Yes, you read that right....

As y’all know, I have been toying with this idea for quite some time now. With the girls being close to home, I figure it is now or never.

I just can’t seem to like a quiet, normal life. Always inviting calamity and chaos once everything seems to settle down. Hahaha. But once everything irons out, I truly think it is all going to be worth it

I will be getting a red female from Melrae Doberman’s. The same breeder as JanS and Rits acquired their pups from. I feel quite fortunate to have been pointed in that direction from Rits and JanS and also that they gave the breeder great compliments about Ragnar and I. I believe the breeder could have placed these pups easily but she offered one to me based off of their recommendations. Thank you very much ladies!!

Don’t know too much on the pup except for she has two reds and a black from the litter. The one black is going to the studs owner and the breeder is trying to decide which one of the two females to keep for a show home. I believe they are 7weeks and will be cropped pretty soon. I told Melissa (breeder) that I am not in a hurry, we are in the peak of soccer season right now and pretty busy. But, I made sure to communicate that I am not turning her away, the pup will most definitely be priority.

I really like that this one will be NA/SA and I like the burgundy color and markings of JanS Doberman Phoebe. When I asked Melissa, she said this litter of reds will be a lot like Phoebe. Although I would love to have a NA red that matched Ragnars physique and shape, SA Dobermans have always caught my eye. So this is going to be very interesting.

I do not have any pictures of the two up for selection but she says she will send some soon.

So there you have it, I finally jumped on the wagon....lol, I apologized to the wife for what was about to happen for the next 15months. I just hope it’s not as crazy as what Ragnar did to us. That asshat turned us upside down for awhile. Maybe not, I think I am somewhat Doberman wiser now.
 
:congrats: Can't say I'm surprised though! I am also envious and will be getting more puppy fixes when you get her home. I predict that Ragnar taught you a lot and has set you up to cope with whatever surprises this new little one brings! When you get your first experience of Doberpup it all seems so deadly serious, when a lot of what we worry about is natural, normal and will pass with time and patience. At the time you Can't. Quite. Believe. That! :rofl:
 
OMG! :screamcat: I knew something was gonna happen with how your kids have been bugging you, but I thought for sure it would be a rescue situation. Now you’re on the hook for a hot tamale super spicy psycho puppy?! :facepalm:Can’t wait! :spit:
 
Sooo excited for you guys! As I said, get to training and enter classes asap and y'all will do fine! You may not have updated pics of the pups (which I'm dying to see!!) but there are pics of mom and dad ;)

I so agree... With everything said here I was well prepared for ... Well, hell. That a doberman would be far more trouble than any other breed. With having experience with a high energy dog like Java, I was prepared for THE WORST. It's been nothing but a wonderful experience. Anything bad that Ripley has done has been to be expected puppy antics that I quickly got better either puppy proofing or reinforcing with training. I think if you put in the foundations early on and stay consistent they'll prove to be great pups! Having experience with a high energy breed helps too.

Don't over worry yourself. I think the bigger adjustment will be traveling the new path of managing a two dog household. Just remember it's all fine and dandy to let them play!! But do things separate too. You want her to bond to you guys and not have any separation anxiety with Ragnar. I personally find it helps too to teach them when they can play so they aren't rough housing 24/7. Ripley would turn her lights off to anything else other than Paige until we started teaching leave it and "get Paige" letting her know she may engage play. It's worked out fantastically so Paige can exist without a puppy biting her nonstop lol. And Ripley's lights came back on to us :D
 
:wow::congrats: :woot:
You can do this! You've been through it already! I have no doubt!:thumbsup: Life with kids doesn't slow down until they're married and out of your house.:spit: May as well add to the chaos and enjoy! Have fun and take time to post pictures for all of us to enjoy too.:goodluck:

That’s an awesome statement.


but I thought for sure it would be a rescue situation.

I tried but the rescue place turned me down twice saying that I was not a fit owner because I pulled vac titers instead of vaccination shots. I tried to explain to them about titers but they are just too narrow minded.

@Rits
I emailed yesterday and she has not chosen which one yet, still too young and not yet cropped I believe. I told her to take her time! I am in no hurry! I did line up the transportation guy though. What a really nice guy and very inexpensive as compared to the $1,200-$1,500 quotes I have been given from Michigan to Louisiana.

I think so too.... I need to post a thread asking recommendations and suggestions with bringjng on a second Doberman. So much knowledge y’all and this board carries.

May as well add to the chaos and enjoy!

Those girls have been on me hard since Covid has locked everybody down. Payt is doing college from home. Kelsie is at Nicholls but comes home ALOT because the campus is pretty much locked down. No parties, get togethers or school functions and if they get caught doing that, they get in a shitload of trouble from the soccer coaches. Tristen is doing 3days at school and 2days at home. Man, they just kept coming at me with it.

I started doing a little research and Ragnar’s breeder did not have any but found a well respected handler that had a litter, the lovely @Panama linked me up with a wonderful breeder that just had a litter. And Rits and JanS directed me to Melrae. So it really all kinda fell into place, I did not push it at all, just kinda happened. I like it like that, means it was meant to happen.....
 
:wow:Wow that is so exciting!!!! :congrats::woot:Ready for not-one-quiet-moment- for some time again!:rofl::rofl:
Can't wait for pics and updates!!
:thumbsup::thumbsup:
 
I'm so excited for you!!! :woot:

This guy is excellent and she came out of the van clean and fresh smelling, unlike when they have to be flown here like our others have. He only charged $250 to bring her directly to our door, which is much less than the airline, not including having to provide a crate, which you don't with the transport guy.

Any thoughts on a call name yet?
