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

Marko: the boy is definitively "Cobby"! Never had a Cobby dobie before, but this one is one brick of a boy.
He is not going to make it to 27.5" is my guess and he is gonna hover around 95 ish... His topline is leveling out slowly.. his tail looks low set, but I see that its changing.
I noticed a few other of our 'mob' of Dobie puppies out here with that low tail set look, at this age, but Gemma had it too and by the time she was about 18 months, she flattened out. He carries his tail low often, but when he gets 'agitated' it comes up nice and pretty.
He had an incident of sorts at the Dog park where a dog was clearly wanting to play with him big time and for some reason, Baba got it in his mind that he was going to 'bully' this guy and that dog was just not going to be intimidated and simply persisted in wanting to incite a 'game', but Baba went all 'Macho" big time... it was so funny to watch, because he has been so submissive till now. So his personality is changing! he is not gaining weight anymore but he is maturing and is taller than Gemma by an 1.5"... his legs are shorter though and his bone is twice hers in girth!
Ozzy must be a literal monster! he is enormous! I am curious how he is doing in his schutzhund studies?
He is so beautiful and getting more and more impressive as the month go on!

Yes Ozzy is going through similar changes, he is maturing very nicely, his top line is getting stronger, his tailset appears to be heading more north, his chest is dropping and his personalty is changing. Normally when another dog gets a bit naughty with him, Ozzy will just silently turn his head away but now he still turns away but his hackles are up and he growls grrrrrr, of course I try to avoid putting him into this position as I do not want him turning into an aggressive big Dobe that I cannot trust around other dogs - been there done that with my first Dobe who had an 'experience' around Ozzys age and that 'experience' turned him, any male dog that did not back down within a couple of seconds resulted in blood, not nice not cool and I do not want a repeat with Ozzy...

He's still plodding on with his Schutzhund, he loves it, particularly the 'protection' part but it's just a hugely exciting game to him as he's still being worked in the prey phase, far to young to be moved on to the next phase of defence work.

Crap! I keep forgetting to get a weight on River. Might just have to skip this week.

 

[StarlightDobe]

last weight on the girls is from a week or so ago, Miss Bella topped at 76.5 lbs and Miss Nexus was 66.7, my petite little girl! Bella has a little height over Nexie but not too much. I dont know the exact height but will try at some point to get it. I think 24 to 25 in or thereabouts.

*There's no point in posting Ashra's weight, as she lost a lot due to having worms and is still under her previously recorded weight, but since she's continuing to sprout upwards I thought I might as well continue posting on height.

Thank you! I am still having trouble with that left one. I hope they will look fine once she is older. Still posting away, although I am tired of it!

Hi everyone.... MaximusII had his first birthday on April 19th. His weight now is 82 pounds of pure doberman. He is fixed and has a micro chip. They checked to make sure all baby teeth are out and clipped his nails. I know I haven't been on the site for a while, but I wanted to check in and say hi. I like to say Max is fixed and fiesty. Bruiser pictured to the left is still a good happy go lucky doberman.

Thank you! Yes, she is going through a very leggy period. Funny because she isn't tall. Just my petite little girl.

Well since my last post my puppy has a broken toe so he is not exercising much and therefore eating only 4 cups day. Roku weighs 77lbs and is about 27.5 inches tall. I bought a Weigh South VS-2501 scale. I've been weighing every living thing except my wife. For example... My fat blue healer Porter weighs 61 and I weigh 158.2.

I've kind of lagged in keeping track, Ranger who turned 10 months yesterday is now 80 pounds, I'll have to check his height, but he is now the tallest of our four.
