How do you know when your Golden has fully matured?

Great question. I'll bet you get a wide range of answers. For me I think that at 18 months they will be a physical maturaty and you any changes after that will be minimal. I think it takes a full three years before they are mentally mature. Still goofy moments but you can really start to see the dog who will live out his days with you.

I don't know the answer to that, either, but I will say that Tito will be 2 in March, and within the past 2 or 3 months he's changed a LOT physically, broadening thru the chest, ribs, and to our surprise, even his skull has gotten a little broader.
