Doberman puppy owners - track your weight gain here

Oops...we measured only height which is about 2.8 feet...is this the right height for an almost 6 month dobe...we are a bit concerned at this time since we would really like to see him grow into a big tall boy
Top of standard is 28 inches tall. You don't want them to big or they are at greater risk for health problems.
 
We measured from the nape of the neck to the floor...my daughter calculated at around 64 cms...is this the correct height at almost 6 months
 
How tall is TD now ? Growing like a weed lol

Just measured and he is around 27.5". I was not expecting that! I knew he had just shot up, but to be that close to the standard makes me worried.

His weight is low though. I just upped his food because he has only gained 10lbs over the past 2 months. I am hoping when I take him in to the vet to get weighed it says something higher. He is currently on par with Oji! [emoji5]

Awwww how old is he again I think Ares stopped growing around 9 months if I can remember right. I think @Drogon was around the same and they were both (if I remember right.) 28 inches lol

He just turned 8 months. I was expecting him to reach 28" a little later, just based on his growth up to this point compared to others. But, he is proving to definitely follow his own path!

I guess I should make an official weight check-in post for tracking! Lol

24 & 1/2 inches...maybe closer to 25"...he started squirming a bit!

Does that sound about right (average)? He could probably eat 1/2 cup more on breakfast or dinner...I think I'll do that tonight. Have you measured his little long distance girlfriend lately?

Awwwee!!! More pics please!! :)
Not yet this week! I do my weekly measurements on fridays (yay tmrw!). I feel so silly but i really look forward to it every week! I even mark it on the wall... hahaha i dont even do that for my human kiddos!!! :eek::bag: I just recently upped her food a half cup each meal too.. she's a bit more sensitive to dietary changes so ive been experimenting a little with it. What do you feed and how much? She always seems starving so its cool to have a same age reference!!!

Wow!! Thats so cool!! Well if you ever are in NY we have to have a playdate for the puppers! I have a big [well for NY, :D ] fenced yard they can run around in!! @PandoraB 's Luna is exactly a month older too so it's been fun watching them grow up here!! We've been posting their progress each week and have been talking about our similar puppy issues!! Oh if you have his geneology info or pedigree chart there was also a thread that we all compared and found that a handful of our dogs were all related! :D
Common Ancestry

Well I came home from Cuba to a monster sized dog that seemed to double in size in the week I was away! :shock: I haven't had time to weigh her and I must confess I'm very reluctant to get on the scales after a week of too many Pina Coladas and too few work outs! My guess is that when I finally suck it up and weigh her she will be 50 lbs or more. I just can't get over how tall she is either! I am currently at the cottage for a quick overnight visit to see if any pipes froze in the frigid temperatures that I missed last week but will try to do a weigh in when I get back home tomorrow.

Luna is 6 months old today! :party:

So are there any riveting posts/threads that I should read - there is no way I'll be able to catch up on everything! :)

LOL, I'm just the opposite. First thing in the morning with no clothes and using the bathroom first. :D
You should see her latest backer rod posts - they are sooooooo long it looks crazy! I should maybe trim them. :D
I would trim them down so they don't bump on things they don't need to. I assume your daughter did well with it then?
