    Doberman puppy owners - track your weight gain here

    Breeders daughter used to comment every time I saw her when they were puppies about how big they were going to be. 'OMG -Look at those feet! They are going to be HUGE!' sort of stuff. :) I pretty much laughed that off as nonsense. Seriously? You are looking at the 'feet' on a pair of puppies...

    Doberman puppy owners - track your weight gain here

    I had one from the current pair that did that with same ear. I lost count of all the strips I used on that one ear trying to keep it up and how much longer (months) I spent on that one ear than all of the others. She could pick it up just fine 'when she felt like it' - In hindsight I...

    Two Great Danes kill woman in Pennsylvania

    Absolutely. As a guy that prefers keeping pairs - I would think something was way 'wrong' if they did NOT try to work together as you suggest. Last time a stray male came around here and refused to leave after a few warnings from me (would have preferred to ignore him and let it slide but...

    Two Great Danes kill woman in Pennsylvania

    I clicked the links and read the article. Nowhere did it mention the sex of any of the 3 dogs. Not the 2 involved or the one that was supposedly not involved. Also did not mention any 'evidence' of fighting between the 2 dogs. (with dogs that large and powerful - there would have been obvious...

    Already know that she was looking at all that white stuff in her yard and thinking - 'Wow, I need to get out there and chew on sisters face in that!'. :)

    Invisible Electric Fence for Dogs - Would you?

    If I understood correctly - Then this right here for the WIN, all day and every day! :) If you have 2 of of them - One can used as a semi-autonomous, hands free, leash retaining assistant while the other does their business. Once the one dog gets finished you just switch up who is going to...

    Invisible Electric Fence for Dogs - Would you?

    The flip side of that would be a customers home I visited one time where their Rottie had particular lines inside the home that it would not cross. (the invisible line near their front door was the one I noticed in particular - that dog would not step past a certain point that only he could...

    Loved that picture. :) It screamed 'wide open freedom' and 'freezing cold' at the same time to me! :) My girls stayed firmly planted in front of their heater today. (I DID warn the one girl about what would happen if her sister farted - she was cool with the risk and continued to roast her...

    Invisible Electric Fence for Dogs - Would you?

    With the right training you should not need an invisible fence. Or a fence at all - I definitely advocate for using long leads until you have all of the boundary lines spelled out clearly for the dog. Notice how the fence separating my neighbors yard and mine stops where it does here? Here...

    Am I missing something with ear cropping?

    Yup. You should have followed the Vets instructions. That stuff is to help prevent infection AND promote healing. Should say exactly that on the label (mine does). Currently raising my 6th and 7th cropped Dobermans. Have used 3 different Vets over the years for ear work and out of those 3 - 2...

    Am I missing something with ear cropping?

    Downside is that most likely the stitch removal cost is included in what she paid for the crop. If she goes to a local Vet (different from the one that did the crop) to have them removed they are likely going to charge her for the removal. Paying twice for the same thing. :(

    When you think you have them trained how to act around distractions and then -

    Yeah. Those were her backyard birds. Lots of them. Made for an interesting experience trying to walk around back there (nasty). Inside she kept a few African Greys (which even if kept in a cage can and WILL fling stuff a pretty good distance making the inside of your home nasty as heck). That...

    When to stop posting? Teething timeline

    Hoping you get lucky and they will stay solid without much more effort. With my current girls one was finished a LOT faster than her sister. Same length crops and all of that but the one girl just seemed like she 'wanted' to perk her ears up more than the other. (like when you whistle at them...

    That link you gave was 'pocketpetcentral'. Did you read what I wrote about how big they can get? (If a mere handful of years) The thickest, most heavy duty leather gardening gloves they had - did NOT protect the x wifes hand when that thing went for the banana and got a few fingers instead...

    Bogie & Iguanas

    No. They are not. They are an expensive pain in the ass of the highest order. Special housing, special lights, special food, special vitamins, special heaters, special some more money out of your pocket for the special lizard Vet visit here and there - That one in the video that the dog...

    Curious about that heater. Natural gas with an insert that blows the hot air into the room or something else? My girl Patience loves her some heaters. :) Have 3 of these and love them. Downside is that they run on propane and unless you are willing to refill your own 1lb cylinders and / or...
