Bolero Sassafras Tea For Two
I have to give Kudos to Ray and Nancy Denny of Bolero Dobermans for giving this pup a fantastic first 10 weeks. She is confident, inquisitive (she has to investigate EVERYTHING) and fearless. We picked her up in the late afternoon and arrived home after dark. We set her down in the house, she examined every room in it three times obviously a just a bit disoriented but was stretched out on the floor sleeping within two hours like she'd been here all her life.
She's a handful now though. She only has two speeds, 100mph or asleep. There have been a couple of casualties. The bottom corner of a leather ottoman and a pair of slippers.

A short break between postings.
Wow, a show crop there! Impressive!

I am wondering how long I will have to keep up the posts. That picture is after only 6 days. We left the ears open for a couple of hours and they never folded and when I would call to her she would raise them to attention and turn them forward. They're posted again now--will probably remove and re-post this coming Sunday but I wasn't expecting them to stand like that after one post.
The breeder took care of the cropping and the first post. Walked us through it when it was done the first time. Mine doesn't look quite so good as theirs. LOL But they said they'd seen the ears successfully trained on females in as little as 4 posts. just curious.

She looks like a little angel sleeping in that one picture doesn't she? That was right after she bit a hole in an air bed.

They usually need to be posted through the teething process which can end around 5-7 months of age. The ear thickness usually impacts the standing as well. Also the length of crop. Do I remember right that you have a long crop? If so this takes the longest.
