I had thought she looked like she grew A LOT in the past week and looks like I was right! Slow down puppy.

I was just telling hubby that Phoebe has to be close to 40# now since she feels so much heavier lately. I used to be so faithful about weighing our others weekly but I've been slacking with Phoebe.

[Jen and Odin]

Hi this is Odin and he is 9 weeks old today he has put on 2.5lbs since we got him 4 days ago but he is only 12.5lbs which seems to be pretty underweight for his age. I was just wondering if anyone had anything similar and if their pup caught after being well fed? His height etc is where it should be just his weight.

Welcome! That's a bit small for his age but looking back at our pups weight at 10.5 weeks it's not that much less.
He's adorable and congrats on your new addition.

Oh yes, definitely and they all vary quite a bit. This is a big growth time so you're going to change a lot.

 

[Jen and Odin]

Thank you for that it has really eased my mind. He had to be hand reared for the last 2 weeks as mum had 13 pups and couldn’t cope, so thought that this may be the reason. He is a ravenous pup and I feed him 3 times a day and then do some sit etc training with him. A lot of the ones I saw on her for the males all seemed to be around 19lbs for his age. He has such an amazing personality already ! He is ready to eat, eat, eat anyway!

adore the smile in the picture!!

Our boy Luka is 64lbs and he is 14 months old. Seems a bit small compared to many others. Any ideas on bulking him up the vet said he wouldn’t get much bigger. I at least want him to get 80lbs!! When will he stop growing?

 

[Gpcoguy]

Why do you have a preconceived weight in mind that you would like him to be?

Well I didn’t get a dobie for him to be small. His dad is 120lbs. I figure 85lb is a nice medium because he defitnely won’t be that big.

Luka is a very attractive dog - the photo you show I'm assuming is now at 14 months? He looks fit and trim, better to be to slim at this age (or any age) than to be too fat. You can always feed more, but there's nothing attractive about a fat Dobe. This breed is designed to be a medium size dog, with great athletic ability. 120 lb sire is either grossly fat or out of standard in size.
