Marko: great photos.... Ozzy is an enormous lug of a boy! I think he has caught up with Baba and is passing him by!
Lol! I have not weighed in the Baba but once a month now, so next weigh in will be next week.. probably tuesday! He is 8 months as of that day!
He is lingering at around 27" tall, just slightly taller than Gemma the monster red head... I now know that male Euro Dobies are much much bigger than even the big'un Females..... like my girl!
Gemma looks 'normal size' now considering her male counter part is as big as she is at 8 months.
The slow and grow phase is now entered into!
Baba's growth will slow down quite alot now and I expect that he will weigh in at maturity at around 110-ish... give or take a couple pounds. He will also probably top out in height at 28" ish... which based on the info I now have of the Euro bloodlines, will be right in the norm. I think Ozz-man is going to get up to around 115-ish.. could be 120... but probably not more than that and if he is kept in tact? he may be trimmer. The intact males have that testosterone hormone regulator to keep them trimmer than neutered males.
So if Ozz-ster is going to be neutered? keep him trim when he reaches around a year... cut way back on his food ration probably at least half of what he eats now... I too have cut back on Baba's rations now and he eats only once a day and he is down to 1/2 lb of meat if mixing 3-4 cups of kibble or he eats 1.5-2 lbs of raw meat when he is on raw only. He used to eat about 8 cups a day and then cut back to 6 cups and now back to 4 cups. He is very active but he is a chow hound and will eat anything and everything he can manage to scarf down if I give it to him. the boy loves his chow!

I reckon it weighs 5 to 10 pounds, getting thick and muscular now. His tail isn't that bad in the house, sometimes when we have visitors or when one of us comes in from work and he's really excited his tail resembles a propeller, round and round it goes and deadly, woe betides the thigh or private bits that gets a whack!!. Most of the time it resembles a 'C' shape with the tip of his tail almost touching his back. It's funny seeing where his tail is during his growth period, when he's in a long body phase it looks like the root of his tail is sliding down his croup with the 'C' shape of his tail sticking out behind him but now as he's maturing and his back is getting straighter and more level his tail root is higher, the 'C' is more vertical with his tip almost on his back. Here's a pic of where he is now...
Haha, you're supposed to copy and paste it from your previous post and just add the new one.
We're down to weighing Albert once a month now too since I physically can't lift him (or not easily) anymore, and I don't want to ask Hubby to do it every week, even though he doesn't seem to mind.
Lately I've been away from home working on weigh in day and Callie isn't the easiest "lil" girl to get steadied on the scale. Once a month will suffice.Haha, you're supposed to copy and paste it from your previous post and just add the new one.

Hi Jess, this is unrelated, but where did you get the cushion that is in this pic? I would like to get one. Thanks!
The girls in the office said he looks good. Happy

Saava Baba weighed in today at 8 months.... he has lost 1.5 lbs...
he is 89.6 lbs and the boy finally totally hikes his leg now! Hikes it all over the place! even on my pant leg today at the dog park! Bastard!
so as one would expect that rapid weight gain of the pre- 6 months age range has stopped and he will now slowly gain weight till he sexually mature at around 2 years of age... might hit 105-110 maybe...
but he is the flying doberman around here every chance he gets he is leaping for joy to play a game with Gemma Rose his 'sweet heart' now.. he sniffles her, licks her face, flemens/chatters teeth at her smell and he just thinks she is gods gift to himself!
funny dude... but still a momma's velcro boy and must be where ever I am! no matter where! Baby Huey!

I got Dylan at about a week shy of 7 months, and he was all legs and head. Very awkward stage for him. He was just under 60 pounds and about 27 inches at the shoulder. He's now almost 17 months old, a tad under 80 pounds and a sliver under 30 inches at the shoulder. He put on all the height by 10 months of age. Most recently I've just seen a gain in mass. His hips, shoulders, neck and chest have just really put on some size.
He's the first dobe I've had. What can I expect of his growth from here on out? You think he's reached his full height and will just continue to fill out? Is he done at this age? I don't really care how big he gets, I'm just curious about how long they continue to gain weight and grow. Any possibility he'll get taller? His sire was about 95 pounds, but leggy and athletic in build. Dam was about 75 pounds and of average build. Did I slow or alter his growth by neutering at 10 months?

Rooster is now 22 weeks (5.5 months), 64 lbs! We took him to the dog park today and there was an American blood dobie girl there that was 6.5 months and she was a little shorter than him and very long and lanky, it was awesome to see an American and a German blood puppy (okay half German) next to each other. Rooster is so stocky and think boned. I'll try to post new pics soon.
Also we are currently fostering a dobie named ruby. She's 2.5 years old, docked tail natural ears and VERY sweet. She just wants to spend the entire day asleep in your lap. I'll make sure to post pics of her too =]

Erin: he is lovely! a very pretty boy! elegant and stately looking! You did just the opposite by neutering him at 10 months... you probably got a bit more height than you would have with him had you waited till he was over a year to be neutered, but you were right on that cusp of growth plate closure at 10 months.
Some vets suggest waiting till they are around 12-14 months to neuter, to make sure growth plates in legs are closed and others say neuter them before their hormones kick in. You did give him a possible height boost from that surgery at that age, but it would be a discussion for another thread!
He is not mature truly till he is around 3 years old and typically neutered males are heavier than intact males because they are not as active, but that again is just a 'rule of thumb' or a "boiler plate' approach.
He is lovely no matter what and he wont be a big heavy boy as does not look to be his genetics! he is really stunning!

Happy to help! We bought it from here in the medium size: http://www.fetchdog.com/pet-supplies/dog-beds/orthopedic-dog-beds/double-dog-ortho-sofa/H10084. So far its holding up really well even with all the rough play and constant use from two Dobes. Even when it wears out I'll probably buy another one. Its a good bed for the price. I'd like a little thicker ortho pad but it is removable so once it does wear out I can just put in a new one.
