Tasha
Chest 26 Boris 33
Height foot to shoulder Tasha 26 Boris 29
Length Tasha 25 Boris 33

I measured with a tape now let me see if I can weigh Boris S/B

LOL, Boris is a big boy... I measured our 2 for the fleece coats from Meadow Cat and Della has a 32" chest (she's always been chesty) and Albert's is 34" as of right now, but I'm sure that will still fill out a lot. Length wise, Della is 24" and Albert is 28".

He is!! he has taken another growth spurt this last week. Tasha will be a year old tomorrow! Can't believe it has been a whole year and what a beauty she has grown into but she is so small compared to Boris but she still kicks his butt from time to time, she's the boss:cool:
 
Archer's 17 month measurements
Weight: 79#
Height: 28.5"
Length: 28.5"
Chest: 38" around

He's been on and off food for the entire month without vomiting or diarrhea, but am a little concerned about a 9 pound weight loss within four weeks (he was 88#). He has his yearly on Tuesday next week, so I will discuss it with them then. Perhaps the vet's scale was off yesterday. Or.. his chest did grow this month. Perhaps he had a spurt.
 
Rakasa 6/11/13 exactly 23 weeks 46 Lbs

These post are super interesting to read through!! My girl is 50/50 Euro/American so I'm very curious to see what the age/weights are in others :glasses:
 
Geist at 6 months 2weeks and 4 days is:
61.8 pounds
23.5 Height
27.5 chest(measured just behind shoulder bones then around chest)

I know at 4 months he was 40 pounds
at 5 months he was 50 pounds
 
I read on a thread that at 4 months take their weight and double it and that's what they will be closest to full grown...

Hmmm looking back to my girls weights she weighed 31lbs give or take a couple pounds (vet scales) so that would mean she would be around 62-65lbs at full growth?

Her breeder said she would be 70-80lbs full grown so now I'm super curious!! I just weighed her yesterday and she was 49lbs at almost 6months old....

Interesting-very very interesting...
 
Mines only a diddy one compared to most of these!!!! Shes 23.69 today at 15 weeks 2 days old!!
She was the runt though out of a litter of 12, small, petite, unladylike and very ungraceful but we love her. :thumbsup:

Our boy Boris was the second to the smallest in the litter and he was only about 19# when he came home and almost 16 weeks. By the time he was 4 and filled out he was 93#... ;)
 
Archer's 18 month measurements
Weight: 89.6#
Height: 30"
Length: 28.5"
Chest: 38" around

Man has he gotten tall!

He was under weighed at the vet's office the previous month. I'm sure he weighed about 88-89 then. Also I am now able to measure him on his body with the tape measure instead of the way I was doing it before. Think this month is pretty accurate.

Happy 18 months Archer!!
 
Well, Rocco is a rescue and he was very skinny when I got him on May 29th. He's 5 months old today and his weight is 37 pounds. I know he's needs to gain weight, but, how much should a 5 month old Doberman puppy weigh?

That varies based on things like his genetics. But if you browse through the previous posts in this thread you will see where others tracked their pup's weights and can see how your boy compares. Be careful when putting weight on, you don't want to go too fast.
 
Thank you Mariengeekswife. I did read through lots of postings last night and one person actually said. "They will grow as they grow:->!". He as actually gained 20 pounds in the short time i've had him. I went to the vet yesterday, Rocco pissed his sister off and she corrected him, NOT agressive, just did a little correction and caught his eye. So, I took him in and the vet that was thier isn't my fav. but, you gotta see who you gotta see. Anyway, she commented on his size and said he was small. Which bugged me. but, the more I thought about it. I'm like he's gained 20 pounds in less then 8 weeks. I thought, how fast does she think he should gain weight. He might be behind a normal puppy, because he was found in groucery buggy and all the other dogs were so sick, that the personthat found him, thought he was the only one she could save! So, she did.

Anyway, I feel better after I thought about it and you know, if he's small, then he's small, but, he's mine and he's alive and we truely think the rest of the litter died. So, he's my love boy! and sweet, sweet, sweet.

Thanks again, I'll keep posting weight, who knows, he might catch up since he's being well taken care of and LOVED!
 
I just signed up on the site but Chief is 13 weeks today and weighed 35.4 pounds. I think he is going to be a big boy!

Welcome! You should go to the intro section and introduce yourself so more people will catch it. We'd love to hear more about Chief!

Wow, that's quite a bit. The Doberman standard isn't actually as big as some people think so I'm sure he'll be right in the averages when he grows up.
