In the first seven to eight months of their life, Blue Picardy Spaniel pups develop quickly in size. Adolescent dogs have a rapid increase in size during puberty, but then their growth rates reduce when they "fill out" with muscle and fat. Usually by the time they are 11 months old, these dogs have reached their full adult size of around 21 inches in height and 40 pounds in weight.

Picardy Blue Adolescence in spaniel pups begins at the age of eight months, sexual maturity occurs around the age of nine months, and complete mental maturity occurs around the age of twenty months. However, keep in mind that the growth plates in most dogs, of any breed or size, don't shut completely until they're 9 to 11 months old. Both individual canines and canine breeds may affect the timeframe.

Spaying or neutering a dog too soon might cause complications, according to several vets. These operations raise concerns because of their potential to disrupt the body's delicate hormonal balance, which is essential for healthy bone development.

If you want your Blue Picardy Spaniel to reach its full potential as a pet, you should discuss the ideal time for spaying or neutering with your doctor.
