Archer's 9 Month (36 week four day) Measurements
Height: 27.75 in (He was kinds squiggly...not much growth from last month. Think his height has slowed down)
Weight: 76.3 lb (Vet's scale....dunno how accurate)
His chest seems to be filling out right now. The vet seems to think he's a slow grower and will be fairly big when he's finished....I still think he'll be tall and lanky.
View attachment 15478 Been taking prints of his feet at every milestone. First is three months. The second is six, the last is nine months. I'll do the final print at 12 months.

Not got any recent good photo's with the weather being horrid. Here's a video snapshot from the club last weekend. He's wearing a fursaver as we were practising our BH routine (only a fursaver or flat collar allowed)

Oh no!! I used black acrylic craft paint I bought at Hobby Lobby or Michaels. I grabbed a sponge and dapped the paint on his foot pads. Then I pressed them on a piece of paper towel to get most of the paint off. Once all the excess came off I was able to stamp his foot on the paper and get a good print. I did kind of press on the top of his toes and foot to make sure all of the pad touched. It helped that he is used to his feet being messed with and is very patient when I poke and prod on him. He's use to being abused for crafty-like things Hope this helps! Good luck...be sure to post the finished product.

GREAT! I used the same paint but I smeared a thin layer on a paper plate and then had him walk across the posterboard on the kitchen. I will have to do what you did with the sponge and papertowel. That will work better

[Marko1962]

[Ataro]

Wow she's HUGE!! Hopefully she will slow down soon.

I bloody hope so... I was just looking back over the last few pages and so far it looks like she's the biggest on here at 10 weeks old. I hope my comments on lack of bone in tall Euro bitches haven't come back to bite me in the arse and I end up with a 45kg/100lb female

Lol Raven was 16 pounds at that age. Mommas brining home an elephant.

I'm a bit worried her baby puppy collar won't fit her when I go to pick her up. Good thing I've already bought a 12-17" collar .
