10 weeks - 14 lbs even
11 weeks - 14.8 lbs
12 weeks - 17.1 lbs

Its working! We give a cup of dry mixed with 1/4 can of kibble twice a day and at lunch she gets about 1/2 cup mixed with yogurt. Each time there's leftovers so I guess we're feeding plenty. Just a matter of getting her to eat.
 
I swear I can scarcely believe this myself... but we weighed Saava today... who is so long and lanky and so lean... I can see ribs on this dude and he eats like a horse.... so its no wonder... but are you sitting down?
The boy weighs 60 lbs.... SIXTY POUNDS!! holy hawkeye batman..... SIXTY POUNDS?
He was 17 weeks last saturday.... he is gaining about 4 lbs a week... he eats raw half the time and some Orijen kibble the other half... he eats about 2-3 cups 2'x's a day... I do not feed him three times a day anymore as he does not seem to want to eat mid day...
so he is not even 18 weeks and he is sixty pounds... holy crap!! what did I get into here???? the boy is a monster and I thought Gemma was huge... she was 63 lbs at 5.5 months old.... 6 months old she was right around 70 lbs! By the time he is 6 months old he will be around 80lbs at this rate.. eeeh gadz!
 
Holy cow, that is huge for his age... :glasses: You're going to have yourself a lunker for sure. :shock:
 
Jan: he is a lunker already... but what is most amazing about him is his bones... his legs and feet are larger than Gemma's at this age. I see his entire weight is basically his skeleton which is massive bone... Doberman Diva a fellow DC chatter... has a 10 month old male import who is 94 lbs right now.. he is also massive bone and structure and yet he is elegant and not heavy at all. I just see now how much differently built the European dogs are compared to NA dogs. Bones are so much denser and heavier and this makes a huge Difference.
Cathy Nu's Ms Lil, was 40 lbs at 16 weeks... Gemma was 42 lbs at 16 weeks and she ended up a 90 lb girl.. I am guessing that Cathy's lil miss Lil will also end up a 85-90 lb girl...
Its amazing to compare them on these charts... Albert looks every bit as big as Saava, when you look at his pix.. but his I am guessing his legs and feet are not as big and therefore he weighs less.

If you could see what I see right now on my deck! Gemma and Saava chewing, making 'nasty faces' at each other silently, but wrestling, chewing, chasing and playing tug and this stuff goes on from 7am till 8pm every day... its exhausting just to watch... No wonder the boy eats like a horse! he burns off thousands of calories a day going this stuff! :)
 
That's right, I have to start a paw thread since I took some pics of Albert's feet next to Della's about a week ago too and it's amazing how much bigger they are already. It's all very interesting!
Today is Albert's weigh in day so I'll be reporting back on that later. :)
