I love his collar !!!!
Thanks. It's just an inexpensive one I found on Amazon. Good protection at the dog park from other dogs trying to bite him. Once he's full grown I'm going to find a similar but nicer one. This one doesn't have any padding on the inside and isn't real leather.I love his collar !!!!
Lol Ares has that too I call it his gobbler hahahahahha I'm sure they will grow into most of the gobbler lol but since they both have it I think it's normalThanks.

If you look closely you can see some skin sticking out above his collars. He has a bunch of loose skin there - kind of a turkey neck.
Is that normal at his age? Will he grow into that skin or is that a dobe trait that I was unaware of?
In many cases that will happen with a wide collar. Does it do that with no collar?If you look closely you can see some skin sticking out above his collars. He has a bunch of loose skin there - kind of a turkey neck.

Yesterday, I noticed I couldn't upload a new avatar photo. @VonDoom is working on the problem.Is anyone else having that problem?
I only really notice it when he has on his wide collar. He does have a bunch of loose skin there. @Tad and @AresMyDobie have dobes the same age and have the same loose skin, so I assume it's normal and that he'll grow into it.In many cases that will happen with a wide collar.

Lol ya my boy is 7 months and had a gobbler so I'm pretty sure he will grow into it lol he also has loose skin in other places he will grow into. We got months more of growing left if you think about it.Yesterday, I noticed I couldn't upload a new avatar photo. @VonDoom is working on the problem.

Puppies are hard to show and allowed a little mischief in the ringSo...today was Addie's first ever experience at a show. He was doing quite well, basically behaving himself even though he was very excited. This morning he was entered in the baby puppy class...he hasn't quite made the six month mark. Here's a picture of him during his first ring experience.

It's all going well, the judge was really good with the puppies, very calm. Addie stood quite well for his examination. Then it was time to move...oh oh! Can we say...frolic, play, leap? Anything but trot!

Oh well!...Tonight it's back in the ring after hours to work on his movement. Tomorrow's another day. I'm happy with him, I think it was a good start.
@Archer I think we're finally starting to get a better neck line.
