There are two potential theories. It could be that Sif in the Artorias of the Abyss DLC is actually puppy, and by the events of the Chosen Undead's pilgramage, he/she is an adult. This could very well be how the species grows. Of course, the younger Sif does not have the bodily proportions that would be expected of a puppy, but that could be developer oversight, due to the younger and older Sif using the exact same model and animations.

Alternatively, Sif could be somewhat like the demigod wolves from Norse mythology, such as Fenrir and his offspring, which never seemed to stop growing. Sif could very well have been an adult by the time of Artorias of the Abyss, but adulthood probably isn't the limit to his/her species potential size, and so Sif continued to grow in the passing decades. This seems to be the case with the wolves we see in Dark Souls 3, which vary greatly in size. There are four different types of wolves we see in Dark Souls 3... The common Ariandel wolves that are about the length of the player character, the alpha Ariandel wolves that are slightly larger, the Wolf of Farron which is about the size of an elephant, and the Gravetender Greatwolf which rivals Sif's size.
