Their growth plates close around 8-10 months of age, so she will likely not get much bigger than she is now. She may grow a centimeter or two at most and probably gain a couple of pounds. Her current weight is somewhat less than I would expect for a pointer at that age. These dogs do tend to be quite lean, but I would expect her to be more in the 40's at that age. As long as she's healthy, the low weight is not a problem; but if she has had health issues, then it's best to have a vet evaluate her sometime. I hope that helps and all is well with Daisey.
