Grammostola What?

I bought her a few years back, and the guy I got her from said she was a dwarf g rosea. Im not sure what that is or if its even a thing, he said she would top out at 3-4 in. She is close to 4in I would say now, she was about 2in when I got her.
Looks like a normal rosehair to me. Might get another inch, but it will top out around 5". Never heard of a dwarf rose hair, I have a feeling he may have been pulling your leg. Although, you can own a rosehair for 10 years and only get a 3" T, so maybe that's where it came from ;)
 
Looks like a normal G. rosea for me (although it could also be G. porteri or another species of this complex). I've also never heard of "dwarf rosea".
Maybe some mistaken Phrixotrichus spp.? They can look very similar and are found in Chile, just like G. rosea, but are a bit smaller in size. But yours doesn't really look like a Phrixotrichus.
 
@KezyGLA @WeightedAbyss75 @AracKnight Hey guys thanks for helping me with this. I went digging and found the cup I got her in, it's labeled P Scrofa. I had no idea what I was doing when I got her so I guess I never took note of it. Thank you all so much!
