best if you are planning to use it as she gets older and much larger.
Another idea, which I highly suggest to people, is to crate train. Dogs are den animals. A crate will provide your puppy with a place of his own. When a puppy is left home alone or is not able to be watched 100% then he should be crated for his own safety. Personally, I would never use anything but a crate. My oldest German Shepherd (3 years) is now trusted to be allowed to roam the kitchen when we are gone. My other German Shepherd (1 year) is still too much of a puppy to be completely trusted and she is still crated while we are gone. Neither of them need to be crated at night anymore. My youngest absolutely *loves* her crate and lays in there on her own multiple times per day.
The down side to an x-pen is that once the puppy grows into a full size German Shepherd, he will easily be able to jump up on the x-pen, move it around, and knock it over. As long as you are home, I don't see a problem with it because you can keep an eye on him. I would not leave him in the x-pen while you are gone though. I suggest hitting two birds with one stone and just buying a crate.
