Me too!! So cute! Adorable family - furry and otherwise :).

This thread is such a riot!! So many funny pics. Glad to know I’m not the only one with a derpy doggie :).

Aww!! Good frisbee boy!! Looks like he earned that Rest in the AC.

Thank you for sharing your experiences and great advice! We’ve been working with Birdie and she’s been doing very well around the goats. For some reason, she seems to be “hungrier” for the sheep. @Logan 45 -as you mentioned, I think she’s also curious about the goats and sees them more as...

Yes - in another thread @Mystic described as the “sink and splash” and that sums it up! On of our last dogs was a lab and he took to the water instantly. Even our doxies seem to have better instincts in the water than Birdie does so this is new for us. We’ll keep taking her to the beach and...

The sink and splash - yes, that’s exactly how I’d describe Birdie’s only attempt at swimming :confused-alt:. Hubby was close by to grab her. Thanks for sharing! I hope that she eventually grows to enjoy swimming as we live on the water and it’s fun exercise. We’ll keep trying some gentle...

Anyone have experience with Doberman and livestock? I’ve been looking around for breed guidance in this area but haven’t found much apart from suitability as herd protectors - which we’re not considering. We have goats and sheep and all of them are very tame and grew accustomed to our past...

Oh wow!! He’s so graceful in the water. Really such a beautiful dog. Did he swim on his own or did it take a bit of encouragement? Our mix pup is a very awkward swimmer and seems pretty scared to wade in deeper than she can touch. I’m unfairly comparing her to a past lab mix who we couldn’t...

I was curious about Doberman swimming! Thanks for sharing your experiences! Birdie tried swimming (with help from my hubby who carried her out to slightly deeper water) but she was NOT a natural, to say the least :woot2:. She seems to just want to run in, splash a bunch, get soaking wet, run...

What a handsome boy!! Does he like to swim or just wade in the water?

Good luck with whatever you decide! We’ve always been a multi-dog family and while it is more work/expense/headaches, the reward of a happy pack is pretty special. I think you idea to get an older dog is a great one - puppies are generally pretty annoying to other dogs!!

Thank you for sharing this. I wasn’t aware of this history.

We’re still refining our routine with Birdie but as of right now, she gets off leash play and potty time in the yard early morning, mid morning, and afternoon. We usually do some obedience and/or silly trick training in the late afternoon. About an hour after dinner (we had Great Danes so we’re...

Awww!! Such gorgeous guys and dolls - at any age!! They all have beautiful and shiny coats.

Thank you all for the welcome and the advice! Birdie's energy and intellect is a new adventure for us and we certainly have a lot to learn and prepare for. It's so great to hear your stories and advice...and to see all of the ADORABLE pictures of your fur babies. We are on Vashon Island. I...

Hi - new here. I’m the unexpected Doberman mom to our sweet Birdie. We rescued her (sight unseen) about 6 weeks ago from Texas and were told she was a coonhound. As hound dog people, we pretty quickly realized she was not a coonhound and decided to do a dna test. Surprise! Birdie is a beautiful...
