Bob's posts are much better now, getting close to loosening the bridge a bit.

Kai is at 19 weeks and weighed 36 pounds.
Skinny Skinny Skinny.

 

[AresMyDobie]

Ok Ares is 25 inches and 46 pounds

 

[DeniseA]

Wow, he looks so grown-up! 17 weeks old today, 21 inches, 41 pounds. Whatever happened to my sweet, fuzzy puppy?

 

[Edens_Daddy]

Eden got her weighed on Sunday and at 13 weeks she is 22lbs

 

[DeniseA]

@Edens_Daddy ...they sure do grow fast, don't they?

ps, love your picture...such a lady with those crossed limbs!

 

[Oh Little Oji]

I dropped off a poop sample at the vet today Denali is actually 70 pounds. I had tried weighing him the other day on my scale at home. That's a 3 pound gain in a month and a half. It's really slowed down now

I was gonna say. He's still heavier than Oji, who is now 10 1/2 months. But at 70, they're the same weight.

It varies so much from dog to dog that it would be impossible to accurately answer that. Probably about 25 - 26" tall and about 60 - 70#, but that's a very rough average.

Beautiful!

Two swimming lessons so far, not too great. It does look like he has webbed paws though.

 

[DeniseA]

@Larryh Thank you...have to admit I agree!

How far into the water have you managed to get him? My boy has yet to get his belly wet but I'm persevering!

 

[henleyb8]

Hi Denise, we hold Bob in the water and he paddles like crazy. Now and then his form is correct and that's when the breeder let him make forward progress. But he doesn't seem too happy with the process, I'm not so sure either, I'm kinda of in the gradual school of getting familiar with the water. However we live at the beach and despite getting knocked over by incoming foam his first day! He's messing around the edge of the Atlantic in a more natural way. ;-) We live in Rincon PR. I've they can't float and aren't good swimmers because of that but was surprised to see webbed paws like my Lab.

My first doberman, an adult rescue, did learn to swim but it was never a real strong point. She loved the water though. I take my boy to the lake and just stand in the water...it's taken five trips to get him to come in past his knees but he's doing that now. I wish I'd started younger.

This is a great video...

Wow your guy is doing great on that board ! I would love to get him one of those boards for the pool too , he loves water !

 

[Firestar Dobe]

Dauntless is 5 months old today and is 23 1/4 inches tall and weighs 60.1 pounds!

 

[Drogon]

Drogon is 6 months old yesterday and weighs 70 pounds today

Started a nice thread around Obedience and Protection training.
So far we're just interested in an obedient dog as a member of the family.
As long as there are no drawbacks for Bob not getting Protection training.
The thread for this is Obedience vs Protection...not exactly accurate as they would both be taught as we have learned.

 

[Oh Little Oji]

This is ridiculous. Oji is 11 1/2 months old and has actually lost weight. Today he weighed 67.5 pounds. I am reading of 5 and 6 month olds that are his weight.

He's healthy as far as I can tell, and has had the regular vet visits. He doesn't look malnourished. Looks proportionate, but has the typical lacking depth of chest. Really lacks width though.

I just think I wound up with a small male (dammit!!!!).
