Thanks Jan, nice avatar btw...

He breaks my back but I'm still able to lift him and he lets me :D With my last Dobe (<-- Zach, him over there ) if you just put your arms around him he'd give you a warning... Ozzy is so ppl friendly he doesn't mind at all (for now) :)

I sure am getting lazy - a friend bugged me about sending pictures of Ashra which I hadn't taken since a month ago, so I gave in and took some.

Here she is: she'll be 6 months old at the end of the week (she still very much has a puppy face), currently 24kg/52.8lb and 54cm/21.5" at the shoulder. She looks a bit skinny because she apparently got stressed and lost some weight when I was boarding her, so just starting to put it back on.

Good luck to Max & I...we're gonna need it!!!;)

Hey everyone! Sorry it's been so long, my iPad went out and apple is taking forever to fix it, so I haven't had any Internet for a while.. Rooster is doing great, he has hit a wall in his weight gain but he's still only 7.5 months so I'm sure he will hit another spurt soon, in the meantime his legs have gotten awkwardly long lol, and his chest hasn't grown out yet so he looks kinda silly. Ill try to post pics soon!

Baba is 11 months old... did not weigh him but think he is the same... around 95! he is however shorter than I had previously measured!
Got a yard stick and stood him next to it with a ruler on his withers this time and he is just exactly at 27" tall and Gemma? is ONLY 25.5" tall... she is NOT 26.5" tall! wow.... a yard stick makes a lot of difference. Now of course they could be "shrugging down' a bit since its a weird thing I am doing to measure them.. but I think they are not as tall as I had previously thought!

Baba is still looking good, square, 'cobby' ;)

How I measure my dog is to put him side on to a door jam, get his head up into his alert position then get a hardback book and put the book up against the jam, lowering it till it touches doggys withers, mark door jam, measure with steel tape. Using the book makes sure you get everything nice n square, simple repeatable and accurate :D
 
I tried measuring with a ruler but Ashra keeps moving away, so I found something she frequently stands next to (an arm chair near the water bowl, and the leg of the table I work on), and marked out cm up the sides with a pencil. I just move her over a bit, and get a fairly accurate measurement.
