@Nordika if you are replying to me in re: "links" no worries. I put stuff out there I have found thats interesting to me, at this stage of learning...the genetic stuff is particularly challenging, and what I notice is thats all good, but the practical hands-on what works from people in the breed for decades is actually more valuable, as that parallels the decades of animal husbandry in digs, just like in cattle, going back thousands of years.
Its not easy to get that wisdom from busy breeders, show handlers, working fog trainers/helpers, and others who breed for function, like in AK for sled dogs most notably.
I'm jus a dog nerd here, interested in what everyone has to say, especially on dobes as they represent one dog that can do it all for my needs, as an example among others for different tasks.
The archives here and at another doberman webforum are gold mines of wisdom, and I'm still finding nuggets three years later drilling down.
So happy to share if and when interested, if you have a question you will find that if there is expertise here, then someone will share ...
If not, I think its great to ask anyway, in a separate topic as that will draw eyeballs, and at some point someone, even if its only a lurker, will find benefit and/or correct my mistake with facts as the information out thete catches up.
So anything you are interested on, esp if on something that might help others, I'd suggest anyone float it here.
I've found this place to be A pretty wise and gracious, welcoming and open minded as to all opinions on show, work, and other tasks like SAR, etc group here.
So dont be shy:
I'd like to learn more about your experience in dogs esp dobes in your extreme environment.
