Old Doberman Photos

[Dobie Wan Knobie]

When I was about 10 or 11 I found an old Doberman Quarterly book and have been influnced by that find ever since. This is why I have always had a deep appreciation for the Doberman. I still have a few of my favorite photo's from this book that I cut out and hung on the wall of my room. They have been in my sock drawer all these years. I always told myself that one day I would own a Doberman like this, and now after all these years, and all the other dogs I have owned, that day is here for me.
I will share these with you to show what has always influnced the Doberman look I cherish. Of coarse I realize the breed has evolved over the years, but the tradition of the breed is sound. This was the American Doberman in its rise to stardom.

Really cool pics. All different and beautiful ear crop styles too.

Very nice and I can see why that influenced you to want one some day. They didn't let you down in your expectations either, did they?

How cool that you've had them all this time too!

I could never get rid of them, they have always been like a carrot before the horse. I have had two other Dobes - one when I was 19, and paid a whole $50.00 for, and one 10 years ago that was a gift. He was a great pet Dobe, but not a good pedigree...but he was an awesome member of the family. After he passed last year we waited a while and now have these two. And they are worth the wait.

That tail cut is defiantly the 'old style' that Louis Dobermann had his original Doberman dog have. I like that look too.
It gives more attention to the dogs body..........
