Last week Oji weighed 63.4 lbs. at 9 months (male). For those of you new here, I love a dobe near the top of the standard in size. So I'm suffering here with this little squirt. Pic to follow.

Dauntless - 10wks, 22lbs, 15in, think she is going to be a big girl!
Wow her ears are looking great already!
Thanks, this was after 4 days! Only about 6 1/2 months to go!

Man, thanks a lot for showing me the thread MyBuddy! It helped out a lot. Rocky weighed in at 26lbs at 13 weeks. Is that considered small?
Our first boy was 19# when we got him at almost 16 weeks (not really underweight) and he matured at 93# so I don't think that's small at all. They all vary in their growth pattern and really slower is better.

Yesterday Kai turned 10 weeks.
10.2 pounds?
Half the size of Dauntless
Haven't had a puppy for a while but she seems a little skinny on to me. Mom was 80 pounds and Dad 95. She was the middle size of the females in her litter. When we got her she was shorter and rollie pollie. Hard to believe we have only had her 5 days, but in that time she has gotten a lot taller and stretched out. I realize puppies grow in spurts. We are still on the Science Diet Large Puppy (hey its what the breeder was using) and will be changing to Nutro Max Large Puppy slowly over the next week. She eats 1/2 cup in the am, 1/2 cup around noon, and 1 full cup in the evening. Which is a little more than what Science Diet recommends. She eats it all like a beast. She also gets lots of various training treats.
We have our first vet visit on Monday and will be discussing it with the vet for sure.
I am not overly worried as Kai has boundless energy and was on a play rampage again last night. Her coat is good, soft shiny, and full. She doesn't seem to beg for food, although you open the tub with the food in it and she knows what is going on!
Besides weight what else should I be measuring and how do you do it? I mean where do you take the measurement not how do you measure a squirming wiggle puppy who is in constant motion.

Quite a few measure the height too but as stated they are wiggly so it's not always easy.
If I remember right we fed quite a bit more than that at that age since they're really in a growth stage. I think it was something like 1 cup 3 times per day and of course it needs to be adjusted the bigger they get. I'm glad you're getting off the Science Diet since it's not a good food at all. JMO, but there are better brands out there than Nutro too for about the same price.

Rocky scaled in at 30lbs 14 weeks. His ears stood up after the first wrap which was 1 week after surgery, but the Vet wrapped his ears right after surgery which makes 2 weeks of wrapping. I got him another wrap and if his ears stand should I continue to wrap him? Thank you Dobie lovers! Picture was right after his first wrap 2 weeks after surgery.

Dauntless taking a break from playing. At 11wks she is 27lbs!
Oji is 65 lbs. now at 9 months, 1 week, 2 days. (male)
I think I got confused on his age. I thought he was a month older than I now think he is. ? Weird. I was calling him 10 months old.
