| | Alpha | Does this body make my head look big?
Ok, this is my first boy dobie. I know he isn't show quality, and I know he is suppose to be bigger than the girls. I also know that bigger isn't better, and trust me we are ready for the growing to stop already. I actually think he is about average to a little large. But wow he has a big head, I mean do they grow into their heads? I know they grow into their feet, into their ears, and even into their nubs, but is it just me or does Huckleberry have a big as$ head?
The pictures aren't great, ohh he is 8 months old, about 85 pounds, and (if I measured right), stands at 28". But from the tip of his nose to back of his head is 11 1/4 inches.   
This one just shows how he won't accept that he can't fit in the recliner anymore..  Sent from my iPhone using Petguide.com Free App |

 | His head looks fine to me - Males do tend to have larger heads

| Yep, he looks perfectly normal to me ...right down to cramming himself into that recliner.
You really should stop cheaping out, break down and buy him a bigger recliner so he will be more comfortable!!! Shame on you! | |

| It's just an optical illusion. His head is fine, it's that barbie doll recliner you've got him in. | |

| He looks fine to me, but I'm no expert. Relax and enjoy him. I think at 8 months and 85 lbs. he's pretty big. Oliver weighed 75 lbs. at 9 months.

| I think his head looks fine as well, and remember, he still has filling out to do, so if you are concerned keep in mind that his shoulders/chest/everything will broaden. | |
