I have heard conflicting information- but general consensus is pup stops growing around 9 months?

Just curious...

Oskar stopped by 7 months...I think others can go to over a year.

Depends on the adult size of the dog, and by what you mean by "growth". Skeletal growth is usually complete by 6-7 months in the smaller doodles and 9-10 months in the standards, but they continue to gain muscle and lean mass so their weight may continue to go up well past their first birthdays. 

Millie is 6 months and I think about 47 pounds.  I'm guessing she'll be abut 50 pounds at 7 months as well.  I have no idea when she'll stop growing though.. I think it depends.

Not too much taller after 9 months (maybe!), but will gain weight! If you have a record of the weight at 16 weeks, you can double it and you will be within 10 pounds of final weight usually.

Well, maybe the height, but not the weight.  Mine were growing well up past their first birthdays.

I don't think so. I would aim for 12 to 16 months. Auggie was 66 lbs at 9 months and now at 16 months, he is 75 lbs. Just like Karen said, the skeletal growth might be done, but they do fill up some more.

My puppy is almost 6 months old and about 40 pounds. One of her parents is a standard poodle. I think she will grow to be about 50 pounds so i assume it just depends on the dog. I was hoping she would grow to be a big dog and still hoping! lol

Darwin stopped getting taller at 8 or 9 months I think, and stopped gaining wait at 1 1/2-2 years.
