Doberman puppy owners - track your weight gain here

Trojan weigh-in.. Exactly 5 mo's old and 70.2 lbs... Approx 24.5 inches at the shoulder.. Started puppy class after privates and is already the talk of the class.. Soooo very smart.. Amazing breed....
 
Apollo.. He came from Kimbertal, he is out of IDC World winner Pierce Patrick od Telepa and the bitch is out of Int Ch Wiking di Perlanera who is Very large.. He is finally slowing down on the growth, he was gaining 6/7 lbs a week.. I put him on Trophy sure grow and he sprouted like a weed, thats when it all started... If you saw him, he is not fat by any means, just big boned... Bone structure is Massive....
 
i almost tought he must be a Kimbertal, since they breed over size dobe's and over the standart big :), thats why was asking :)
 
When I purchased him, he was Not considered to be a superior sized dog like they sell.. Time will tell.. Pierce Patrick goes about 105/110, they also indicated the bitch was about 110 as well.. I do beleive he is slowing down, we'll see in the next 6 month's..
 
I wonder if my last female had kimbertal in her...she certainly would have qualified in the "super size" thing. We got her in '92 when they "bigger is better" craze was going on. Not that we knew she'd be so huge...she just turned out that way. Her paws were GIANT , though!

I don't think Emmie is going to be very large, but I KNOW she has Kimbertal in her lineage.

So- Fire's right up there with Apollo...just a bit older. How do you measure? I try to get the tape measure near them & they FREAK out. LOL :D
I always say 'about" because it wasn't accurate due to me ahing to tale string or something to measure , then rest it against the tape to find the right height.

What is considered supersized? What would that size weigh-in at?

everything whats going big times over the standart, a dobe with 110/120lbs, isn't a regular dobe, same with the height
Height at the withers: Dogs 26 to 28 inches, ideal about 27½ inches; Bitches 24 to 26 inches, ideal about 25½ inches.

weight is normaly between 66 and 88lbs, plus minus a bit difference, but 110 isn't the standart weight :)
Apollo's grandpa is 90 lbs and that pretty heavy already for a dobe, but still in the norm
 
For height measurements, I usually wait until they're standing naturally and sort of compare it with a window sill, table, or what ever is close to the right size, and measure the table or whatever to get a closer reading. It can really vary when you're trying to do it on a moving animal, so measuring the still thing is a lot easier....

That reminds me, I forgot to weigh Della this week....
 
i put karma in a small crate i bought... um... being her back was touching the top of the cage and she was holding her head down.. I am guessing she is about 27 inches tall, LOL

just weighed fate... 57... where did she gain 2 lbs...?!?

I know it's harder on a puppy but I take a ruler and line the dog/pup up to the wall and lay the ruler across the shoulders and push against the wall (and hold it there)as quickly as possible...when the dog/pup moves away, measure from the floor to where the ruler is against the wall.

That sounds the easiest to me, my walls are olive green so I think I might use some white chalk to mark the wall that way I won't have to be so fast trying to measure. Great tip MB!!
 
Yea, you can actually mark the walls like people in the 'old days' did! Otherwise, just take your measurement without leaving a mark but it's a good way of doing it. :)
 
If you really want to get an accurate measurement, you can always use a level on their back and mark it from there. At least I have a tendency to angle stuff like tape measures, so I could be an inch or more off... LOL!

Wow hrd, Fate's up to 57# now? I don't think Della weighs nearly that much. I'll weigh her again on Thursday, which is their 7 month birthday.
