I am going to go with bad luck. The sort of bad luck that you can't really test for or predict with any real and measurable degree of certainty. I had one girl from a pair of littermates tested out the wazoo for any sort of heart problems when her sister died due to DCM. Doggie heart...

So you got 6 dogs then. And only one is causing problems...

I think I already mentioned how my new USPS lady is kinda cute and I really do NOT want either of the girls running her away. :) Thankfully for me this USPS lady is not one of those people that just 'drops the box and scurries away' when a girl like Agatha runs up an is all 'mouthy' and trying...

That M18 battery stuff was what I was wanting to know and you delivered! :) That is going on my 'need to buy' list! :)

Is that both the mom and the son? If so, You just won my internet for the day! :) Either way - Wish Arson a happy birthday and wish you and him both many more years to come! :)

How about they chime in with some actual statistics from any of the major Veterinary journals or links to actual peer reviewed Veterinary studies. I will predict right now that is NOT going to happen. :) If they did try to cite any real data it would show how extremely rare of a condition this...

If that thing takes the regular MK batteries I AM going to be getting some of that! If you got a model number you would be helping a brother out! I like that that has what looks like good guards on it. :)

You just won my internet for the day! :)

Only 2 huh? :) Current clinic I use has 3 really great Vet ladies there and so far after regularly using them for 4yrs or so now not a single one of those ladies has tried to give me a speech about how 'important' it was to have this surgery done on any of my Dobermans. 20+ years of raising...

Vets that actually went to school for many years AND passed an exam (or 2) so they could get an actual license to practice... AND owned and bred Dobermans that did not require a 'warning' to any buyers of those puppies they 'they may want to consider a special surgery to prevent bloat...

I beefed up the hot weather Dober fan situation a little bit recently. From this - To this - Have to tether them to something now so they (little butt girl I is still trying to grow) don't blow away if in the direct path of the airflow AND the thing is a little too loud for my liking...

Unfortunately I lost my most stealthy girl before Agatha came along. Was a pile of learning that 'could' have been passed along If I had found Agatha sooner.

The last dog my mom lost made it 19 years... Messed her up for a while losing that one. Me being the good son that I ams hounded her pretty much daily extolling the virtues and benefits of her getting another dog. She still had a 2 yr old girl around but I knew darn well that dog was going to...

I kindof like my girl that barks at anything and everything. Pretty sure I paid extra for that! :) That shit fit she pulled when the UPS guy came today was damn impressive in my opinion. Even had the UPS guy smiling and waving at me in approval! :) Was a 60lb Cujo (but 'cept on speed) zipping...

If the stuff was so safe and so easy then WHY on earth would Vets / Doberman breeders / owners that I know personally not do that to their own animals? Vets that actually own their own practices and can do that sort of stuff on their own dogs for very, very minimal costs to them... Why would...

Mine would have sooo much Dober juice on that glass! :)

I noticed that too. Smart dog! :)

Neither of the Doberman breeders I have had in the past that were also Vets suggested I have this done or ever mentioned them having it done to any of their Dobermans... And neither of those breeders / Veterinarians were what I would call 'spring chickens' if you get my meaning. Dr Kuhlmann...

With all of the training she has invested in those adult dogs (proven results) she could slip in a Dober puppy and have it easily mentally develop twice as fast as not having those 'role models' around to help the young one learn. If I could go back and do it again, I would have got Agatha...

So far I have never had any issues with any Dobermans of mine and bloat. Of the 6 I have buried so far none ever had any issues with bloat and never required any sort of surgery to prevent it. I do follow the same tips that strykerdobe mentioned and believe they are sound tips to follow. A...
