    If I was a breeder...looking for working lines

    I'm waiting for someone to use AI to fuse all the variois doberman pedigree databases into one, easily used by the lay public. Then incentivize accurate reporting on COD, etc. That could actually help the public help the breed by informed customer choice. And reward the breeders doing the...

    If I was a breeder...looking for working lines

    Ok, I'll be the ignorant one: "what is an AI breeding?" And What is a WW? My initial guess is "Were Wolf" based on those pics...

    Was pruning weeding and clearing dead stuff out the succulents, cactus and palms and saw some big and black buzz outta there. Later found this guy crawling across the kitchen floor...about an inch and a half long - harmless but kinda scary looking? "thats no stink bug!" Grok ID'd it as agave...

    Doberman history tidbit

    Wonderful! The author of that article is another follower of Ray Carlisle, and Vic Monteleone, and explains the "total dog" philosophy well. Bookmarked! https://www.totaldobe.com/about

    And...to the critical early learning period, starting with the best mothering by the dam... And some of the research and practical work being done at best breeders, and in service dog programs... Its the nature vs nurture debate playing out as usual, with new science tools yet old world...

    If I was a breeder...looking for working lines

    I have used GrokAI as a search engine in past, and restarted just recently noting its "most balanced" asto bias, and most useful in techical research. Then I read the cited studies and think for myself. Here is what it turned up: in reply to my question: Explain the concept of "stamm lines" in...

    Awww, who's a good dog?!❤️ He's fair dinkum that one. That looks like a lot of stitches. Kudos to you for great wound after care! Did the vet have any idea what caused it? Some kind of weird OzzieBugs or thorns DownUnder or just random?

    If I was a breeder...looking for working lines

    Just a couple question as a noob trying to learn the pedigree reading process: to you here @Nordika or @Ravenbird or @Rits or @JanS or anyone who might opine: Is there something about maternal lines in general that one might look for? Somewhere I recall reading that 'behavioral traits seem to...

    Adult or Puppy food at 12 months?

    Heh. I get you on "watching so many videos", and confusion. There is SO much good info out now that just twenty years ago you would normally get from a qualified trainer (and I use qualified on purpose). Bonnie is my first pupp in a long time, so I had the benefit of being retired to get some...

    Adult or Puppy food at 12 months?

    This is what I did too. Same time in the AM on awaken: Out to pee/poop on command, (w/big praise! ....) on the leash (or let loose in yard), Then inside to eat, followed by an hour to relax (this is good practice to avoid bloat, btw) then the morning walk/training. Off switch...

    That was a magnificent beast. One of a kind.

    Yum! Sounds pretty tasty and really healthy. No wonder Rollo is "built like a brick s---house"! Personally I like the idea of cutting back on kibble as the first thing to drop calories, IF feeding raw/whole is working good. PPS seems to be the go-to of what I read, in general, amongst top...

    Interesting notes on DCM

    Bumped as a reminder on your "TED Talk" offer: is that on film somewhere, linkage? I just mentioned RER and MER in reference to @Nordika mention and this reference I found: https://www.merckvetmanual.com/multimedia/table/daily-maintenance-energy-requirements-for-dogs-and-cats BW and I have...

    Handsome! Really neat to see how fast a dobe in the wild can muscle up just naturally with great exercise and chow. Have you got a pedigree by registration, or by DNA that shows the breeder line/geographic area of origin? How big was Rollo's sire? What do you feed? I recall you saying Rollo...
