I travel a lot & know the whole Eastern US pretty well How big is your shiba? Height, weight? Curious as to when mine will stop growing. 2 questions stuck in my head for this forum. Thanks! :) I live in Central NY, the finger lakes region. Mylie is about 13 or 14lbs right now and her head, when standing on 4 feet comes to just above my knees, which doesn't say much because I'm only 5 foot 2. She's 4 months old... I think she's going to be a small shiba. ## ljowen123 (moderator) · 2008-07-11T12:10:46.000Z I live just east of Atlanta, GA between two small towns - Walnut Grove & Oxford. Jazz is 17.5 lbs and her head hits at 20", which is just below my knees as I stand at 5'11". ## _dlroberts · 2008-07-11T12:36:20.000Z I live just NW of Atlanta in a town called Smyrna. Lucy is 16 pounds 13 ounces but needs to loose a few ounces. Joey was weighed at 21 pounds 2+ weeks ago, but he's not even 6 months old so that may continue to increase. ## tsukitsune (moderator) · 2008-07-11T13:03:46.000Z i live just south of scranton, PA but this fall I'm moving to 'the poconos' - in a town called Madisonville, closer to where I grew up. Farm country! I missed it! I love fresh cow stink in the AM! Tsuki is 17.5 lbs and I would guess 15-16 inches at the withers (just turned 1 y/o in june), Hachi is 18.5lbs, she'll be 2 in october, she is shorter than Tsuki by a smidge and can afford to lose a pound or so which she is doing. Kitsune is noticeably taller, maybe 18-19 inches, than the girls and he is 20lbs and he's approx 1.5 years old. I'm not sure that Tsuki and Kitsune are done growing, Kitsune hasn't changed much since we adopted him, he's put on about 4 pounds but is incredibly active - he still looks thin so he needed that weight. Tsuki hasn't changed all that much since she was 8 months or so and I'm fairly certain she is done growing. I'd love to know at what age shibas start to MELLOW out! They wear me out! We should poll that! ## brada1878 (admin) · 2008-07-11T13:13:55.000Z We live in Taos, NM a small Ski town north of Santa Fe and just South of the Colorado border. Our Shiba are pretty small and one is very thin... so Maui, our male, is 14lb and Kaia, our female, is about the same weight. ---- ## kwyld · 2008-07-11T13:33:13.000Z I live in Burton Michigan, north of Grand Blanc, south of Flint. It's pretty much hickville but I like being out in the country. Taj is midget size and weighs around 13 pounds and is almost 6 years old. I'm not sure how tall she is though. She hasn't slowed down in any way yet either!!! ## sunyata · 2008-07-11T14:00:31.000Z We live in Lynchburg, VA which is in western central Virginia. Not much here except some mountains, and loads of trails. :) Bella is about 19.5 pounds and is about 17 inches at the withers. She is 2 and a half. Nola is about 3.5 pounds and is about 4 inches at the withers. She is 7 weeks. (Almost time for Nola spam!!!) Bella is a bit large for a female Shiba, and after handling Nola, she seems like she weighs 100 pounds! ## JessicaRabbit (admin) · 2008-07-11T14:02:22.000Z Moto is 24lbs and stands just at my knees (however I am 5'7). He is 2 years old. I am in Providence RI ## brandon_w (admin) · 2008-07-11T14:40:41.000Z Madison, WI. Nemo fluctuates between 26-30lbs, usually right around 27. His height...ummm, 23 inches at the withers or something, maybe 24? Haven't yet found a scale that can measure his awesomeness. ## Romi (admin) · 2008-07-11T15:43:41.000Z I live in Southern California in Orange County - Tustin to be exact - South of Los Angeles and North of San Diego. I will be moving back to my hometown of Villa Park (about 10 minutes away) in a few months if everything goes to plan. Ninja is 11 months and weighs 23 lbs. and is about 17 inches at the withers - about 23 inches to the head. ## sujewel · 2008-07-11T15:59:23.000Z Romi, is that close to Oxnard? That's where my aunt lives. ## Romi (admin) · 2008-07-11T16:29:36.000Z Oxnard is about 1 hour 30 minutes away from me. ## Ryu · 2008-07-11T20:07:38.000Z I live in Kapolei, HI which is on the island of Oahu. We'll be moving to St. Robert, Missouri in September. Ryu is our fat boy weighing in at 25.3 lbs at 9.5 months old. We might be trying to lose a lb soon as his tummy is getting a tad bit "round" :D --- **Navigate:** [Forum home](https://nihonken.org/community/?format=md) · [Sitemap](https://nihonken.org/community/sitemap.xml)
