6 months 24.6kg (54.1lb) ---& 57cm / 22.5"
6.5 months 22.6kg (49.7lb) & 60cm / 23.75"
7 months 25.2kg (55.4lb) & ~62cm / 24.5"

8 months 25.5kg (56lb) & 63.5cm / 25"

Good news: Ashra has finally gotten her normal appetite back and is eating like there's no tomorrow.
Bad news: She's been losing weight (while eating like a horse) since the beginning of the week and so it looks like she has worms AGAIN. Vet appointment due this weekend :facepalm:

Here's a better stack attempt (tables are my friend), though a bit off with timing as she was eating the bait:
stack 8 months.webp
 
33 Weeks - 55 lbs.
34 Weeks - 56.5 lbs.
36 Weeks - 59 lbs.
38 Weeks - 59.5 lbs.
39 Weeks - 59 lbs.
40 Weeks - 60 lbs.
41 Weeks - 60.5 lbs.
42 Weeks - 60 lbs.
43 Weeks - 60 lbs.

The 1" bulk cotton rope I ordered from Knot & Rope Supply came a few days ago and she is loving her new toy. She is ambivalent about all of her other toys (the tugging ball things I got her last week were not interesting at all until she shredded one to bits on Monday), but a fairly cheap piece of rope just really excites her and she zooms around the cabin with it. She cuddles with it too.

I had stacked 2 wall knots in each end, but she got the outermost ones out pretty quickly, making for rather fluffy ends.

Callie has leveled off in the growth for now and I'm pretty sure she won't get any bigger in weight or height.

I'm hoping to get a few pictures posted for you all to check her out soon. I've been swamped at work. I also need to get her out and work her a little.

Suri is about 23 inches and 45 lbs... She is 1 year old.
Het mom used to be taller and her dad is way taller too... At which age does Dobermans stop growing?

As a rule the females are pretty much done at around a year, even though they will fill out a bit after that. With males it's usually around 18 months, and they will do lots of filling out after that. I doubt Suri will get too much bigger than that at her age, but she might still grow a little bit. :)

10 weeks - 14 lbs
12 weeks - 17.1 lbs
13 weeks (but 3 calendar months) - 21.8 lbs
16 weeks - 28 lbs
17 weeks (4 calendar months old in 3 days) - 29.5 lbs
20 weeks - 35.6 lbs
21 weeks - 37.4 lbs and 21 inches tall
22 weeks (5 calendar months last Saturday) - 38.8 lbs
24 weeks - 42.8 lbs and 22 1/2 inches tall.
26 weeks (6 calendar months yesterday) - 45.4 lbs
28 weeks - 48.2 lbs and approx 23 1/4 inches tall
31 weeks (7 calendar months last Friday) - 52.2 lbs and 24 - 24 1/4 inches tall
32 weeks - 54.4lbs
35 weeks (8 calendar months last Saturday) - 55 lbs and 25 inches tall
36 1/2 weeks - 57.3 lbs
39 weeks (9 calendar months) - 61.8 lbs
40 weeks - 59.6 lbs and still 25 1/4 inches tall
43 weeks (10 calendar months) - 60.0 lbs
46 weeks - 64.6 lbs 25 1/2 inches tall
47 weeks - 62.2 lbs (taken last Sunday)
1 year! - 63.2 lbs (Still not a fantastic eater here, I'm sure the heat isn't helping. She's a little ribbier than I'd like but I can't force her to eat.)

Well, we're 2 days from her actual birthday but I'm not sure I'll be able to get a weight that day so this will be her 1 year measurement! Will try to get a height measurement on her when we're down in AR as well as a nice stacked photo. But this will have to do for now. I will update at 1 1/2 and 2 yrs, though.

I took Buddy to the vets today, he has had a limp with his front leg for a few day, I think he jumped down the steps at my sons new house, anyway's she said she could not find anything obvious and just to rest it, also got him microchipped and weighed​

Looking great Judith! We've had a problem with all of our dogs (except Della) wanting to leap down the stairs and that's a problem since we live in a split entry. I hope his foot is okay.

thanks MB, you see he is not used to any stairs as he never goes upstair's at home , so when he went up my son's he just turned and jumped down about six of them onto gravel, the steps are on the right of this picture

Hope Buddy is better soon!!! Helio had a bout with Pan a couple weeks ago and we had to skip training since I did not want to work when he was limping.

I asked the vet if she thought it was Pan but she said she did not think so, I don't think they know too much about that over here, trying to rest him is like trying to put toothpaste back in the tube :running:, I am only walking him out for ten minutes at a time, so it's a good job the weather is bad or these short walks would drive me nuts, the vet also said I should cut his food down as he carrying too much weight 27 1/2" and 93lb , I thought he looked ok but now she has me paranoid that he is too heavy:shakinghead:, he has one meal a day at 5 o'clock he eats what he wants and if their is any left it is picked up
 
Poor Buddy, I hope he feels better soon. Personally, I don't think he looks like he's carrying that much weight to be stressing his joints - he just looks like a solid boy to me, although it's hard to judge just by pictures. Did the vet ever comment on his weight prior to his limp? I know I'm probably prejudiced with all the bad vet experiences I've had, with vets accusing me of wanting my dog to be fat because I complained to them about her constant weight loss (her handler also said she needs to put on weight as her ribs are clearly visible). It's not hard to judge your dog, and you can't really just say "okay such and such weight is too heavy for such and such height" it also has a lot to do with structure, like the difference between the weights of Euro vs American Dobes. Like 53kg/115lb Ozzy looks good, but try putting that weight on a normally 36kg/80lb American bred male.
