Doberman Growth Chart

July 20th, 2008 Posted in Doberman Information

Some people have asked about a doberman growth chart detailing the typical doberman weight ranges. I have searched quite a bit online and could not find one. My guess is that it doesn’t exist since the weight of the doberman pinschers breed varies so much. Even if a doberman growth chart did exist, it would be a pretty rough estimate anyway. There are full grown dobes who at their ideal weights are 58lbs and others 88lbs, so you can see the weight range difference here. Typically an adult female is about 60-70lbs and a male about 70-80lbs.

A better guide for doberman puppies and adult dogs is to use the body condition score chart (BCS). You want to aim for a rating of 5.

The ideal weight is seen when:

Ribs palpable without excess fat covering. Waistobserved behind ribs when viewed from above. Abdomen tucked up when viewed from side.
