I thin kusually around 6 months of age. I believe that's the age they stop growing, although, their coat will continue to chance for years.

I have heard that they have all but 25% of their weight by 5 months.... they have their "size" in terms of their height and length by six months, but that they will continue to put on weight (muscle and fat) after this age.

Right...by 6 months you should be safe as far as buying them clothes. All living breathing creatures can put on weight at anytime, but typically, you have a good idea around that 6 month mark.

Yeah, I heard the 6 months, but could still grow a bit until 8 or 12 months. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong anyone.
