24wks - 59.0#'s (26.0in)
25wks - 59.5#'s (26.0in)
Wow, 3wks in a row she measures out at 26in tall.....no growth. Only a half a pound in weight?????
Callie is starting to feel real solid. She has enough loose skin (hide) on her front shoulders to fill in a D8 CAT in her chest while her hind end is pretty tight. Maybe it's just me always seeing her but to me it seems like she has pretty much grown into her feet. They don't look that large to me anymore.
I wrestle around with her quite a bit and between the week she spent with her large parents playing and with me knocking her around she is building a very strong physich...but this nongrowth in height for 3wks puzzles me. Maybe she won't grow much taller at all? I know she is going to fill out her chest and put on more weight.
I contacted the breeder to see if any of Callie's siblings from this litter or previous litters have gone through this and if so was it at this time in their lives? She said she would dig through her records and let me know.

I think that's completely normal - especially with females and height. How many months is she now (don't feel like figuring from her pitapata )?
Albert is sitting at 26" right now too and I don't expect to see real measurable growth in height now at 7 months, but it does creep up on you when you're not looking to put on a couple more inches in males, and perhaps a little less in the girls.

It comes out to 5mo & 3wks Jan. The 14th of January will be her 6mo birthday.I think that's completely normal - especially with females and height. How many months is she now (don't feel like figuring from her pitapata

She's up to eating 6 cups a day finally! I think she's finally found her appetite. Who would have guessed it was hiding in Arkansas, lol. She's just so active that not much of it sticks. In the week that we've been home she's already eaten enough to get her ribs covered again. Just didn't want to eat much in an unfamiliar environment I guess. But she's still growing and gaining nicely. She's just going to be our petite girl. Her jammies are too small now. I already have another pair on order.

Ozzy is very handsome!

Why thank you kind lady, I will upload a few more of myself later, oh wait bah humbug your talking about my Ozzy
just kidding I'm used to Ozzy getting all the attention lol.When I get some good pics I will upload them, I have an online gallery of Ozzy hereYesterday I took him to a new training class, a class of just 6 dogs so he could get some individual attention. The trainer firstly couldn't believe he is only 6 months old, secondly never once did she look me in the eye, she had eyes only for Ozzy, thirdly she used Ozzy for every demonstration and lastly wanted to take him home and she's a Border Collie person!!. Yesterday I was simply known as Ozzys Dad
It seems everyone loves Dobermanns here and Ozzy gets a lot of attention which is great for his socialisation and good for the breed.No I have only one Dobe, the other Dobes are alive to me but they have all gone over the Bridge
I should really amend the list so it looks more like yours.

LOL! Poor fella, but that's what you get for having such a handsome dog. Ozzy sounds wonderful. I am sure he will melt hearts with everyone he meets. Regarding your past dobes, I understand about them being still alive. There is hardly a day that goes by that I don't think about my old friends. I have not looked at your album yet, but will when I post this. Thank you.

Jax was 22 pounds at 11 weeks (last week). I think it can be all over the board. I think a slow steady growth is much better on their joints.

Gorgeous buddy he sure is growing like a weed. In that last shot if it wasn't for the difference in colours it would be hard to tell who is mamma and who is baba, they look so much alike
Perhaps I should have changed Ozzys food a long time ago but even now with him on adult food for the last month Ozzy is still putting the pounds on, it makes no difference in Ozzys case...
