LOL Diva, I have no doubt that he has a lot of filling out to do, and he says thank you for the ball comment. :D At the UKC show in Oct they were all asking where they were, but hey it was cold and the poor boy was only 4 months old at the time. ;)

LOL poor boy! well he showed them didn't he? He made up for the ones he did not seem to have at 4 months alright! :)
Baba has developed quite a bit too... He cracks me up with those things! they were little marbles and now we have golf balls! :)
hardy har har! Boys... gotta luv em!
Those ears nearly there yet? probably not... they are super long, Gemma was 11 months in posts... so Albert will be at least that long or longer! He sure looks handsome and I bet that Della girl adores him? She is so sweet... we love Della girl too! :love:
 
Mark: either you are shrinking? or Ozz is STILL growing! man that is a big puppy there! what a bruiser! you have your work cut out for you there dude!
What kind of tug toys did you get? I have a bite sleeve and some two handled tugs for Gemma, she is the 'Tug Queen", but she has taught Baba how to give her a run for her money now! When he really gets after it and shakes his head hard, I just cannot hold onto that thing and he about jerks my arm right out of the socket!
They crack heads every now and again and yesterday they were tugging so hard and shaking that they cracked noggin's so hard that Gemma actually yelped and cried a bit there... His head has given me a black lip and a black eye already! I look like my husband abuses me!
I have to tell people who ask what happened that my dog smacked me in the head with his head and I can see the raised eyebrow's like 'Yea sure your DOG did it'...
I know that they are thinking Pasha My husband musta popped me... if they only knew my husband and I bettter! I might pop him!!!! but he would never pop me! but my dogs sure has hell do!! :lmao:
 
Lol it's probably a combo of the two, I'm shrinking as I get older and Ozzy's getting bigger, I'm not that tall at only 5'10 but Ozzys still growing and making me look smaller... I got him a 2 handled tug and he loves it, I've also ordered a smaller flatter tug for the convenience of being able to stick it in a pocket instead of the one I have now that is the right size but sticks out of my pocket quite a bit, looks like a truncheon it does, I just make sure I don't stick it down my pants in case I might impress someone or get arrested :/

Also lol I've not bashed heads yet but he has pulled me over, once forward and once backwards on my bum when he let go, that hurt.. :D

When we train we buy old fishing vests from army supply stores and stick our tugs in the huge pocket in the back. You look silly wearing it but it has a million pockets so you can carry everything with you.

LOL, thanks! I love those little boys too. :)

The ears are standing great, but the tips still want to curl in so it probably will be a while yet.

That River is a pretty girl!

We stopped by the vets on our way to the park yesterday to get weighed. Drake is 27 1/2 inches and weighs 75 lbs. He is 17 months old today. I guess we are pretty much done in height but I suspect he will continue to fill out. That is if he ever slows down, he is pretty much a hurricane on legs.

Spock
14 weeks (3 1/2 months for hrd) 33.4 lbs
16 weeks (4 months for hrd) 41.1 lbs.
20 weeks (5 months for hrd) 54 lbs
24 weeks (6 months for hrd) 60.6 lbs
7 months 60.2 lbs
8 months 64.7 lbs, possibly at 26 in
9 months 71 lbs, 27 1/4 in
10 months 76.1 lbs, looks like 27 1/2 in
11 months 77.6 lbs,
1 year 83 lbs and it looks like at or a little over 28 in
13 months just under 80 lbs
16 months 82.5 lbs, just over 28 in tall
20 months, 86.4 lbs still measuring about 28 1/4 so I think that's as tall as he'll get.
22 months 84.4 lbs
24 months 77.4 lbs and 28 1/4 inches tall. This seems to be a really great weight for him for now. He's definitely still filling out muscle-wise.

Wow, Jess, is that right that Spock is 77.4#!? I was thinking he looked like he had thinned out a bit the last time I saw him!

Well if that is correct, 77 pounds, I am thrilled to see that, and thrilled that you think he is at a good weight. I am hoping Marco ends up right about there! I notice at Spock's 7 month weight, he was right around where Marco is... :dance:

Yup! It was pointed out to me that he was a little too heavy when he was at 80+lbs. He'd lost a lot of his up-tuck and was showing signs of being overweight. Since he's still in the filling out stage we're trying to figure out how much food to give him. I actually upped him by 1/4 cup a day because he was showing a little too much rib. Marco is developing nicely, I don't think you have anything to worry about. How tall is he now?
 
Had Dylan at the vet the other day. At 17 months, he's 80 pounds on the nose and just a hair under 30 inches. Long and lean! In good news, we did a complete blood panel including a total thyroid panel, and everything is beautiful. :thumbsup: The thinness along his back and sides can be chalked up to a red coat in the winter.

Callie's weigh in:

13wks - 26.6#'s
14wks - 28.0#'s
15wks - 32.2#'s
16wks - 39.0#'s (21.0in)
17wks - 40.4#'s (22.0in)
18wks - 44.5#'s (23.5in)
19wks - 46.5#'s (24.0in)
20wks - 50.0#'s (25.0in)
21wks - 54.0#'s (25.6in)
22wks - 55.0#'s (25.6in)
23wks - 57.0#'s (26.0in)
24wks - 59.0#'s (26.0in)
25wks - 59.5#'s (26.0in)
26wks - 60.0#'s (26.6in) 6mo old
30.5wks - 63.5#'s (26.6in) 7mo old

During this last month Callie has had her spayed surgery and I asked the vet about her height being stable for quite a while and he said that it was perfectly normal and that Callie would probably still grow a little but real slow.
When I asked him about her weight he mentioned that she might lose a little with the surgery but would also slow down in the weight gain but again still gain slowly. Not anything I really didn't know already...although I have to admit I didn't even think about her weight before and after surgery.

He weighed her before surgery and she weighed 66#'s and although Callie's appetite didn't change at all other than the night she came home after surgery the vet said it is all in the chemistry within her body.

Makes sense I guess.
