I don't think that's too bad as long as she's in good condition, which she seems to be. She probably has at least 6 more months to fill out so she'll probably reach 50# at least. How tall is she?

@StarlightDobe so funny its like Layla and Lily followed the same growth path I think Layla weighed the same as Lily at 6 months. Layla is now 8.5 months and weighs 52lbs. I am ok with her weight as I just started doing agility with her and would much rather have a lighter dog then a heavier dog for that. It's interesting to note that the females are usually between 59.5-90.4 pounds fully grown. Quite a big variance in weight there, I think as long as they look right for their height and build, its ok. I believe the lower end of the standard for female dobermanns height wise is 24 inches or for me 61cms . I think a lot of people are just used to oversized dobermanns.
Forgot to mention she had terrible episode of watery stools vomiting which set her back a bit. She threw up 7 times in 45 minutes one night, I thought I was going to loose her.

Nexus is on the smaller side, she is about 65 lbs. Bella is bigger, at 82. Lily is growing good, she doesnt have excess rips showing, and is very active, so I am not worried too much, I do hope she is a good, average weight, to do her job later on. She is going to be helping me with stability and if she is too small she might not be able to help me .. in which case, she will just be a really spoiled baby

You have no idea, I started crying and telling her she was gonna be ok that I wasn't going to loose her, drove to the emergency vet repeating to myself "everything is going to be ok, breathe, everything is going to be ok...". She seems to have as super sensitive stomach, had her checked by the vet to make double sure though, any odd thing she eats gives her the runs sadly. She now gets probiotics on her food. That evening she got charcoal tablets and something for the vomiting. Shes a fighter though because at 11pm she got up from her sick corner (her pillow in the garage) looked at me and trotted up stairs like right its time for bed now I am ok. I was giving her water with a syringe very few minutes that night.

I measured Layla's height and she is at 58cm (23in), the lady from the rescue who fostered her for 6 weeks for me said that she will probably reach 62cm (24.4in) which fine by me. She has 20 years of experience with dobermanns.

Lily is right about 23 inches as near as I can tell. I sometimes think she is on the small side and at times she looks so darn big lol . . I have one small girl (well, small to me, everyone else tells me she's perfect) she is 65 lbs and approx 24 in. she is 4. If Lily ends up on the smaller size Im not going to sweat it.

I measured Layla yesterday and clearly she has had a serious growth spurt. She has grown 3cm in roughly 2 weeks
She is now 61 cms or 24 inches. Dunno how much she weighs but I am struggling to pick her up now. She is now nine months. When the festive season is over i will get her to the vet to weigh her. Clearly she was a slow starter but is making up for it now. If she has another two growth spurts like this she is going be rather large as oppose to dainty. Vet did warn me that pups with poor nutrition early on often will catch up later on (fed right that is) guess he was right.

Just over 5 months and 44 lbs. as a male. Slinky little dude with what looks to me like a small head and snipey snout. We shall see.
16.8 lbs: Could you remind us how old Lilly is?
And wow, Cain is a big boy.

Wow Taylor, Cain is a monster! Do you have a recent picture of him standing up? I wonder how big he'll be when he's done?

Wowzers! Cain at 7 mos is larger than most adult males I know. How tall is he from feet to withers?
Also wanting to see pics. Curious, plus we have been deprived of seeing Cain grow up, lol
I will have to measure and weigh Faith this next week. Her fill has improved.
