Doberman puppy owners - track your weight gain here

Kai at 12 weeks old weighed in at 19 pounds.
For a while she was getting so tall she was looking like an emaciated spider.
The past couple of days she has thickened out.
I think she is going to stretch out again. I can't believe how fast she grows. She grows from the time I come home from lunch to when I get home from work.

What do you guys feed your 9 weeks old puppy? Please advise!

At 9 weeks he should have just come home from the breeder so it's best to keep feeding what the breeder was feeding for a while, then transition over to what you'd like to feed later.
We have many discussions in our nutrition section discussing different brands of food so it might be helpful to take a look there too.

Thanks! We are looking into royal canine puppy food, we might gradually add it to his regular food

My boy Cy is going on 8 months. he is around 26" in height and I think around 58/lbs.

I should upload his growth chart I kept for him since he started out so teeny tiny. I think he is more on the normal-ish side now.

forgot to post last week, we weighed Lily, at ten months, 58 lbs. she gained 4 lbs in a month, she weighed 54 at her spay at 9 months. she is as tall as Nexus now, which is about 26 inches. still a skinny little whip though!

Last week I took Dauntless to the vet, she is very healthy and at 4 months old she weighed in at a surprising 42.1 pounds!

I am EXTREMELY impressed with Trojans weight gain! I have a Kimbertal dobie as well and he is HUGE! He has just turned 5 months and weighs 65 pounds!

You definitely want to watch for too fast weight gain in a pup. Did it spurt up or has it been steady?

I have a male ( Kimbertal grandson) 5 months and tall and skinny. My breeder was VERY insistent I did not let him get too big too fast! At the end of the day he is 24 inches, 56 pounds( very tall and skinny!

Don't worry, they bounce up and down as they grow and don't really start filling out until they're between 1 - 3 years old. One day lanky, the next day looking plump, but it all levels off when they mature.

Thank you!! It's so hard to judge, at this point I just figure it is what it is! I am a little concerned the taste of the wild is upsetting his tummy!
