Well, Murphy turns 9 months in just a couple days and he now stands 29 3/8" at the shoulder and weighs 111 lbs. Everyone seems to think he is gonna be a VERY large newf..We watch his eating very closely and he is on the lean side. The bad part is he doesn't look big at all to us..LOL

He may get big but he will always be adorable.

Yep. Murphy is already taller than the average male Newf (28”), and he still has some growing to do. He’s same size as Clancy (who's 8 months). All my friends with mastiffs insist that Clancy is going to be huge. Me? I'm doubtful. I still think of him as bitty, and there's just no way he'll ever measure up to the OEMs in our gang (one of which is truly monstrously huge, in a good way).
Isn’t it funny how they don’t seem large until you see them next to other dogs? I used to think my friend’s 95lb boxer was a bruiser. Now he looks like a delicate flower next to my two, LOL!

Oh how cute! What a sweet little face. I know what you mean about the size thing. I don't think my girls are big till I see them around other dogs or trying to find an open spot in my bed to sleep!!

Well here we are about 10 1/2 months old.....
He's now 30.25" tall and 121 lbs (these stats are at exactly 10 months old). He has grown a bit more, not a lot but a little more.
I am keeping him lean to prevent over loading his joints, but he is definately getting big (still looks small to me, LOL).

Oh, my!
He is adorable, and I concur that he is going to be enormous! He's not looking at all chubby - all that pounds must be muscle and fur!

Well, Murphy is now 13 months old and he weighed in at 132 lbs! He is still pretty lean (ribs are easily felt). Haven't checked his height in a while but he's over 31 inches.

It's been a while, but Murphy is now 16 months old and he is STILL growing!!!
His growth has slowed a bit, but he is now just roughly 31.5 at the shoulder (maybe a little taller) and around 135 lbs(keeping him pretty lean).
Here are some pics from a couple days ago.
Set a pop can in this pic to show the size of his paws! LOL
