No one is ever truly “ready” for a Dobie lol. With that being said they are just like any other dog. Slightly different energy requirements but entirely manageable. If high drive is a concern of yours I would lean more towards a confirmation style breeder as opposed to a working style...
Thanks Jan. Was a tough blow, but the kids are all getting old so I better get used to it. Just hoping now Raven hits that 10 year milestone without issue.
In my experience with SSA Dobie's it is very breed specific. For example my male Doberman is extremely SSA towards other male Dobermans, other male breeds he loves to death. I don't think there is a one size fits all answer that fits this situation. I would personally experiment first. Maybe...
I actually reached out to Proplan. I think they are going to cover a portion of Berlin's surgery. From the sounds of it my breeder had the exact same issue bloat/GDV that took one of her dogs.
After Crow I chalked that up to a one off bloat by god knows what. Two dogs in a row and none of my...
Anything I've learned over the years is it's always best to ignore as much as you can when it comes to neighbors. Especially when you have Dobermans. City always seems to side with non dog owners over property issues. I suspect those kids will lose interest very quickly in that trampoline...
Hey everybody long time no talk :)
I have been running into some food issues with the pups lately and wanted to see what everyone is using that is reasonably priced for 30-40 lbs. We have 6-7 dogs at any given time now with all the fosters. Dobies have been having extreme gas issues and I'm...
Makes you seriously wonder what can draw a dog to literally eat his/her owner. The attack part I dont really understand, but I understand it more so than literally eating your caretaker since near birth.
Dog aggression and human aggression are two different things. But why did pitbulls account for 82% of deaths against man in 2015 but only made up a mere 6.6% of the US dog population?
Im all for advocating for better pet ownership and research before hand, but at what point do we admit this...
I should add. I used to routinely foster pit bulls. Every one i fostered was dog aggressive. My opinion on this changed once I started taking care of an actual child. I would never in a million years fear any other breed, but at a certain point I feel like you have to step back and look at...
Unpopular opinion for sure, but I agree with you. I think Pitbulls are a challenging breed that is prone to aggressive/dominant behavior. In the right hands this can be nothing to worry about, but with a normal pet owner I feel like these situations are far too common. You look at bite...
Its hard to gauge when you arent there for sure. When you pull the ears up but dont apply too much pressure it gives you a good idea, but the best idea is how they sit while being posted.
It looks like a very normal pet crop to me, and Im sure it will turn out very nice.
