Finnish Kennel Club Board Approves Doberman Crossbreeding Project and Other Key Decisions The Finnish Kennel Club Board met on May 7 and May 22, approving a number of initiatives affecting breeding, governance, education, and international activities. One of the most significant decisions was...

Filling out a dog training questionnaire on Facebook, just to see… First thing- look at the dog they used to represent aggression: Next, after I filled out all the questions and I clicked the better performance and higher obedience answers that they allowed…this is what they said about...

Amazes me how somebody can take inconsistent, unstructured chaos and train it into a purposeful machine. Former Delta Force B and D Squadron dog handler Sergeant Major (Retired) Jeremy Knabenshue and his Military Working Dog, Weblo. Weblo started his life as a beaten down Belgian Malinois...

So, remember when I mentioned my daughter moved back to town with her boyfriend and his 7-year-old pit, Cha Cha? She’s a really sweet dog—but completely untrained and a major puller on the leash. We tried a meet-and-greet with Freyja, and it didn’t go well. Cha Cha got protective of my daughter...

Noted a small marble size fatty lump on Freyja’s chest. Vet checked it out and it’s a benign lipoma. He says to leave it alone, it will be fine. I know this but don’t like it. Concerned it will grow or there will be more in the future. Any experience or suggestions from y’all?? I keep seeing...

Sorry that this goes to a Facebook link…I tried to separate it out and find a different source but could not. Handler smacks her Doberman and Doberman gets aggressive to the handler. Is this an unruly Doberman that just doesn’t want to be there or a handler that’s being abusive?? Regardless...

I knew Dobermans were used during the Wars but not at this capacity. Always good and makes me proud. Were Dobermans used as Mercy Dogs during WWI WWII? Yes, Dobermans served as mercy dogs during World War I and World War II , finding and providing aid to wounded soldiers in the chaos of...

If I mentally “free” Freyja from all expectations of manners/discipline, I will often see her hackle up and stomp around when she sees another animal- when we are outside in the yard or at a park. It makes me wonder sometimes if this protective response is an instinct that goes back to the...

I saw this on Facebook, don’t know if it is legit or not but it definitely hits you. A long but good read…the old ways were the good ways. Now that most veterinary practices are being acquired by corporate fatcats and the cost of treating our animals has gone past the point most people can...

Freyja knows all my daughters very well and keeps an eye on them when they are home. Kelsie has been off to college for quite some time, met a boy who has a female Boxer/Pit mix (Cha cha). She has recently moved close to home and been wanting for Freyja and Cha cha to meet. They come over...

So it’s not completely unsual for Freyja to vomit or have diarrhea. It happens from time to time from eating a frog, catching a squirrel, mouse and/or anything else out there- just not gonna completely stop them unless you muzzle. Freyja is not nearly the goat as Rag was so tbh it’s just not...

I thought this was very interesting…. https://www.facebook.com/share/16EidTL3ve/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Looking through Doberman rescue sites…man, I feel bad for those Dobermans, it’s a shame because they don’t have a choice. Hell… for that fact, no animals deserve it. Context in this is that too many folks have Dobermans that should not have Dobermans and the ones that can’t handle them abandon...

Have a guy in ICU that came in with real bad compartment syndrome of his forearm. Compartment syndrome is basically when an infection or trauma causes increased pressure inside a section of a limb. Surgeons have to cut it open and either relieve pressure or remove infected/necrotic tissue...

Been noticing a little wet spot here and there but did not want to admit or acknowledge it. It has been hot down here and I mean walking outside being slapped in the face hot. I know what the heat does to me running, practically shuts me down from a 8/10 to a 5/10. So I chalked up Freyja be...

The Mal vs Doberman post from @JanS had me thinking about could a Doberman match a Mal? Could a high drive Doberman match a low end Mal? Intensity, power, agility, intelligence, wit, etc….Don’t know much about Mals but I do know they are absolute beast and no commoner should even think about...

Neighbor across the street went out of town and Tristen said she would dog sit a female Golden Retriever. “Remy” is the sweetest, most passive thing you will ever meet. Such a beautiful fun loving joyous soul. The hens are not having the newcomer at all…stalking around with their necks high...

We have a number of folks that are into showing and confirmation… @JanS @Rits @remy I know a lot of it has to do with quality and what you feed your Doberman but what kind of shampoo, conditioner, spray do you use? What is your routine to make them shine?

Still think of this asshat all the time, I mean everyday. I don’t mean too, I don’t want to dwell in the past but I just find myself thinking of him. @Gelcoater was right when he said the hurt doesn’t go away, it just kinda lessens with time. My wife and children surprised me with this...
