Chief and I have had a really bad week. Our min pin Captain was ran over and killed. One of the hardest things I have ever dealt with in my life. Chief has been very confused and down. He hasnt been eating as good since it happened and I was truly shocked to see that he gained over four pounds in two weeks. He looks like he's lost weight to me but I am so glad he hasn't. Sorry for the negative story but it did blow me away when I saw he put pounds on after all this.
I am so very sorry for the tragic loss of your dear Captain, :(. I lost my min pin Abby 2 years ago. I feel your pain.
 
I'm still learning this forum....sorry if I post in the wrong places right now.
Just wanted to say that Kadence (KD) is 7 months old and 74 lbs. She is 26 inches at the shoulder/withers.
It seems she is almost as big as my male dobie was 35+ years ago. Everything appears to be super-sized these days...!

Luckily the girls slow down much faster thant he boys so she may not get a lot bigger. :)

Wow Aria has grown this the last pics you posted of her Ainsley. Beautiful!

My min-pin is 13 years old and just went through a bad spell. I thought I was going to lose him but he rallied and is doing better. Still, I know I need to be prepared for the day.....

I am glad your lil guy is ok. :). Yes that day is never an easy one. My Abby was 19 when I had to say good bye, I am in tears right now just talking about that time.. We love them so much it is horrible to lose them at any age.

Not much of a gain at all the past couple of weeks. I think he's going to start slowing down now and will be around 104 lbs at a year old. We'll see : )

8 1/2 months 92.5 lbs
 
Weighed the pups yesterday and Zoey is about 5 months and weighs 42lbs. Definitely losing the puppy look :( Yeti weighed 67lbs and he's about a week away from 9 months. He has actually started to fill out more too. Not so lanky. We go to the vet to check our eyes on Monday and get a date set for surgery. Poor baby :(
 
Gunnar is growing nicely!
13wks-30lbs
15wks-41lbs

Haven't used any Sure Grow, just cooking him lots of food! Not sure where he puts it all!
Thought of getting him the Sure Grow but read of the complications that can arise from calcium supplements. Anyone have or heard of such issues with the Sure Grow? Just curious.

Bleh...didn't save my formatting very well, lol. Trying to clean it up.
 
Well, it timed out on me for editing and I couldn't figure out how to get the spacing right so screenshot of my excel info it is. We had them for a month before I started routinely weighing them. I swear they were weighed before this but I couldn't find where I had documented it :(

I don't know what SureGrow is, but if it's a calcium supplement, I would stay away. Large breed puppies actually need lower levels of calcium. You don't want them to grow too fast as doing so can cause problems when they are adults. I advise feeding a good quality large breed puppy or better yet, an ALS kibble instead of supplementing.
 
Yes I agree. Gets good quality puppy food, lots of chicken and rice, some cottage cheese and even some gelatin, which is good for the cartilage in his ears. Read it also good for other things as well.
