Random Pet Photo of the Day - 2020 - post yours!

[Lizbeli]

Did a hike today at Abrams Rock in Mass. We were only there for an hour and skimmed the surface. I plan to go more.

We met a few other hikers and dogs. One was a doberman! However, that male wasn’t fixed and I think Jasper sensed something. So the greeting seemed okay until the other dog approached from the side. Jasper did some barking “get away” warnings. Male on male dominant breed greetings. It could have been worse!



Still, he did good. It won’t deter me from bringing him again. He can’t like every dog he meets.

No, and when they are wary of another dog you have to trust their instincts. Often they are picking up tiny cues we don't get!

My heart is with you @Lizbell - edited to say this is about your dad.

Albert stole her bull stick after he finished his. It wasn't long before she got it back. LOL

Laying the sweet eyes on thick.


She's a little bit lippy at times other times her mouth is dry so we will see.

@Rits Oh man she really knows how to do the sweet face! Im going to bet she got some lovin after that photo

@Rits is "lippy" or "dry" something for showing?? Is that a dumb question?

@Rits re: the Sweet Eyes photo, as I've said so many times how Asha has very little interest in cuddle or sweetness, she was almost a year old before she did this. Almost brought tears when she did. I'm happy to say though she does it at least once or twice a day now. @LifeofRubie I think that the dry mouth (standard for Doberman) means tight lips, not floppy loose flews. Rubie looks very dry - Moo does not. @Rits correct me if you are referring to something different?

 

[LifeofRubie]

@Ravenbird I understand floppy flews

Now that's a pin up pose if I ever saw one!

@LifeofRubie
It all should be dry from my understanding but yes her flews are a bit excessive at the moment and may always be but she's a puppy so I expect some loose skin.

From the illustrated standard: "The lips, including the flews, should be tight-fitting. Lips lying close to jaws."

So her lips in relation to laying against her skull and mouth is dry but she has a little bit of excess in the flews and her teeth sometimes get stuck when she goes to hyper focus on something . I have seen lippy Champions though so like with anything, its not ideal from my understanding, but not a DQ.
