I have a doberman thats really small. not sure what if he's actually a doberman but the vet said hes too big for a min pin. he also has blue eyes which is not a characteristic of a doberman. Please help! has anyone had one that looked like that? what do they look like now?
I thought of that too, CR, but I hope the vet would pick up on it if the puppy was young enough that they haven't changed color yet vs flagging it as a sign of a mixed breed.
How old is your puppy, dm? I'm assuming he's black?
Pictures really would help. Not only can you judge a puppy's condition from that (too skinny, stunted looking etc) but sometimes you can pick up differences in head shape or body proportion which help you guess whether the dog is probably a pure-bred or mixed dobe or even something else entirely. There are a lot of breeds who are black and tan (black and rust).
Wow, that seems super small. I got my puppy at 8 weeks and he was 13lbs when we took him to the vet the following day. Like others have said, pictures would help a lot! What's his age? Is he eating properly, and how long have you had him?
5lbs seems VERY small. My puppies are 5lbs and they're not even 3 weeks old yet.
