I have heard of the double the weight at 4 months + 10 lbs............but honestly I don't think it means all that much.
If someone over feeds their dog, and the dog gets no exercise it can be triple the weight at 4 months + 20, LOL
The best indication, as you have said, is to look at the parents..........but even this is not 100%. They will be as big as they as they will be

I do know the general rule for dobe pups growing is about 10 lbs for every month old they are (give or take a few) up until about 6-7 months...........then it slows way down.

Great, now y'all have me worried about Jordan. He is a shrimp. He's 33.5 lbs at supposed to be 18 weeks old. I wonder if he is possibly not as old as they said he was? He does have a big head and feet.

HB, Orson was only 10 lbs at 11 weeks because of the horrid care he was receiving!! He should have been closer to the 30 lb mark obviously........one month of living with us, getting regular Vet visits & care, and he was up to 30 lbs (now supposed to be closer to 40)

The point is now he is one year @ 73 lbs and still has to finish filling out. He caught up & got healthy............just take good care of them and they will be who they are going to be

I wouldn't feel like a good dobermom if I didn't worry at least three times a day though.

Ugh!! Tell me about it!! LOL
