update on Lily @ 7 months she is 24 in. tall and weighs 46.6 lbs. She is still small, but she is all legs now lol She also has a strange soft dip in her head, the vet checked her and right now its not a problem, its possible her soft spot just hasnt closed yet.
we have things to look for over the next month but he doesnt seem worried at all. Her vision and hearing is fine, it isnt painful and it doesnt seem to be causing any neurological issues.

That's useful info to me. My boy is 6 mo., 1 wk. tomorrow, and is right at 50 lbs. So he's about where he should be I guess. Mine is working line, yours I assume is conformation line, so I expect yours to be a bit larger. Is the photo at 6 months, or at 7 months?

sheesh Faith is much bigger than Lily! I am convinced that Lily must have been the runt, and probably will always be small, which is ok, I have Nexus who is going to be 5 in a few months and only weighs 65 lbs. on the other end of the spectrum Bella will be 4 next month and weighs about 82 lbs lol

Ok I am really shocked at Layla's growth. Measured her today and she is 66cm or 26 inches. I have had my husband double check the measurement as I thought perhaps i was just not doing it right. How did she manage to grow that much in 2 weeks?! She is 10 months round about the end of this week. I really thought she would have stopped growing so much in height by now.

my two older girls didnt really quit growing in height until around a year. If you look at the front legs, right about where the black fades to rust, there is a "growth bump" .. once that flattens they are pretty much done getting taller.
Just measured my boy, Oji. right about 25 inches at a day shy of 6 1/2 months. Now, do I measure at the shoulder before it starts inclining toward the neck?

The pic is at 7 months. She is from a conformation line.
How old is Lily? Faith is one of the smallest of her litter. She has a littermate who weighed 60+ lb at 4 months. He's not at all like the rest of the litter though who aren't even close to being that big until now. She was not the runt, but her growth has been all over the place and it's been hard to keep weight on her.
Aria is 15 months and weighs around 65 lb. She is very compact and square so she looks smaller than she is, although she is a petite one.
I "think" that's about the age Della hit about 65# and that's been her average weight since then, which is about right for her bone structure. She got a bit over 70# after we lost Boris, but she wouldn't do anything then either.
Wow. 65 pounds can look good for a female. Oji's dam is 65 lbs., I believe, and I like the way she looks well enough.
It sounds so light to me. But then I'm a guy who wants a big, imposing, powerful Doberman (disclaimer: approximately within breed standard weight, and with no excess of muscle or bone
).
If my boy doesn't at least top out at at least 80, I'm going to be pretty disappointed. I believe I was told his sire is 92 lbs.
I know, I know.

she is 7 1/2 months old now.
It is what it is I guess?
Been so long now the weights and heights per month escape my memory.
Our female leveled out at about 11 months and we saw no real growth in height.
I was a little shocked at somewhere around 14ish months when I took the tape measure to her and she was at 27.5
That's where she stayed.
As it happens,and not to make a big deal about it,today is her 6th birthday

OOh @Gelcoater happy 6th birthday to your girl
! It's just such a shock to my system as everyone told me she was going to be a tiny little thing and it turns out not so. Your girl is a good height, as I said I just wasn't expecting a larger rather then smaller dobermann.
I just weighed her and she's around 27.5kg (approx 10 months) or 60.6lbs.
[DOUBLEPOST=1421829126][/DOUBLEPOST]@Archer how do you measure their chest? Is it behind the legs? If so Layla has 33.5inch chest (85 cm)
