I've used Wondercide on Sass and find that it's not a great repellent. It needs to be refreshed almost daily. It does kill ticks if it hits them while spraying but is poor once it dries. And it doesn't kill quickly. I pulled two deer ticks from just inside her ear and dropped them alive in a...

She’s still 6 months between the ears. 😎 How are you Jan? Good to see you.

The ticks are so bad here that I tried the Seresto in spite of the negative reports I’ve read and heard. We have woods on two sides and a heavy deer population and it is a rare day when we don’t pick off a couple. Sometimes dog ticks but usually black legged deer type. Several times both my wife...

Miss Center of the Universe about a month shy of four years. The look says are you going to throw it or do I start whining? I thought she might slow down at two. Then at three. Well maybe at five?

Well it's been awhile since I checked in so I've attached a photo of the ball, frisbee, anything that can be thrown driven maniac. Sassy is almost four now, healthy and has been rock steady at 65-67 lbs for longer than I can remember. Has she slowed down now that she's a mature woman...

Sassafras. 6 months on page one of this thread. 2yrs 3mnths now.

FOUR FEET I have done mostly what most men do, And pushed it out of my mind; But I can't forget, if I wanted to, Four-Feet trotting behind. Day after day, the whole day through -- Wherever my road inclined -- Four-feet said, "I am coming with you!" And trotted along behind. Now I must go by...

Thanks all. She's an awesome dog. She's the smartest dog we've ever had. The most demanding dog we've ever had. Refuses to be ignored. Velcro dog is no exaggeration. She has to be touching you. Head on you. Paw on you. Leaning against you when walk. Her energy level is off the charts. She never...

It sure has. Boy I agonized over those ears.

We feed raw as well. I DO NOT like the feel of dog tongue.

Not sure what you mean by speed licking but Sassy is a skin licker. Hands, arms, legs----I hold my hands up when I walk or they get covered with Doberman spit.

She has a long show crop done by Dr Ann Midgarden in Ohio who does all the pups for my breeder and many others as well. And she does all breeds. You can check out her Facebook page. Ann Midgarden fan club page

Sass and I are very thankful to you for your excellent article on posting and encouragement from all to stay the course.

Boy did you nail it. Fences only keep things out, not Dobermans in. There is a six foot dune between our cottage and the lake and six steps down from the deck. She patrols the beach from the deck waiting to rid it of the errant Canada geese and seagulls that gather in groups on the shore. She...

You better believe. Track the weight and you'll be astounded. There are weeks when they put on 5 and 6 lbs.

Calmed? Heh. She's like electricity. And a talker. She has a fully developed and expressive whine vocabulary and she wants what she wants. My wife is fully trained.

Thanks for the compliments by the way. She's a pretty girl. Not like any female dog we've ever had though. Very buff and solid as a rock. And nothing timid about her. Except for the tape measure. LOL

The input I got from the good folks here was absolutely invaluable. The encouragement was priceless.

Yer not a kid anymore.
