The Doctor is 5 months today. He measures in at roughly 23" tall and weighs 49.6 pounds. He has gained 10 pounds in the last month and I could barely hold him to weigh him today. Looks like next month it will be my husband's job, haha!
 
I just weighed Luna for the first time. She's 12 weeks and weighs 19.5 pounds. That's low isn't it? This is a really long thread. Is there a growth chart on here somewhere?

19.5 lbs is a great weight for that age. We don't rely on growth charts because dobes mature and grow at so many different rates.

You can do a keyword search on the thread for 12 weeks and see what other members' pups were like, but that is around what my boy weighed.

That's a nice weight for a female. I think at that age my boy was around 30 pounds lol I'll have to go back and look.
 
Oh good - that makes me feel better! :) I feel like I'm not giving her enough food but I'm feeding her like the breeder told me to and it's in keeping with the amount suggested on the puppy food bag. It just seems like such a small amount and she's done eating so fast. She's getting lots of training treats in between though. lol And she seems to be so much bigger than when we brought her home 2 weeks ago.

Lol I never go by the bag when I fed kibble I always went off my dogs looks. You should be able to feel the ribs not see the ribs. You should have a nice tuck to the stomach though :)

To each their own. I go by the bag for the most part. Feeding a puppy too much can lead to health issues. They can consume too much calcium for example. A nice tuck to the stomach is more prevalent in NA&SA than EU. In EU working lines the underside is more horizontal than hourglass shaped.

Very true.

I wonder if that's what makes them look so much larger lol to me anyways.
