    My Birthday Present

    So was i...i got to use that lens on my friends D800 few times and decided then that had to have one myself.. That is one hell of a serious glass!! and it cost more than the camera!! I have to take something decent to IDC this year...after last years photos i took were chosen to be published on...

    My Birthday Present

    With a litter on the way, i thought my birthday was a good enough excuse to buy myself a new camera + zoom lens as a birthday present :D I had already sold my old Nikon D90 kit + 70-300 lens just before Christmas and had to get a replacement, so decided to upgrade to a full frame camera and...

    Nika Is Pregnant

    I have already had two inquiries from the states but i don't want to send there for few reasons.. a)I believe it would be too long journey & much stress for a puppy. b)I prefer for the pups to go to show homes in Europe where they can get a chance to show themselves in the ring. as for your...

    Nika Is Pregnant

    It certainly looks like a promising litter but that's about it...only promising. going as far as saying it is one of the top breedings of the decade would be unfair to so many others..

    Future Of American Bred Dobermans

    My prediction is that..only change due to C/D ban in Europe will be American people will be less inclined to import non cropped/docked dogs from Europe... It will not raise the demand for American Doberman.

    Future Of American Bred Dobermans

    Very true statement..100% agreed!! That cannot and will not happen... To make a comeback like expecting the American dobermann to evolve into a high drive working dog is simply not possible... They dont have the temperament and on top of that they lost the physical qualities required..they are...

    Future Of American Bred Dobermans

    It's a human thing...Wanting something just for its looks, without even considering if it suits them or or not.. Do you think all the people who drive around in fast sports cars can control those vehicles in an emergency? Nope!! But they still love to buy it if they can afford it.. it's a...

    Dcm - Should We Worry More About The Disease Of The Gene Pool

    Exactly...all the test reports,be it DNA or holter they ONLY give you the health state of the dog at the time of the test.. There is no guarantee they will not develop the mutation in a week,month or a years time!! So..for the time being majority of the people testing are the stud owners and...

    Dcm - Should We Worry More About The Disease Of The Gene Pool

    You cannot find any lines that don't have dogs that carry DCM in their pedigree.Each and every dog alive today has an affected dog or dogs in their pedigree. But just because there is a dog with DCM somewhere down the line in their pedigree we cannot remove dogs from the gene pool. Let me give...

    Dcm - Should We Worry More About The Disease Of The Gene Pool

    I don't believe your statement (highlighted in bold) to be correct..Taking into account the population of the dogs on both continents,the rate of DCM is much higher in the states than it is in Europe. This is most probably due to the fact that, gene pool is much smaller on your side..

    Doberman Image. A Good Or A Bad Thing?

    I wouldn't bet on that myself...The look will be deceiving.. with or without C/D, a dog with the correct temperament will act the same BUT i have a feeling this might contribute against the breed reputation.. Cropped & docked dogs have the intimidating looks for strangers so they approach them...

    Breeder Types

    Absolutely.. I recently noticed the following on a DCM DNA test report issued by a veterinary genetics lab in the USA.. Underlined bold statement at the end is exactly what you have pointed out...we cannot and must not eliminate every dog with a defect..by doing so we are shrinking the gene...

    Ripple Effect? Dv Standard 2015

    Don't be so sure on that... We said similar things when (Eastern European countries) said when they banned cropping in most of the Western Europe back in 1992...look where we are now.. it's only a mater of time the Animal Welfare groups convince your politicians to "advice" your DPCA & AKC to...

    Ripple Effect? Dv Standard 2015

    Your plan is a no winner...there is no reason for anyone from Europe to go into trouble of importing a dog from the states just because it is "cropped euro type" You (as a breeder) should know by now the difficulties of convincing a good European breeder to sell you a quality puppy to take back...
