Doberman puppy owners - track your weight gain here

Holy cow! He's huge for a puppy! Archer is 30" tall, but did not get that tall until after he was over 1 yr old. He was neutered at 12 mos per breeder contract and I think that contributed to his height.
 
Weighed Layla at the end of last week and she know weighs 25.5kgs (56.2lbs) at just on 9 months. Not bad for a pup that weighed only 4.2kgs (8.8lbs) at 8 weeks. Still handfuls of loose skin so curious to see what this previosuly malnourished runt grows into.
 
I was curious so I measured and Boris is a whopping 13 1/2 chest and 31 tall and 105 pounds - Boris the Horse! Tasha is her same measurements at 11 chest and 28 tall Boris has gained some chest this last summer but I have put him on a Vet recommended diet, I think she is just afraid of him lol but he is slimmed up a bit.
 
46.6 lbs. at 5 1/2 months. (male) If he had a bigger head he'd probably be 50 lbs. His eyeballs are big enough though!
 
So measured Layla today and she has grown by a whole centimetre she is now 62cm or 24,4inches. Will weigh her again soon. The little b!tch is growing, she is still race dog thin thanks to her extremely active lifestyle but starting to get some muscle definition. She is just over 9 months.

She's making up for before you had her and she was so underfed and tiny. She's going to end up being a good size :).

She's approximately the same height as Della now. She'll stay well within the standards if she's already 9 months since the girls do stop growing in height much earlier than the boys.

Wow Kellie, your little girl is really growing up!
 
Hey @JanS and @Rex's mom thanks for taking the time out to read about my silly dog :) Her growth plates haven't closed yet so I think there might be a little more growing in height to do but agree it won't be a heck of a lot. Still haven't weighed her. She has skew toes on all four of paws, one on each paw, I noticed this but the groomer pointed out how distinct it is. I asked the vet and he said could be due to her shitty nutrition as a young puppy (i.e. lack of calcium) so I went in to full panic mode! Luckily vet soothed me by saying it was the very first thing that that tends to show with lack of calcium and that the by now she was strong and healthy and no need to supplement or panic. :D I was worried about her bones but vet said they tend to go bow legged and the joints deform if there is any serious deficiency. Glad we got her out of that situation when we did and that she only has skew toes to show for it.
 
@kashi I love reading about other people pups and following them as they grow up. Layla and Rex are very close in age too so it's neat to see how other pups his age are coming along. I also like to know I'm not the only dog crazy person out there:)
