i do beautiful coloring on him, he is a big guy! i would watch his weight tho... he is looking a lil thick around the waist, i look at my dogs from the back when they are sitting, if to much roll on the lower back... then i try to take off a pound or too

Della - 10/18/09 (8 months) - 60# on the nose.

Gawd. I dunno if i can pick up fate today. Jan, how long is dellas head?? from nose to the bump between her ears? which i just noticed fate doesnt have much of a bump

 

[JanS]

I'll try to get a measurement after she has supper - it's nap time right now and I don't want to disturb that... LOL! Della doesn't have as much of a bump as Boris either.

 

[hrd2gt]

You know... Fate is sleeping now... I should probly do it now while she is sleeping, LOL ok, Fate is 10 inches from tip of nose to back of bump... Karmas head still looks lot bigger but only inch bigger, and Fate is 61lbs... is this it?? Are we done????

Jan, how long is dellas head?? from nose to the bump between her ears? which i just noticed fate doesnt have much of a bump

Okay, the best measurement I could get looks like about 9" in a straight line from the end of the nose to the bump. Why do you ask?

Edit after refreshing the page: I think they'll still grow a bit, but I was telling Hubby that she'll probably wind up at about 65#, which is fine with me. I measured Boris' while I was at it, and his looks lots shorter, but it's about 11". I suppose he's still a lot bigger than her so it's proportionate.

 

[hrd2gt]

that to the back of the bump? I dont know, Fates head just seems smaller to me than Karmas head. and I remember it seemed like Karmas head grew all of a sudden one day... and was big... Fate is a bit smaller than Karma still height wise, but I am thinking that she is not going to be really bigger than Karma after all.

Maybe her snout is just not as long... one day i will have to see if i can catch them sleeping with heads next to each other to compare or something

 

[JanS]

Oh, I went to the center or high point of the bump, but it's probably only about a quarter inch different.

Niyah at 8 mths. 26" (I think, hard to get her to syand still, lol) and 79lbs.

wow she is a big girl
she almost gets Apollo LOL, but just almost

 

[JanS]

Wow, that's almost 20# more than Della at 8 months....

 

[hrd2gt]

yup, I think Fate lost, she is at 60 as of yesterday

 

[JanS]

Hrd, I bet Fate is still bigger than Della since she's gotten super muscled up with all of her runs and I'm sure that's why she weighs as much as she does.

 

[hrd2gt]

Yea she is a stocky lil dog for sure. When she stands right, she reminds me of zulu's daddy, she even has that real masculine face. Not like Karmas where its obvious she is a female and dainty, light footed and all...

I am curious to see how she develops from here on out

 

[MomToMany]

Yay, Riley's first update is ready.

6 weeks: 9# 7oz
9 weeks: 15# 6oz

And the vet says that Riley is at a great weight for her frame. She was very happy with her skinny lil' waistline and palpable ribs. She had a very good first check-up.

 

[JanS]

Wow, the weight gain is incredible when they're that age...

 

[MyBuddy]

Good to hear, MTM! So good to see that this 'pick' is a winner!

 

[Apollo]

yeah i'm very happy for you too MTM
