Broadly speaking, when do APBTs reach their physical peak?

Not just size but the whole package, power, stamina, drive etc.

I ask because my mutt turned two in February & I am waiting for her to reach a plateau. Not happening yet, she is still developing in every respect apart from overall size. Little bugger is getting smarter too.
I have a lot of dog in a small package which I love, so this question is just based on my interest not any issues.

I believe it varies between 1 to 3 years...

If she keeps going at the present rate until she is 3 I'm to get her some lead booties. (to slow her down!!!)

I typically expect the bell curve to peak around three and they are really in their prime from maybe 2-4. Much beyond that they usually tend to calm down a little bit.

Lucy will be 3 in August (she's already got a nice little grey beard going on so people always think she's older). It seems like she "levels up" more everyday.

Yeah, Sandi has old whiskers...

I guess I'm looking forward to 3 then. Week by week she just seems to get more dynamic & energetic which is one reason I love the breed but it's daunting after a good hours workout when I'm feeling it, that she is exactly the same as when we started, just with a bit more drool going on. As soon as we get home she is straight at the pull toys. "play play play!"

The dog is in the middle somewhere...



Teasing, naughty.
