I found a website that has growth information for Great Danes.
HEIGHT & WEIGHT DATA FOR DANES (http://www.chromadane.com/ht&wt.htm)
When reading the below, remember that all pups follow their own guide, and grow at their own rate--other guides (listed below chart), are better for knowing what is "right" than just ht/wt data.
That said, Here is a general guide:
Birth weight: 1-2 lbs
Week 1: 2-3 lbs
Week 2: 3-5 lbs
Week 3: 4-7 lbs
Week 4: 5-8 lbs
Week 6: 10-20 lbs
Month 2: 15-30 lbs (13-17")
Month 3: 30-45 lbs (17-22")
Month 4: 50-65 lbs (21-25")
Month 5: 65-85 lbs (25-30")
Month 6: 70-100 lbs (27-32")
Month 7: 75-110 lbs (27-33")
Month 8: 80-115 lbs. (27-34")
Month 9: 85-120 lbs. (28-34")
One year: 90-135 lbs (28-36")
Full grown: 100-190 lbs (28-38")
For males: 140-170 lbs. & 33-36" is typical.
For females: 110-140 lbs. & 30-33" is typical
Its inspired me to try and keep track of his weight and height (at the shoulders) as he grows. I'll be taking pictures every once in a while in the same location (or at least as often as he'll sit still for me!), hopefully similar poses so you can get a good idea of how he's changing.
14 weeks, 38 lbs, 21.5"
