I canNOT believe Jaxie will be one in less than three weeks! He is my world and best friend. I also can't believe how precious he is to my Mom...at 76 she has never been an animal person, and it just shocks my family to see her with him!! He's good for her.
Back to the topic...he has held steady at 86 pounds for a couple of months now, and I think he looks great. I am going to try to start a Jax thread this weekend with some pics and questions...working is really taking a bite out of my Doberman-chat time!

He's looking great and I can't believe he's almost a year already! I think it's been too long since we've seen pics of him since he's really grown up.

6wks...............6lbs
7wks 5d...........10lbs
8wks 3d...........12lbs
9wks..............15lbs
10wks.............19lbs
11wks.............21lbs
Obviously with our food issues this week he didn't gain much. But since I have that figured out (he even ate some without the canned today too) I can relax a little more.

I think an average of 2# per week is almost perfect. Of course some weeks are going to be more and some less depending on their growth spurts, but it's a nice average.

Current status: licking the cabinets, convinced she's helping me cook dinner, lol.
I'm happy to see her gaining weight. In case anyone sees my first post, Mila was practially skin and bones when I first saw her, which is why I was so concerned with her weight. She also had very flaky skin and scabs from (we think) a flea bite reaction. Gave her a bath, flea treatment, and when I clean her ears, I do a massage w some coconut oil over her entire body, which has helped a lot. No more scabs, no more dry skin and hair, a healthier body appearance overall. I'm a little jealous over her muscles, haha. Thankfully, despite the coccidia, and diarrhea, her appetite and overall activity level has been good. She's only got 2 more nights on her meds, then the vet will do another fecal check to see if she's clear. So funny to be happy over solid poop, lol.
Mila
8.5 weeks 11lbs
9.5 weeks 14.4 lbs (first vet visit, and treatment for coccidia)
10 weeks - 16 lbs
11 weeks - 19 lbs

She looks precious and healthy; I am so glad!
I can totally relate to the poop happiness. I am obsessed with Jax's "movements!" When he was little, I really would get so excited I thought it was photo worthy! Even still, I get a little Mom pride when they are big and healthy!! I feel so weird for it, but I think a lot of people can relate (even though they may not admit it because it might seem like a therapy visit is in order)!

Exactly! Haha And thanks.
It's too funny how those things work. It was hard there for a few days, watching it turn to pure liquid. I think all pet owners relate. 
Oh yes, we're all poop watchers because it can tell us so much.

Really you think so, I always seem to think she's small lol (my old girl was a doberman mastiff mix and 120lbs) Thanks tho it'll be interesting to see what she weighs full grown. What is the average weight for a female I think I read somewhere 60 to 70lbs right? Sorry first purebred doberman owner here!
She just looks so grown up and Nero is quite a bit smaller than she was at the same ages.

Ruby was 31 lbs at 14 weeks so I think she is in the normal range.
Oh she's in normal range, Nero is bitty. LOL He was 21lbs last Saturday.

Vet said he had a bcs of 6. She seemed to know more about dobes than my other vet (same clinic) so I think I'll request her from now on. She totally supported our decision to neuter at 2 years old at earliest!
He was dewormed, had his 2nd puppy shots, and nails trimmed (they showed me how on dark nails). So we'll keep on keeping on.
Oh today he has a wonky ear... wtf Nero!
Post pics later when i can shrink them.
