Doberman puppy owners - track your weight gain here

Luna is 16 weeks today and she just weighed in at 28 lbs! At 14 weeks she was 23.5 lbs so that's a nice gain. :)

I can't wait to see how she gains over the next couple of weeks now that I've increased her food and changed to a different food. Hopefully she will fill in her large skinny body and the ribs will be less prominent. Fingers crossed!

Holy Cow.. [and i mean the heifer zooming around my house in a Dobermann suit!]
Miesha is 12 weeks tomorrow 12/11/15 and weighed in at 30.5 lbs!!

@PandoraB my girl also has a very lean waist with a few noticeable ribs but i believe its just "puppy-lean". I wouldn't worry. :) As long as as she's eating and drinking, no vomiting or diarrhea has normal, regular stools that negative of parasites, good coat, and good activity- im sure she is a healthy,happy, beautiful lean-figured pupster! :)

Weighed Luna tonight and she's up to 32.5 lbs at 17 weeks. Up from 28 lbs at 16 weeks and 23.5 at 14 weeks. I really think increasing her food has made a big difference. She looks a lot fuller and her ribs are less prominent. She seems really tall and has big paws so I'm still hoping that she will be big.

One thing I've noticed since I increased the food portions is that Luna no longer lunges at her food and inhales it in half a second and looks for more like she used to. She really did act like she was starving before but now she eats at a more leisurely pace and seems much more satisfied. I'm kicking myself that I didn't increase the food portions sooner when my instincts told me to.

I feel like I should have been doing a better job of keeping track of her weight but I think we're really on the right track now. :) I guess I should also figure out how to measure her. lol

That's great to hear! Don't blame yourself because you were trying to do what was best and follow directions.
 
Going to keep track of her height now with her weight. [sorry for the repost]

Thank you - that is exactly what I needed. I wanted to pull out the measuring tape anyway to see what size my area rug in my great room is since Luna just ate a large chunk out of it! When does this chewing carpets/shoes phase end anyway?! lol

Luna is almost 21 inches at 17 weeks. Does that sound right for her age (at 33 lbs)?

I think that sounds about right. I'd have to go back through my posts to see exactly what mischa was but she stopped getting taller around 6 months or so I think. She was only growing about a half in to an inch a month for awhile before that too.

The chewing rugs/shoes/anything that fit in her mouth stopped when she was done teething. Thank God it was like overnight with mischa. All of a sudden she stopped chewing things that weren't hers out of nowhere!
