    Random Pet Photo of the Day - 2026

    More details on Critters & Wildlife thread, I think about 3 years back. The Youtube title says "again" because he came at me another time, also on video. Never when I had my dog though.

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

    That Alex was an awesome dog too! I guess the reason breeders don't use the frozen is expense and high risk of (usually) low numbers in the litter or the bitch not getting pregnant at all. His pedigree again, takes me back to my '91 girl - she also had Orpheus and Bronco v Zenn. At the time I...

    I'll bet he'd love to see this one! LOL. I didn't have my dog with me when this squirrel came at me...

    Doberman history tidbit

    I was dusting the other day and thought I should post pictures of this vintage Doberman, cast in iron it weighs 5 pounds, which is hefty for a small statue! It's from the 1940's or '50s, of the famous Muck v. Brunia. I'd found this history about him several years ago, and a short search found it...

    Random Pet Photo of the Day - 2026

    On this thought, I wonder if formal training like IGP or Obedience for trials and teaching dogs that a command is different that "around the house" talk. Most people here don't trial in obedience, so everything they hear is "around the house" talk. I use Platz in obedience but around the house I...

    Random Pet Photo of the Day - 2026

    It's interesting, my dog seems to just know when I'm talking in conversation to people and when I say OK to her. She also hears words in context for what's happening. We'll be sitting on the porch in the afternoon near 5 o'clock and I can ask J "is it time ?" and Asha jumps up and runs to the...

    Adult or Puppy food at 12 months?

    I'm glad it gave you ideas and insight. Feel free to ask questions as he will tend to push you these next few months. Just like 7 turns into 6:50 :rofl: give an inch, he'll take a mile every time... If he starts barking, bring him in and put him on his place, so he learns that barking only...

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

    So true! What I'm seeing is that back in the day they would work the dogs and then the titled working dogs would be judged on conformation and be rated there as well. Then we got this split in the U.S and in Europe with strictly show dogs and they lost the working drive/temperament. For the...

    Adult or Puppy food at 12 months?

    So again, Doberteens are arriving in spades. Just like a sassy teenager talking back to his mom. She says wait and he says I want it NOW. So if he has a bit of obedience and he has a bed on the floor, he should know "place" or "down-stay". First thing in the morning he goes out to pee? Treat him...

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

    My bad, I said 3 daughters but it is 2 sons and 1 daughter from Bingo/Cona. And I'm not a breeder, so may be misusing line breeding/inbreeding, and to be clear I'm not against it, but just saying in todays Dobermans, needing more diversity than ever, I wouldn't like to see this much. With these...

    Adult or Puppy food at 12 months?

    As @JanS mentioned all of that is 100% teenage non-respect due to lack of boundaries set by you. Being a leader for him at this age is critical to his behavior as an adult. If you don't begin correcting him now you will have a nightmare on your hands in another year. Neutering has nothing to do...

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

    My 1991 Dobermans sire line went to Bingo v Ellendonk, but appears only once in her pedigree if I remember right. She also had Guy's Hilo v Norden Stamm. I'm a fan o these German working lines. Bronco von der Doberwatche would definitely help what we have today with what appears to be healthy...

    The Tevis Cup - 100 miles < 24 hours

    Right? I find quite a few OOP's on eBay, usually pretty cheap since nobody wants books anymore. I had that book too, but I'd just saved a few favorites and I guess that wasn't one 🙁 But I remember the cover! What I recall most about the Vienna stallions is my parents went to Europe with a tour...

    The Tevis Cup - 100 miles < 24 hours

    Here's a graphic from the Tevis, lots of gain but more decent overall. Interesting I just realized they both start at 7200!

    The Tevis Cup - 100 miles < 24 hours

    I think my favorite memory of any ride was my first 50. It was the Los Alamos 50 near Los Alamos NM, 1988, in some extreme mountainous country and high desert canyons. It was nick-named "the little Tevis" because of the elevation climbs & descent and the second half was in canyon land, hot &...

    Interesting notes on DCM

    Rest assured I don't think this is a cause especially in the Doberman breed where it is known to be genetic. Just more info that we can file away. ❤️
