Glad to hear it...thank you. Glory is 5 now; I know she was a terror until around 2 because hubby wouldn't crate her when I was at work...but I am home now, and STILL need to crate this boy when I am not watching him! He is so big; I forget he is only 9 months. 
For those who have read past posts from me; you'll notice we were able to fence that one part of our yard so far....goes all the way down the hill....to keep the neighbor yappers out!!! Of course the front is still open; but down there is where I take mine off leash to play ball etc. Since we put it up, they no longer let their dogs out without a leash during the day....late at night they still do! But I am not out there.

Sounds like a win win to me!
Me too! So far so good with Annie's . And I really like it. It's a great Compromise between a metal tray and a fluffy bed they tear up!
Nice! I can see that being very useful. And what a beautiful area you live in! No wonder everyone wants to move to Tennessee!

He looks really big for only 9 months! I agree, your area is beautiful especially with that mist.
Rally Title today! We got our first Beginner Novice leg as well, but I didn't get a video of it. I am so proud of this boy! We were the first one's in the ring in BN and it was pouring out...so we were both a little frazzled. I kept taking him out to potty, because I have had a dog poop in the ring years ago (you never get over that fear 
) and he scored a 199. Then an hour later, he scored a 98 in RN and got his title. I wanted to try and get his title at the Nationals this year; to get a pretty ribbon...but it was too expensive for me to enter so many classes, so went to a local show. Showing one day at the Nationals next week.

That’s awesome! Congratulations

Well done!
I was thinking he was 12 - 14 months now and scrolled back to see and it's amazing he's only 10 months old! His temperament, happiness and eagerness to please remind me sooooo much of my last Doberman born in 1991. You're a beautiful team together for sure.
I know! He is a big moose...but he's only a puppy! This is the first Doberman I have had at such a young age...got him at 12 weeks. All of our others were older....GLory was 6 months; Clarke was 5 months....what a difference when you can start playing with them right away, and teaching them skills. He will be 11 months October 10th.
Finally getting around to showing you all Falcon's Beginner Novice run at the National's. I only went one day, Kingsport is exactly an hour and 15 minutes from me, and it took 3 hours to get there. A major road was washed out because of the flood, so they were re routing trucks, and it was a nightmare. Fortunatley, I like to get everywhere - especially a show; early. So I knew we would not be showing until perhaps noonish, but wanted to be settled in and do some shopping and visiting. We got there at 9:30 am and I walked Falcon all around after I set up his crate. He got a special chewy snack to hang out in his crate with, and he settled right in with it. He was real good with all the people and Dobes passing, and some dogs were peeking in at him (crating was tight). It looked like we might get in the ring before 1pm, but the way they ran it, our class was not until 3:30! I like being 'early' as in 2 to 3 hours before we show....but 6 hours I thought might have been too much for Falcon, as he NEVER took a nap! He was so busy watching everyone, and started to bark when I would leave my chair and his crate. So then we practiced that....I walked away, rewarded him when he stayed quiet....took him out a few times to practice, and felt just before our class started, that he might be 'overdone' - not expecting anything other than a Fun Run....he surprised the socks off me! We scored a 195 and he got 2nd place! I think I was more worn out than HE was!!! I am pretty sure our points off were handler errors 
Always wonderful to talk with other doberman people. Ran into folks I knew from IL that I knew from dog shows...really great day!
