That is tipping the cute scale far, FAR to the right!! Precious! It seems like they know how to make those faces that will just "get us" every time. Jax is the master of "head slightly down, look up only with his eyes showing a little of the whites." I just give up when he gives me that look...almost makes me want to just open the refrigerator and give him a go!!

Master manipulators from the start, lol. She loves being talked to. The expressions she knows how to make is pretty incredible. Because of her size, I keep having to remind myself, she's only a few months old!

And thanks.

So my dobie is 85 lbs at 8 months old......he's pretty large/tall as you can see from my profile pic. Just wondering if anyone else who was 85 lbs at 8 months can tell me what their dobie ended up at!? I'm looking through posts and most dogs are smaller at this point. Bishop is Ukranian and the first born male so i was expecting some size and I seem to be getting it

Is he already neutered?

No, he's not. Considering studding him with the breeder I got him from. Will that make a difference? i'm still learning.

 

[RyanandBishop]

He's about 6 months in that pic. The bottom pic he is on the top, and his grandsire is on the bottom. He won some awards/trophies in the ukraine! (I'm sorry i'm shamelessly plugging him right now but I'm excited!)

I wouldn't worry too much here's my 'chart'
EU male
5 months 63 lbs
6 months 70 lbs
7 months 80 lbs
8 months 85 lbs
9 months 90 lbs 28"
15 months 90 lbs 28" holding steady
18 months 93 lbs 28"
21 months 94 lbs 28"

Like Jan said It is nice to continue posting weights for your own and for others.

This helped me alot! My boy is at 85lbs at 8 months and i was wondering if he would level off or get larger. I'm leaning towards leveling and topping out around 95 like yours.

Beauty, looks like a female version of my Bishop...

I just wanted to say welcome from Minnesota! Handsome boy you have there.
You should make an introduction post in the introduce yourself area.

 

[NikiL02]

He is a nice looking boy! I agree with JanS!

Mila
8.5 weeks 11lbs
9.5 weeks 14.4 lbs (first vet visit, and treatment for coccidia)
10 weeks - 16 lbs
11 weeks - 19 lbs
12 weeks - 22 lbs (coccidia clear) - 15 3/4" tall.
13 weeks - 24 lbs - 17" tall.
14 weeks - 28 lbs - 17 1/4" tall
15 weeks - 30 lbs - 18 3/4" tall (could be 19, measurer fail, lol)
16 weeks - 32.5 lbs - 19" tall

We are going through a length stage it seems. I'm sharing a photo I took this morning when she had a calm moment. Ya know, killed toilet paper tube, then slept, lol.

To put it in perspective, that shirt was clipped up last week with a safety pin so it didn't hang over her butt by an inch. Few days ago, I undid the safety pin and it hung about an inch up from her tail. Now it's a good 6 inches up her back. It was also really loose in the chest, and it's only sightly loose now. That's less than a week. Sheesh. Getting harder to hold her from how long she is, haha. Also, I'm fairly certain she may fit in my shirts within another week if she keeps filling out at this rate. Lol I'm very glad she's doing so good at behavior and being on the leash at this point. She's not yet 4 months, and the girl is getting STRONG. On Monday, she had her checkup, and not at all surprising to us does the vet think she may be a big girl when full grown. We shall see.

Nero had his final set of puppy shots and his rabies today. The scale obviously moves a bit but he was 33.8 so I'm rounding up. Vet said he was in great health, looks exactly like a dobie puppy should and is doing well.

Isn't it fun trying to weigh them now? Getting cumbersome. Before it was easy because they fit on the scale so easy, haha. Yay for healthy pups!

I like going to petsmart because they tend to have the big scale they can stand on like at the vet. otherwise its two of us, one of us weighs ourselves then weighs ourselves with the dog and the other looks at the scale. Lol

That's how we've always done it too. When they start hitting that 60# mark it gets really hard if they're squirming too.

Losing dem baby teefers! Now it's time to celebrate. Looks like maybe half are gone.

Also sent a lot of pics to my editor to show Mila's size so I've got a few good ones this round. Some feature her besties. My pom mix (gold dog) Amber 14.5 yrs old, and Kona is my B&W male shih tzu who is now 5yrs old. They are her favs to pick on, lol.

At a week shy of 27 months, my boy Oji has dropped back into the 60s. 68 lbs. today.

Well...looking at those videos of him trying to get that dang ball from you, he sure looks healthy and beautiful. (maybe he lost a couple of pounds doing that "Tigger the Tiger" impression!)
I was looking through the calendar entries also, and I could not stop staring at his pic...his coat is ridiculously pretty...like a little oil slick!! (Texas thing?) I think I'd seen the picture before, but I kept going back to look at that sweet boy. I just think he's beautiful.

Aw, thank you! I must say it is nice to hear good things like this.

Yeah, his coat is kind of a weird thing to me: It does appear quite shiny, so that's great! At the same time, his coat is surprisingly thin and he almost always has at least some dandruff.

 

[NikiL02]

Nero was weighed at the vet today, and he was 39.4lbs. Everyone exclaimed how big he was going to be. Which is nice to hear after the initial 60lb estimate. Granted today he was a little bloated and not feeling so great, but was still full of wiggles and wanting to knock everyone over. I really wish people wouldn't try to pet him when he's trying to jump on them. Especially when I'm trying to sign my life away and can't pay attention!
