If this is in lbs. it sounds right on track. Slow and steady is always a good policy for pups.

Great thanks
My boy wasn't the heaviest growing up he turned 8 months today and is at 78 pounds and almost 28 inches he's no slouch so don't be consider as long as his ribs and haunches aren't protruding and he looks good that's what matter

definitely no ribs protruding thankfully, I guess he may just be slightly smaller but I'm sure he'll catch up. What food is your boy on?

The Doctor was 11 weeks yesterday and weighed in at exactly 20lbs and is 16". I think we are going to have a big boy.
Okay, I have to ask about "The Doctor's" name. I have a unique name for my Dobie too (for those who know me on here, it's another name we have for him, not Oji. My daughter actually came up with the name).
When people ask your Dobe's name, do you tell them The Doctor? If so, I know exactly the type of reactions you get.
Gaining over four pounds in a week is pretty fast compared to what mine did.
Actually, I know just what it's like to see much heavier Dobes on here. I have an 13 month old male that is 70 lbs. Unless he has dropped below that. Again.
Very strong little snot though. European working lines.
I should look back through this thread and find the weights I entered.

His registered name is Aragorn's Ten (Lord of the Rings and Doctor Who references), so we thought is would be cool to call him The Doctor. We call him "Doctor" when giving him commands and talking directly to him, but when referring to him it is always The Doctor. We have had to explain it to many people, but those that are Whovians, immediately catch on and think it is awesome!
I love it. I'm not a "Whovian" but I think the name is awesome, and I think original naming is great. Well, not for humans. That is just annoying.
Our unusual name starts with "Mr." You all on this forum should feel privileged. The only people on the planet who know the name I call my Dobe when I am talking to him (Oji) are me and... well, I guess my wife probably couldn't even tell you it.
Oh, you can see it. He's gonna be a stud.
Thank you. I need to do the same search.

At The Doctor's 12 week vet appt on Friday he weighed 21.2 lbs. I discussed with her about him possibly being underweight because I feel like he is showing too much ribcage and hipbone, but she seemed to think that he was fine. Even so, I have begun to transition him from the Blue Buffalo food to TOTW. Hoping to see more improvement when we go back in 3 weeks.

Lol I was gonna say that's a bit on the portly side for a female lol
Not terribly since the females mature quite a bit faster than the males.
