I came across this old picture which made me reflect. My wife and I got married in 1988 and got our first doberman puppy. We look back and see our differently we do things now. First thing was we got our pup when she was 6 wks instead of at least 8 wks. Second thing was her ears had not been cropped so we had them done by our local vet. There was no discussion about what style or length, he just did them. Third thing was we were told she needed to be spayed at a young age so thats what we did. Next thing was he recommended Science Diet food so that's what she ate her whole life. Dispite our ignorance on how and what to do she turned out to be a wonderful dog.She lived to be almost 16 passing away in 2004. She is buried in our backyard with a beautiful granite headstone. That was our beginning and now 32 years later we are on number 6. What a wonderful breed they are. Here is a picture of our Onyx.
