    Introducing Clancy

    A new journey begins! For many months I have been stalking rescue groups and have applied for quite a few Dobermans with no success. Most had health or behaviour issues that made them unsuitable for my lifestyle and the few that would have been fine were in high demand and were homed elsewhere...

    Pepper 🌶️

    They can put a good scare into us! Good to hear she's back up to speed. ❤️

    Doberman becoming "extinct?"

    I believe this is what is currently being done in Australia. Here they seem to be using Rottweilers and German Shepherds that are chosen for soundness, free from genetic disease and stable temperament. I wish I was a lot younger as I could really get on board with this. Some pups from these...

    Doberman becoming "extinct?"

    There's a group on FB I've joined called Doberman Outcross. I don't think it's very active and based in Switzerland I think but it's interesting to read the back posts. What I don't see there is the generational development back to Dobe type. 🤔

    Doberman becoming "extinct?"

    Watching "Red Dog" made me cry as it's based on a true story. There are actually Kelpie X Dobes that come up from accidental breedings fairly often but it's not a cross I like. Kelpies are high energy intelligent working dogs with a more frenetic work ethic than a border collie so add that...

    Doberman becoming "extinct?"

    I'm sorry. It's Doberman Reset Outcross collective and not rescue. My mistake. It took a bit of finding and I managed to find a FB group but it is based in Europe. I love the idea of getting some good genetics back into Dobermans but here in Australia I think they are starting their own...

    Doberman becoming "extinct?"

    There is a movement in Australia towards intelligent outcrossing of Dobermans. Called D.R.O.C., Doberman Rescue Outcross Collective, and they are breeding for health and temperament. Using mostly Rottweilers and German shepherds. Droc is based in Europe but breeders here are making their own...

    Welcome to the life of Riley

    He looks magnificent! Don't think he'd think much of the show ring though. He's used to wide open spaces!

    Toby, the dog I never trained.

    It's the toughest decision we have to make for our dogs but the right one. Hope you all find peace. So sorry. 🙏

    Road trip and hotel stay

    And this is why I won't settle for any other breed! Well done Millie for being the perfect Dobe! Love the wheelie chair tug game!

    Fun with a ring sport helper

    Jazz had an illiopsoas strain that even the vets couldn't diagnose. Occasionally she'd yelp when chasing a ball and a reluctance to jump and duck down to go under anything was about it as far as symptoms. I did daily hind leg stretches with her by rubbing and massaging the illiopsoas area and...
