Doberman puppy owners - track your weight gain here

[Prushanks]

We brought Miesha to her first vet appointment today!! Doc said all looked perfect, [if a little judgy about her having cropped ears, which gave me a total guilt trip!] So here starts the weight tracking! [I know, my little girl is a BEAST!]

Born 9/18/15
9wks 3days: 22.8lbs !!

Absolutely don't let them do that. Ear cropping is one of the more minor procedures any dog goes through.

That's big!! Luna is 13 wks, 5 days and just weighed in at 22 lbs.

And as for the ear cropping vigilantes, the first question I always want to ask is if they had their son(s) circumcised. I had that discussion with a friend recently and when I brought that up that was the end of her objections to cropping.

 

[Prushanks]

Wow... that is an awesome point! Never thought of that!

You'll have to get used to it :/ I always go with the spay and neuter is totally acceptable right ? Now that's a procedure !!!

I'm rather certain that if dogs could speak and given the opportunity to choose they would most certainly choose ear crops over neuter

Lol agreed !!!!

Incredible. Oji is not 70 lbs. anymore. My 16 month old male is now 67.5 - 68 lbs.

Lol I'm sorry tad. This made me laugh a little bit I'm sure he's can run like the wind though.

Thanks. I wish I could even have that, but no, he is surprisingly slow for his diminutive size. I blame his large front paws. Labs, mutts and lots of other dogs outrun him at the dog park.

Maybe get your boy a weight set and have him start working out

Luna was weighed today at the vet - 23.5 pounds at 14 weeks even. And my vet was not judgmental about the ear cropping at all so I didn't have to ask her if she had her son circumcised! lol

Hey, our every walk is a weight-pulling session for him. He is actually nicely muscled and strong. But sheesh, a 70 lb. male Doberman?

I wonder if he has gotten the nutrition he needs in his lifetime thus far and if his growth was stunted. However, I know his litter mates are small too. He's got a 65 lb. dam and a 92 lb. sire so I don't know what freaking went wrong.

Do older bitches throw smaller pups? My last Dobe was from an eight year old bitch, but it was a litter of only two. My boy from the breeding was about 90 lbs.

I laughed at how she eats! Could she put herself in a more awkward position?!

Lol I made her sit for the comparison picture... This is normal eating:

Well normally she's in her crate to eat but for the purpose of the pics she's in the living room here

She is a big girl! What is her lineage?

I just go back to my previous post and copy it, then paste it into a new post along with the new weight, if that makes sense.

 

[Prushanks]

Thanks Jan, will do!

@TheDoctor'sMom - She is from Euro lines.. though the breeder couldn't get over how big she was from day 1!
