I've been concerned about the rapid weight gain of our dog. I read that they should gain about 10 lbs per month but our dog gains 4 to 5 lbs per week he is now 6 and a half months old and 115 lbs. I am concerned about growth problems, hip displacea etc.. i do see other dogs that seem to be in the same growth rate but it is hard to tell. There is not much available to compare with. i can still see his ribs when he walks but wow he is huge to me and my wife. Is this normal?

It should not be a problem. They often grow fast at that age and don't have problems just because they are big. Doesn't sound like your dog is overweight. The hip/elbow scores of the parents are a better indicator to look at.
