There was a few times I pissed the Doberman wife off where she felt the need to yell / scream and otherwise get angry towards me. 'Some' was because that woman was crazy but there was a good bit of ass chewing that I EARNED and fully deserved! :) When she got really wound up and exploded on me...

It's non vet employees too and to a larger degree. Some may be very experienced and some may not... :(

Those drugs have potential side effects that stick around for a few hours to a few days. What sucks as well is wimpy Vets whose first choice is to knock a Doberman out to do minor work that may not really require them being knocked out. If it is something minor like a small wound cleaning and...

I freakin hated dogs after a bad experience when young. I was NOT gay but did have cats instead for a while until that day the wife said 'I want to get a dog for the boys'. Me being smart like I is - KNEW that If I 'compromised' with her on the dog thing I could get her to change her mind. :)...

If I can train my Dobermans (all of them over the last 20+ years or so) to come running and line up for a 120psi air cleaning every day (sometimes multiple times a day) - You can too! :) They are not always 'born with it' but they can be taught to 'deal with it' just fine. Dobermans excel at...

Dogs learn and know 'family' stuff. Especially Dobermans... They can be vastly different but also be a part of the same family. If they grow up together especially - Not suggesting you go down that road if you are not wanting to go down that road but... You could pull it off. I have less...

I added baked potatoes and green beans to the kibble tonight. (and a big fat strawberry in each bowl) Dr Share DID say I needed to put some meat on Agathas butt and potatoes WILL do that so... :) Never really had to 'tell' Agatha what to do during mealtimes here - She picked it up watching...

All the annual stuff too AND thyroid testing? Yes, You got a deal there for sure. :)

Emergency clinic here is double to x 4 depending on the day of the week and the time. AND their scale still sucks! :) One would 'think' they could afford a good quality scale with what they charge but nope! :)

I did make her get off my dog after I took this picture.

I is lucky in that there are so many different vet clinics near to me. If I need xrays done for whatever reason I know one real close that will do them for 1/2 what most all of the other places nearby charge. Will even put the images on a CD for me if I want to be able to take the images with...

There is no way anyone can tell anything at only ten week of age. Not going to happen... I remember one time picking up a pair of littermates from DVM Kuhlmann at around 8ish weeks and as I was considering which girls I wanted out of the litter I asked the Dr what he thought about their...

Not uncommon to see the same with littermates.

Perhaps I have been lucky but I have never had a destructive Doberman. I have had other breeds that were destructive (imagine coming home to find your yard dug up to the point where it looks like the surface of the moon due to so many craters). Will stick to Dobermans from here on out... :)

If it has been there a month and is getting bigger - It is time for a Vet visit.

My problem is not so much 'teaching the dog' - It is because the one girl is so darn heavy and I is not a body builder... You did just give me a good suggestion though as for training the new girl here to allow herself to be carried. It certainly won't hurt her and I can handle mid 50's...

The lady that ran that club here (many years ago) back in the day was awesome. She had stories about one of hers that made it to 16yrs. Swore that that dog did not even start slowing down until it was about 12. I have no doubts that everything she told me was the truth but at the same time know...

Am crossing my finger that you don't have any complications in the future. That girl just had a bunch of stuff done and is gonna need some rest.

One of the rescue places near me regular ships dogs to Canada when they become over crowded... Surprised me but I guess I can believe it.

Breaks my heart to think about that happening to your family. :( Also keeps me vigilant (scared to death) of the 4 lane street in front of me casa here.
