I'm in the obsessive new mommy phase, so today is The Doctor's 13 week weigh in and measurement at home and I got 26.4 lbs and 17".
I am questioning the vet's weight last week, I doubt he gained 5 lbs in one week and since I weigh him on my scales every week the same way I find that more reliable for us. If the vet's are the accurate scales then I guess my husband and I weigh less than we think

LOL, when we weight our pups, we'll weigh ourselves either directly before or after the pup and do the math from there since your weight can vary a lot in the course of a day.If the vet's are the accurate scales then I guess my husband and I weigh less than we think

That is what I do as well. I will hold The Doctor and step on, and then do myself immediately afterwards. At the vet last week i made them redo it about 3 times because I found it to be so off. It was saying 18lbs the first 2 times!!
Agreed Ares gain six pounds in one week once hahaha
Mischa 30 weeks 50lbs and 24 ish in she was wiggly and trying to figure out what the tape measure was lol

There is a discrepancy between my vet's scale and ours too. If their scale is right, then Oji and I are both lighter than we think – which we don't want.I'm in the obsessive new mommy phase, so today is The Doctor's 13 week weigh in and measurement at home and I got 26.4 lbs and 17".

Dauntless at 8 months is weighing in at 77.8lbs, she is a big girl but she still has her waistline! All muscle and bone, no fat!

It's Thursday, so that means that is our weekly weigh in and measurement day. Today is The Doctor's 14 week mark and he is 28.2 lbs and 18.5 in.
Oji, almost 14 month old male, is Still. Seventy. Pounds.
You know? I haven't really measured his height much. But I can tell you he is real close to the same height of my previous two Dobermans. I, at 5'9", only have to lean over very slightly to put my palm on his withers. My previous Dobes were 95 lbs., and about 90 lbs. Oh, and those two Dobes were right about 28 to 28 1/2 at the withers.

Yeah, I've been trying to embrace the fact that I've been sold a male that will probably not crack 80 lbs. We started working on his tree climbing.

I probably have a panic attack at least once day over our breeder. Let's just say we won't be going there again...
Have you thought about trying a half and half raw diet? I know that I am planning on moving him to raw once he gets older. Which I worry about his size, but he has gained around 10 lbs since we got him almost 4 weeks ago, so he is growing. I was just expecting him to be bigger since he is supposed to be Euro bloodline.
I feed raw if you do it no kibble they digest differently. Kibble goes slower and raw faster you combine them both you will have a very upset stomach.
