Doberman puppy owners - track your weight gain here

[JanS]

I am a little concerned the taste of the wild is upsetting his tummy!

How long has he been on it? Sometimes it takes a good share of a bag before they get used to any new food.

Sounds like it Girardia (sp) from daycare. He is our only child and that could be the only place he could have gotten it. UGH!

Our puppy has decided to chew on a large sea shell, ok for calcium?

I'd be worried about it breaking up and possibly getting lodged in the stomach.

Thanks janS, great advice as always

Bob is almost 10 weeks and 21 lbs, good weight?

 

[Larryh]

Oops almost 11 weeks !

It looks like Firestar was right where you are, I don't know how to tag yet but mabey you can look at that profile!

Gus is 5 months in two days time and 28 kilos .... converter app tell me thats 61 pounds...? My last scrawny runt of a Dobe was 33 kilos, 35 on a good day..... This is a bit ridiculous. I haven't measured his height, I'll have to breakout the dressmakers tape.

I dropped off a poop sample at the vet today Denali is actually 70 pounds. I had tried weighing him the other day on my scale at home. That's a 3 pound gain in a month and a half. It's really slowed down now

 

[LouisVuittons mom]

So frustrating! Good luck

What is normal or abnormal for a 5 month male ? I just weighed Ares he's 40 pounds give or take and is 22 &1/2 inches in height ?
He's my first Doberman... So I don't know if he's large or small for his age... Please help I feel like he's under weight and tall but I need some advice

 

[salisa826]

They all grow differently. Denali was 55 pounds at 5 months. He's now 70 at 8.5 months. Some of his litter mates out weigh him by 20+ pounds

I just want to make sure his height and weight are alright :/

I agree they all grow at different rates but that does seem a bit smallish for 5 months. I certainly wouldn't worry about it though since he still has about a year and a half to grow yet. How big were the parents?
We would need a photo or two to determine if he's underweight.

 

[salisa826]

Are you measuring his height by the shoulders? The first time I measured height I measured from his back [emoji30]

Is his height smallish or his weight and yes I'm measuring from his shoulders by its hard when he wont stay still :/
[DOUBLEPOST=1432830259,1432828843][/DOUBLEPOST]His dad was quite large all of a 100 pounds and tall the mom were not too sure :/ like I said first time Doberman owner the breeder stays in contact with us though

 

[AresMyDobie]

I'm some what freaking out ... So is it his height that is smallish or is it his weight ?
[DOUBLEPOST=1432837320][/DOUBLEPOST]I didn't his almost 23 inches tall was on the small side :/ I know he's off a little bit in weight ... I'm really confused
