Doberman puppy owners - track your weight gain here

[Denissov43]

No recent photos to add, but Baba weighed in today at one of the vet offices and he weighed in at 92.6 lbs... I weigh him at two different vets offices as the other vets scale I weigh him on usually comes out a bit heavier...
so who cares about exactness at this point anyway!
He has not been measured but he is now noticeably taller than Gemma when standing at attention adn both are standing in tandem... so my guess is over 27 3/4" or 28" but he is cobby dude!
he will be 9 months old tomorrow!

Gemma got her 2 yr Holter monitor testing back and she is DCM clear no VPC's and NO signs of occult DCM, very good holter monitor. This is the second heart test. First was done at a year...
Hooray!

We were discussing this in another thread and it would be interesting if everyone checked into this thread to post their puppies weight and age. Of course all dogs vary, but I thought it would be a good way to keep track your your own pups weight and see how they compare with other pups their age.

I scanned my notes (scribbles?) of Boris and Della's puppy weight and it's interesting how small Boris was compared to Della at the same ages, but he really started gaining at the 5 - 6 month mark, and I don't think Della is going to have spurts like that.
As you can see, she weighs over 10# more than Boris did at this age.

Anyway, here's what I have to date and I hope the rest of you check in regularly to post your pups progress as well.

I just started tracking Trojan.. My new Kimbertal pup..

11 weeks 28.2
12 weeks 30.8
13 weeks 33.6 (Has the runs as well) Could be more I suppose

He is out of Pierce Patrick who is about 105/110.. Bitch is out of Wiking who is 110 as well.. Only had him a little over 2 weeks and he looks to be SUPER NICE, great temprement..

Just got Zeus weighed, hes 70lbs...... The more I look at him the more I think he could do with gaining a bit more... so upto 2.5lbs a meat a day it is. He is jus over 8 months old, anyone else think this is slightly underweight hes bang on with height, practically done now.

 

[Marko1962]

I have a chart compiled with the average weight and height of male Dobes and would you believe it that Zeus is bang on target for 8 months at 70 Ibs. The average height for an 8 month old is 26.5 inches. That chart finishes with adults averaging 93 Ibs. Dunno if that helps

Thanks Marko . I feel like im starving the poor lad cause everyone elses dobes seem to be bigger than Zeus!! lol! Some days i think he looks in proportion then others thin. Think its all to do with the raw diet.... I'll jus see how he goes I'll up it a bit and see then if he looks any better for it

Wow he's looking great Marco!

I guess I could add that Della was back down to 66# the other night when I took her to the vet, which is perfect for her size and structure. She was up to 73# after we lost Boris, but she also turned into a couch potato then. Once Albert came along it helped her get her girlish figure back.

River looks great! Does she still seem petite to you? Or could it be you are used to a male? She seems perfect to me.

I think part of it is that I am used to an oversized male. But she is on the smaller side measuring in just within the standard. But petite is better than oversized and her smaller stature fits my short size better. When I train Spock I feel like his nose is almost to my shoulder.
