Duh OK, His size should have clued me in that it is a male. Sorry, had a brain fart.

Cassius:
Cassius is the Dobbie name, (thanks for the welcome) He is very healthy looking, shinny coat, playful when he's out his crate, bones don't poke out and dominate towards the mixed 30lb dog in the house. I guess I'm more in the dark because I've owned a rott in the past and was alot bigger at this age. Cassius is currently 18 1/2" tall from feet to shoulders. I guess I'm just a newbiw all the way around.

P.S. this is actually my second post. I posted a week or two before I got him. He's a great dog. Very smart but often tests his limits.

Well I just wanted to introduce myself and my soon to be doberman puppy. My name is Louis and am located in Vallejo. I am currently waiting on my 6 weeks old doberman puppy.  I have three more weeks (two until it's 8 weeks and an extra week for evaluation) I am very excited. He is purebred and comes from a champion line. This will be my first dobie but I've owned a couple rotts in the past. I want to do everything right. I will be looking to attend some puppy training (any info on classes will be appreciated).  Also I will post pics later
 

GR8DAME:
Thanks, Louis, I must have missed the first post.  ::) It sounds like your pup is happy and healthy, not to worry. Some lines of dobermans are finer boned, for example, the American show breeds are more slight than the german imports.
When I brought my first dane home I was obsessive about his weight, because no matter what I fed him, or how much, I could always see way too many bones through his skin. It took three vets and one trainer to get it through my head that he was just fine, and I needed to stop worrying. He is now a grand 140 LB 4 year old, and as healthy as a horse.
Enjoy your baby, and (hint, hint) I love puppy pictures ::)

I also have a doberman puppy "Big" and he is 10 weeks old and weighs 20 lb. We were told by one vet that he is small, but when we took him to see his brothers and sisters (from the same litter) he was more than twice their size...he looked like Clifford the big red dog. So i don't know what to think about his size. ???
