Doberman puppy owners - track your weight gain here

Lol that's a tug stick somebody (me) attached to a tree so I can get an 'action' shot :D

He does have a lot of muscle combined with a prominent chest, big shoulders, muscley back end and heavy bones, you really can feel how dense and heavy those bones are for example when he gives me his paw it's like shaking hands with a human they are so heavy, much more so than any of my prior Dobes :eek:. When he lies down with his head in my lap or on my legs it gets uncomfortable after a few minutes because of the weight.
 
Mark: he just gets better and better! Love that boy! great photos too! clever ruse! putting the tug in the tree! the free stack photo is fabulous! Yes he has a chest on him already... He looks like his parentage... beautiful dude of significant size and mass, beautiful bone and regal (but still goofy baby) looking boy!

Spock
14 weeks (3 1/2 months for hrd) 33.4 lbs
16 weeks (4 months for hrd) 41.1 lbs.
20 weeks (5 months for hrd) 54 lbs
24 weeks (6 months for hrd) 60.6 lbs
7 months 60.2 lbs
8 months 64.7 lbs, possibly at 26 in
9 months 71 lbs, 27 1/4 in
10 months 76.1 lbs, looks like 27 1/2 in
11 months 77.6 lbs,
1 year 83 lbs and it looks like at or a little over 28 in
13 months just under 80 lbs
16 months 82.5 lbs, just over 28 in tall
20 months, 86.4 lbs still measuring about 28 1/4 so I think that's as tall as he'll get.
22 months 84.4 lbs
24 months 77.4 lbs and 28 1/4 inches tall. This seems to be a really great weight for him for now. He's definitely still filling out muscle-wise.

He looks great Jess! I know Boris didn't totally fill out until he was about 3 years old so it sounds like Spock is going slow and steady like that too.

Thanks! I'm glad we finally got his weight under control. He's pretty much in perfect condition right now, nice up-tuck and just a hint of rib. Now to keep him there, lol.
 
Baba is now going on 8.5 months... not gained any weight and has stayed the same since 7.5 mo's... so he is right around 90 lbs...
He is now the 'Yoga Dog" at my Hot Yoga Studio and all my members are getting to know him! He loves it here, loves to plop down in the middle of the studio floor and fall asleep... or look at himself (narcissist I think) in the mirrors!
Funny boy and so totally calm and peaceful.. he and Buddha get along well too! :eek:

Ranger 7 months-7olbs close to 27" at the withers, standing next to his sister Banner who came for a visit, she is 2 inches shorter and 15lbs lighter. We dropped his feeding down to twice a day and his weight has been the same for the last couple weeks.

Judith: Buddy is a monster! Bella will soon look 'normal' size when Buddy passes her up here in the next two months! Great photos as always!
Mark: Ozz-monster is also a monster! what a boy! great photo of him with his behemouth chew bone! How is the 'tug training' and 'focused heeling' going? has his behavior changed at all from his previous mischievous ways?
2Dobies: where in the world is that fabulous view? What a fabulous view from your yard! overlooking a whole valley! amazing... great photos of Ranger too, with his sister! you can definitely see the 'family resemblance! :)

Ozzy29weeks6days-14-XL.jpg
Ozzy having a good tug on his erm... tug, he really tires me out after a few minutes of this, he doesn't know 'OUT' yet...

Diva, those DVD's are really useful thanks, that Michael Ellis knows his stuff. Ozzy loves his tug so the techniques explained in the DVD has really come in handy. His behaviour has changed mostly because I don't take him to the hour long training sessions any more I train him for just a few minutes at a time so he doesn't get bored and I mix up what we do, a few sit, downs here, a few stands and come there with a little bit of heeling along the way ;)
