No he's full grown... and elkhounds are medium sized dogs... approx 50 pounds giver or take... which is what he should be... if he wasn't overweight... lol

I know he doesn't look much bigger than my shelties, but i have bigger than normal shelties too..... lol

When my hairdresser first got him I thought he was an elkhound keeshond cross.... but after spending time with him I did see the gsd in his face....
