Doberman puppy owners - track your weight gain here

[JanS]

I know this thread is old but it still seemed active enough to post in... hope thats a correct assumption.

Absolutely! This thread was made to be an ongoing thing for everyone to keep contributing to, which is why it's a sticky.

I have a database started on all of the different weights at the different ages, so the more people who keep track of it, the better.

As for the fast weight gain, I wouldn't be too concerned right now. They all have spurts and vary a lot at any given age, so chances are he'll slow down and let the others catch up, and keep up the up and down gain until he's full grown.

Phew. Thank you!! I have adopted young adult dogs previous to Teufel. The last time I raised a puppy I was 17.

Just wanted to add that I had the chance to measure Spock this weekend and he is up to about 25 in at the shoulder already!

Ruby still at 65# She was one year at 8 July 10 Ruby is 27-28" tall
Jackson is 63# at 5.5 months. Jackson is 25-26" tall.
They both squirm so much when I measure their height it is hard to know exactly.

Hey Burly! I was just wondering how Zulu was doing... Wow I can imagine how great he looks at that solid 90# too. How about some recent pics?

New to the forum and wanted to add my boy at 7 months and 1 week old was 76 lbs havent weighted him in a couple of weeks im going to start weighing him every month now. Any ideas of what he will end up at?

Welcome to DCF Madi!

Your boy is beautiful! They all vary in their growth rate, but you're boy should wind up somewhere around 85 - 90# if I were to guess.

thanks! and I was thinking the same thing around 90 because his dad was 95 lbs and the mom was 83 lbs.

Teufel is 55lbs as of July 31st at the vet's office. Yikes he is getting huge! People keep telling me he is the biggest Dobe they have ever seen and I am really getting worried he is going to be too big to safely do Schutzhund. He is on a high quality kibble w/ 24% protien. He isn't fat and I can see the last couple of ribs when he moves. Is it possible that people don't see European Dobermanns often enough to know what is normal?

he will slow down with time, i wont worry to much yet
And i think people are so to use to the NA lines, that they think ours are huge they already think Aesa is so much older then 14 weeks, hahahaha

Ruby is 66# 28" at 13 months. I have wondered if she is going to grow anymore. Her mother is about 85# and father 100# I ran into a person a few weeks ago who has two girls from different litters from the same parents. He said his girls got their size after their 1st birthdays. Has anyone had this experience? I am partial to the larger dog but she sure is beautiful and agile as she is.

Jackson (same parents, different litter) turned 6 months yesterday and 72# 28".

Ok I was taking a look around the forum and answered my own question when I found the "How does your Doberman grow" thread.

Thanks Apollo! :eek1:

Raising this puppy makes me feel like a novice pet owner sometimes. I was hoping to hear "Don't worry". I don't know anyone with a young European bred Dobe in my area (any young dobes really) and am hoping that I keep hearing how big he is b/c people don't see them enough to know better.
