Doberman puppy owners - track your weight gain here

[Patricks MrRedd]

We were discussing this in another thread and it would be interesting if everyone checked into this thread to post their puppies weight and age. Of course all dogs vary, but I thought it would be a good way to keep track your your own pups weight and see how they compare with other pups their age.

I scanned my notes (scribbles?) of Boris and Della's puppy weight and it's interesting how small Boris was compared to Della at the same ages, but he really started gaining at the 5 - 6 month mark, and I don't think Della is going to have spurts like that.
As you can see, she weighs over 10# more than Boris did at this age.

Anyway, here's what I have to date and I hope the rest of you check in regularly to post your pups progress as well.

Mr. Redd is 9 weeks old and he weighs 18 pounds, this is our second Doberman, we lost our first at 10 years old to liver disease in which I fought ferociously for him! I am new to the site so it's gonna take me a little while to figure it out LOL

Welcome from Minnesota! Mr Redd is a cute boy.

Thank you!! Our vet seems to think that he's going to be as big if not bigger than our Ruger was! 106 lbs , I truly hope he stays around 90 ... he's already proving to be an exceptional Doberman! Smart as a whip, a little clingy with me though, any suggestions?

Hi and welcome to DCF from the UK! He's a cute pup


If you want to start a new thread about your little guy being clingy we'd be more than happy to help you out or even an introduction thread?

We took Rumor to the Farmer's Market and a few other places like the vet to get her weighed as she jumps off the puppy porch today. She weighed 72 pounds which sounds like a lot. She certainly doesn't look like she weighs that much. One of the reasons I don't worry about the number and more what the dog looks like.

No kidding - he's growing up so very fast...

Dingo will be two in December and weighed in at the vets at 62lbs. She did sneak up to 58lbs, but then went on one of her 'refusing to eat' periods (and I think had been boarded for a few days) and was down to 52lbs 6 months ago. Just shy of 25" and filling out quite nicely!

Politely waiting for his brother to finish his food... little scavenger!

I feel kinda silly asking this but will throw it out there... I am feeding him 2 level cups AM and PM with 1 cup for lunch with a small frozen sardine too. He gets carrots as treats and raids my garden for veggies (and their stems & roots as he pulls up the plants), sticks, tree bark, dirt.. pretty much any organic matter that he fancies to supplement! At night he gets a little (1/8 can) frozen in a half kong for bedtime snack. He is on Canidae ALS (the multi-protein one ~ 468kcal/cup).

His body condition looks perfect but should I be giving him more? He isn't nearly as active as Miesha was and honestly, Miesha's GI issues got me all screwed up that I have trouble knowing what is appropriate!

You might actually wind up cutting out the third meal as his growing slows more.

Well Sassy is 14 weeks and 3 days and until today I never weighed her. Never thought about it. But I weighed her this morning and she is 31.2 lbs. I don't know where that is on the scale of 'normal' but that's what she weighs. I tried to measure her height but it seems that the tape measure ranks a close second to the Dremel and so that is going to have to wait.
