Mila is 11 months old today. Holding at around 55 lbs currently. Same everything else. We're thinking August for her spay, not that it's a rush. She has calmed down SO much now. The only thing I'm stttiiiilll working on is the backyard potty time. When I put her out w the Shih Tzus, she freakin loves to run and go crazy. I'm gonna start trying to leash her and go back to square one. She thinks they're so fun to knock over still, lol. And she moves too fast for them to react. It's a real problem though for my older dog (pom mix). Just turned 15 so she can't handle it.
My body pic of her isn't loading so here's a short vid I did today.

What is the harness you using? Audrey's Harness is almost small for her.
Is it adjustable? Audrey still much smaller than Dobermans and Rottweiler her age at the moment.

It is an agitation harness, I have 3 different ones. The one in the picture is from For Dog Trainers.com it is ok and is the smallest one I have. They do all adjust but it is a pain to adjust compared to the others. Here is the one I like the most and use on my adult dogs.

I got Audrey this one as well as matching leash. It is weather residece. It is big at the moment and not breathable for this season but late summer and on top of another layer in winter is perfect.
I love the padding of harness you pointed at however it is on pricy side as I need one medium size before go to Large. It will be for summer.
Thx...

Her ears are pretty much becoming their own celebrity on social media when I share pics, lol. They are just entertaining. Even during one day they can be so different. Sometimes both stand up and she'll just look at us like, "what?" Also she loves to smile. Just can't get it on camera yet! Lol

I really like it thank you specially like the fact how open the under arm regions are.
I look into it in next few days more but I think it is the winner.

An 8 In Front Of His Weight?
The last two times I weighed Oji (this morning and on Saturday) he weighed 77 pounds!! The couple times prior to that (in the prior few weeks) he weighed 75.
He will be 3 years old two months from now. Just the past couple months or so he has started to look pretty pleasingly filled out. He's always had good muscle but has been skinny for a long time and as many of you know, been skinny to an unhealthy level. Well, that is if seeing spine and pelvis is unhealthy.
His story is so weird. He was 70 lbs. at under 1 year, then dropped well into the 60s and never hit 70 again until maybe well into his his second year. I documented it here with much celebration.
Oji is just a slightly smaller version of a Doberman. He's proportionate (besides being too narrow in the shoulders an chest) but I look at him and just see slightly smaller features and of course a somewhat diminutive snout. The only features on Oji that are not small are his paws and the dealy that is located under his belly
So I know he is always going to weigh less than most male Dobes. But at this point I would be so relatively satisfied if one day he has:

That's the funny thing about weight isn't it? My Aussie stayed at 40 for her first two years, then hit 60 around 3. All was as active as possible. Then near her death 2 yrs ago she dropped back to 45.
Going through that w Mila right now. She'd gone up to 62 or so, now is back to 55. She'll be 1 yr next month. At times I can see too much back bone then she fills out again. Because of her breeder and the issues w health we've had from it, I'm happy when her weight steadies and I see her eating well, and she fills out again. Her coat is shiny, her eyes bright and happy.

A couple other recent photos. For mother's day we had matching toenails. 
Even weighing at nearly 50lbs she still thinks she needs carried out of the truck, heaven for bid she ever learns how to jump. ;-)

That is a big weight for a female just turning four months! Nice proud look to her face there! I like your posting method.

I think it's a big boned litter hehe! She is right along with the same weight as all of her littermates. It will be interesting to see when she starts slowing down. She already doesn't really eat a lunch any more however we have amped up the training so lots of treats hehe.

I'll have to go back through my old FB pictures of Kaizer, but that sounds close to what he weighed at that age. Being a female, it's not that unusual that she would be a bit lighter. So I really don't think she's small. Rotts are very slow growers, dobes are also pretty slow. Kaizer is still growing at 10 months (I don't see it anymore, but people who don't see him everyday notice it). He hasnt even started to fill out yet, either. He still has that "scrawny" puppy build.
