Many of you old timers are familiar with my Doberman/GSD Brinks but for those that dont I will enclose some photos and information about my goofy boy. So I am finally in a position in my life where I can focus more time and energy into extracurricular dog activities, and a supportive partner...

Does anyone here feed this kibble and if so what are your opinions and experience? I was buying a brand from the feed store that appeared to be good but recently I ended up with a rancid bag, and as a result miserably sick dogs! Needless to say I will never be buying that again. I found Victor...

As requested, here is my pig thread. I’m fairly certain it is a SHE although there is a possibility that it’s original owners had him neutered. But I don’t think so. I’ve never been around pigs before and I will say this, they have no concept of personal space. She is all up on me! Very...

Took my crew for a little jaunt up the back yard, to the top! I haven’t gone up there since early spring because I’m too worried about the dogs getting bit by a snake. It was beautiful and a nice cardio boost for all of us hah! Odyssey refused to be left behind, my sweet old girl.

So with the cooler weather upon us it was time to buy Odyssey a new blanket/sweater. Her hoodie has seen its day and while the fleece dog suit I won in the calendar contest last year is really nice and warm, it’s just not quite suited for her body type. It’s plenty long enough and has extra in...

I am in no position at this time to be adding another dog, but I was just curious if anyone has ever heard of this breeder? I believe they are in Turkey. I started following them on Instagram because I just love how their Dobermans look. Very substantial and muscular, just quite pleasing to the...

I was speaking to a regular at work today who mentioned the equestrian center nearby sometimes hosts dog dock diving events. This got me curious and I was wondering, does or has anyone here tried it out with their Dobes? All of my dogs love the water BUT... Odyssey under NO circumstance will...

Bearing the title of this thread you wouldn’t think it’s Doberman related, but alas I’m not interested in YOUR Instagram just your dogs :D I made one for Rio (but will post all dogs) and would like to follow fellow forum members! I feel like there was a post like this already but I couldn’t find it.

It was yesterday, but Rio celebrated his first birthday! There was a time not too long ago I didn’t think he would live to see this day, so I wanted to make it special. The day before he got a toy in advance, a four foot stuffed cactus we dubbed Pedro. He adores Pedro and carries him around...

I -love- a good thunderstorm! The more wind, lightning, rain and thunder the better! As long as I don’t lose power for days, have a tree fall on my house, or get hit by lightning I’m good to go :D I have blackberries growing EVERYWHERE in the brush in my side yard, definitely gonna make some...

Some people like to collect stamps, cars, or collars. But I love harnesses. I’ve been on the search for the best harness, and so far this is the one. I have so many positive things to say. The harness is well made, tight stitching and the fleece is soft and durable. It covers every part of the...

I was just curious for those that use harnesses, what kind do you like the best and what’s your typical usage? I like the Browning harness I have, but I was looking for a red or red/Black one for a race that me and Brinks are competing in next month. I’d also like one with a handle because, well...

I decided to start a thread dedicated to all of me and Brinks adventures in the back country, I mean it when I say he is THE best trail dog. He’s off leash 90% of the time and I give him credit as to why I’ve never seen any bear, turkey, deer or really anything bigger than a tweety bird. He...

Is it worth enrolling? I’m in the tentative process of filling Rios paperwork out and never having an AKC dog before, I have no idea! Because posts are better with pics :)

Just got home from the vet. It’s been a long weekend. Saturday at 4 am Rio woke me up with subsequent vomiting, by 9:30 which is when I leave for work he looked down but was drinking and no longer vomiting. I came home as soon as I could at 3:30 and took him to the closest after hours clinic...

Just a warning I have a LOT of pics LOL So yesterday (Monday) I took Brinks along with me and my friend on a four plus mile hike, and then Rio and oddy out to a different park later. My friend brought one of her fosters, his name is Draco and he’s a 12 year old German and Australian shepherd...

Ok! So a few of you may know after quite a bit of research I decided on a hiking pack for Brinks. It is the EzyDog Summit pack, and here’s what I have to say about it. Overall I am fairly impressed with the pack. The stitching is tight, material is durable and waterproof for what I’d imagine...

Me and my friend always have Mondays off and we decided (weather permitting) we are going to tackle a new challenging trail to hike with our dogs every week. I thought it would be great to get a pack for them to carry, not only to get extra energy out but to carry some of their items on longer...

It has been extra miserably WET for weeks on end, and Sunday the sun finally broke through! People and dogs alike are relieved, now I just can’t wait for the mud to dry up so I don’t have to wash a load of towels every other day. Our witchy neighbor that nobody likes has a little dog that she...

I was wondering if I could feed squirrel to my dogs, and how to prep it? Which parts are edible and adversely which ones are not? I’m familiar with harvesting wild game and as a result familiar with the different body parts. Any insight would be appreciated, thanks!
