Figure Eight Growth Rate

Post by Montag »

The topic on adult GSP's made me ask a question that I have been wondering for a while. Whenever I see a figure eight at my LFS, it is just under 1". How long does it take for F8's to grow to the full 3-4 inches? I know I've seen pics of it, but no one ever says how long it took to get there.

When I first got my F8s, they were just under an inch long, and now 2 months later, they're about an inch and a quarter.
