Doberman puppy owners - track your weight gain here

Ha ha! That is why when folks worry about their pups weight we try to always refer them to this thread. All the numbers except the latest were published here at least a year ago.

Yeah, but after pages and pages of beastly weights I was seriously discouraged and really worried about her since her parents were huge. Now that I saw River's progression and her final weight I felt a sigh of relief.

Ha ha, understandable. Riv is at the top for females but still comes across as very petite when you meet her.

Which is why I was relieved when I saw River. I was looking for more standard lines and deliberately choice her based off of certain characteristics. I am 5'2 and weigh about 122lbs, Stormy (my boxer) weigh in at 64 lbs and did famously and I had no difficulty handling and training her. I was concerned because something was off for a few weeks and I reviewed the pages and was like holy flipping cow is she really small and then paranoia hit. I found a more suitable vet and we are monitoring her a little differently. She is doing a lot better now but again her final weight should be between 60 - 70 if the charts hold true based off parentage? My first Dobe was not standard but in fact a beast that weighed in at 120 pounds and not an ounce of fat on him. I will try to scan in a picture one of these days but it is really old. I did not want another super Dobie lol...more AKC standard and got a female this time around.

Our girl Della is only about 65# too and right within the standards.

This is scanned in picture of my Joey boy from 20 years ago. His final weight was 120 lbs and when he extended on hind legs he was taller than me. I am only hoping for half his glory with Luna as he was a handful for sure but a lover none the less.

Very handsome boy!

Yes Suzy, it is so exciting watching him grow! Im guessing he is going to top out a little over a hundred pounds. By far the smartest pup i have ever had too! How are your babies doing?
