Wow! Quite a story! No this guy is not from Petco. He has his own business training dogs to be personal protection dogs, bite sports, etc. He's not the only one I have heard say that dobermans aren't cut out for personal protection anymore. Another trainer all over YouTube and one that placed...

The trainer I contacted was very honest I believe, because he said he'd be willing to assess Flint but "most dobermans do not have the ability to be personal protection dogs" was what he said, and I am aware of this painful fact also. I wasn't looking at Flint when he made contact and Matt...

That's my plan lol

So this whole time I was very convinced Flint had no bite in him at all outside of tug. He's all pet and show line, even if he is roughly half euro. Well I now have an appointment mid July to get him assessed for potential bite work and here is why: I was busy cleaning the house and it was one...

Update on this: Apparently Flint cannot eat bully sticks at all now. I bought him one a few days ago with the intent to take the last 3 inches or so from him. I did without issue. Within 30 minutes of eating the bully stick he vomited. I have no idea what changed, he's always been able to...

Flint has had 2 incidents about a week apart where he vomits what appears to be (I could be wrong) 2 servings of dog food at a time. This is weird, because I feed him between 8 and 12 hours apart. He comes in from outside about 5 hours after eating, gulps water, then pukes. There were hard...

Update: I took him to the vet on Monday and the vet did a fine needle aspiration on it. It was full of clear fluid but it wasn't pus. The vet said that it was a sebaceous... something (lol) and that it wasn't a big deal. It should go away in its own in a few weeks. It's caused by trauma, which I...

Nope. He's not due until October

This appeared about yesterday morning and all if the sudden on Flint. I've got theories that it's a hematoma, because Flint is an absolute chaos gremlin and is convinced he can bulldoze anything. Sometimes he rolls off the couch and hits our coffee table. The other day he was chasing the ball...

I'll try poking his ear tomorrow night when I have my husband to help keep him still. We do both pet him regularly and I haven't noticed anything weird where he scratches.

If i didn't have a job or a husband that was half way reliable, Flint would eat between 9 and 10am and 9 and 10pm. I feed him breakfast consistently. My husband has nights that he stays out too late or has pool league. So sometimes Flint gets fed at midnight. 🙄 Flint has thrown up before like...

I was trying to wait to reply because for a few days everything looked fine. I came home from work just now and discovered a small amount of vomit under his cot. It was just bile. No dog food. Unless he ate it. I'm freaked out. I'd be panicking if Flint wasn't 100% normal otherwise. I do...

So Flint has had some gagging and head flicking with his left ear lower and off to the side than his right. It's not all the time, but I especially noticed it this morning and I took him to the vet. I smelled his ear, because when he gets an ear infection or something is irritating it, it has a...

Dang that would be perfect if not for the date! My in-laws and my husband's best friend will be in town. Maybe I can convince them to come with me...

Yeah I was concerned that that could happen. I'll start by teaching Flint to stack and then maybe posting a few photos here for opinions. His wetter mouth is the only thing I see (in my humble non-experienced opinion) that could hose us. That and his crop that is definitely not a show crop. I'd...

Holy cow @Ravenbird Thank you so much! I actually have a $25 gift card for Gun Dog supply that I won at a Ducks Unlimited Banquet. Appreciate you!

And this is the closest photo have to a "stack". Okay I'm done spamming.

Flint's pedigree again so no one has to dig up ancient history to look at it. His mom was 75% euro but to me at least, Flint looks very very American aside from a slight wet mouth

Yeah I got the "I want more titles for my dog" bug. I know for conformation you generally need someone to agree to mentor you and most show dogs start earning titles as puppies. Flint will be 2 in July, but getting him a "Ch" in front of his name would be really cool. The breeder I got him...

So we live in an area where deer and elk are common. I am already in contact with a trainer that is able to teach scent work. She can teach search and rescue, narcotic/bomb whatever. But I wanted to ask if anyone has taught their dog, doberman or not, to smell for freshly dropped antlers...
