Ozzy at 10 months part 2

[Marko1962]

On todays walk the sun was out and I took a better camera so I've posted some better shots but first since last week we've been back to the Schutz club. Last week Ozzy spat the sleeve out, this week we didn't use a sleeve, we used a device that resembles a long rolling pin with a bite sleeve shaped centre. I've not seen one before and I can't find one on the net to show what it looks like but Ozzy loved it, full bites and with a vigour lacking from last week, he nearly pulled the helper over and I had to use all my strength to hold him back and when he went on his victory lap he killed the sleeve, he shook it to death.

Tracking was good again but his obedience was embarrassing at first as he was being very naughty lunging for my pant legs, I had to correct him more than once but once he settled down he was good, healing, sit, stays, long sit stays and recalls although he tends to shoot past me by a yard on the recall. There's always things to work on...

So here are the new better pictures

Back on the reserve again...

This is what I'm up against when he decides to imitate a train, 115 Ib of muscle...

The closest I can get to him doing a free stack...

Thats all for now folks

Wow he's gorgeous Marco and I can see he's solid muscle!

 

[zmchristopher]

Wow Marko! Hes a stunner! I dont envy you being on the other side of that lead though. Hes got lovely markings hasnt he, really stand out nice and clear, Zeus has got a 'darker muzzle' which sometimes I wish was more prominent

Wow..pictures are great..He's a big boy for 115 lbs at only 10 months I need to get a better camera!

 

[Ingrid H]

Ozzy sure has grown up and is looking awesome!

 

[Denissov43]

Mark: he is just turning out nicer and nicer each month! He is a bruiser! What a handsome lad and what a 'Bull in a China shop" too... a 'train' is right! just attach a harness and a sully and you have a great way to get to town and back!
behemouth!
hey.. time to trim those nails though... he is too big and too heavy for nails that long. They need to be uber short for him since he is such a powerhouse. If Tina where still here... you would be having the "Nail police" On you over this!
dremel tool... keep them flat on the tips and short, short, short!
Just 'Fyi"....

Handsome guy. Obviously powerful. Love the collar. One little tip on the recalls, make them shorter. Start out from like 5 feet away, speed and distance come later. Glad protection and tracking went well. The OB will get there.

 

[Marko1962]

I read out all your comments to Ozzy and he told me to tell you "wuf wooof" (thank you)

Jan, Zoe, he's a real hard headed mass of meat, he's been far the strongest dog I've ever had and he's not finished filling out yet

Zoe, we as a Dobermann community want, no demand, that you to go get your camera, take Zeus out to where all the dead planes are and get us our Zues fix, we've not seen him for a while

AxelRose, yes he's a big lad a tad too big but I love him the way he is, he's a handful but I wouldn't have it any other way and he's my best pal, we mostly go everywhere together

 

[zmchristopher]

Im sooooo sorry Marko & everyone else! I will get right on it lol

 

[Marko1962]

Good stuff Zoe, I mean what else have you as a young mother got to do on a lazy bank holiday lol

Ingrid, he's going to look even more awesome when his early Christmas pressy comes

Diva, I've got a Dremel somewhere in the house so it's just a case of finding it then strapping Ozzy down whilst he has his manicure, he will not submit willingly lol

Jess I will get right onto it oh and that collar is just a local pet shop thing. I've got a much superior hand made collar being wrought as we speak, his last collar, a buckle collar blew apart when Ozzy lunged a couple of weeks ago, I'm never going to use a buckle collar again they are just not strong enough...

 

[MyBuddy]

He looks awesome! Love the 'train'!!!

 

[zmchristopher]

LOL marko cheeky sod Im non stop ! which of ingrids collars have you ordered? smart aint they!! I want one for Zeus

 

[Marko1962]

Haha I do remember what it's like bringing up kids but thankfully it's a distant memory and I don't plan to go there ever again

So you are a detective are you, I said Ozzys getting a new Christmas present and he's having a collar made and you put 2 & 2 together and come up with the right conclusion lol, I've asked Ingrid to make me a Shotgun Delux I think it will look awesome on him

 

[JanS]

Oh he'll look great in it! LOL, that's a really early Christmas present.

Albert has a Shotgun Deluxe on order too, so we're going to call that one of his birthday presents.

 

[zmchristopher]

Im not a detective Marko, Im just a woman ha ha!! Nothings goes a miss with us ladies you should know that by now!!! I love that collar thats the one I want!!!!

 

[Marko1962]

Or on the other hand it could be a belated Christmas present, yes lets make it that

I think Ingrid was a bit surprised when I told her Ozzys neck size, I have yet to see her reaction since I've sent her revised sizes based on his current collar, I initially must have measured it too tight
