This would be a great calendar shot if it was in landscape format.
That is great news!

Thanks
He doesn't have the greatest genetics (he is pretty diverse, but vWD and PDK4) and is from a BYB so I'll take good news where I can get it.

LOL Jan that's thinking ahead..
What a cute pup either way.
Believe it or not, it's almost time to start the contests for the 2018 calendars. Where does time go???

One of the earliest pics of my tall boy.. he was five weeks and his first visit to the water! I knew with the mix of breeds he is that he was supposed to be a big dog, but it just was so hard to imagine with how small he was (4 lbs) and with such tiny little legs! Boy... since he's made a believer outta me!!
Buddy would be saying, "What? No carrots???!"
When I carry carrots down to the horse barn, he's walking backwards ahead of me, begging for a piece! lol

My idiots LOVE carrots. And celery. And parsley (don't ask ...) And well basically anything they think is human food.
Kaizer was 7 pounds when I brought him home! Like you, I knew he'd grow into a big dog, but it was soooo hard to remember and visualize when he was that tiny! He couldn't even make it up the steps to get in the house!
Then
And now - this was during a break in our walk. He was watching birds about 10 feet away. For those who remember his reactivity issues, this is HUGE for him. Not much later a Chihuahua rounded the corner about 10 feet away and while he did break his sit and watch very closely, there was no barking or growling! He now only reacts to reactive dogs, but it's improving big time.

Oh goodness he sure was (and still is) adorable! I miss when Brinks was little and then I don't 
lol he's still a baby just a lot bigger - more to cuddle! I wish people who got puppies would just give them to me to watch during the day so I can get my puppy fix. What a good boy, brinks can also be reactive and it's so heartening when they improve just even a little bit. Mine are whooped after playing for a few solid hours at the beach today, surprisingly Odyssey was the one who just wouldn't quit though Brinks doesn't need much (none) egging on. She did most of the swimming, I have a Goughnuts toy that btw I would recommend to ANYONE truly wonderful indestructible floats and the dogs love it, anywho I brought that and was throwing it however she was the only one that swam Brinks would wait patiently by the shore so he could nab it from her as soon as she got back! Then a tug fight would ensue, hehe. There was all kinds of foot traffic on the beach and the dogs were excellent, they'd say a quick polite hello if I told them it was ok and then were right back to playing on their own. Both received many compliments, most noticed the shepherd in Brinks and then the Dobe when I told them. I think the fact he is hairy with wild ears and a ten foot bushy tail doesn't exactly scream the typical picture of a dobe hehe. They even got to meet a truly tiny chihuahua and were fascinated! Lol! However they were both very cautious about where they were stepping and otherwise gentle with the little guy.

PHEW! We made it home from our Austin vacation but I'm turning right back around today and headed to Seattle/Portland for work for a few days. Dingo was at boarding while we were gone and is still catching up on her ZZZ's. Unlike her last stay, she ate ALL her food this time which made us really happy (and feel less guilty about leaving her).

Considering they've also eaten pickles and olives (green ones at that!) I'm pretty much convinced they don't believe they are dogs. Lol.
@Brioddy - I'm actually the exact opposite! I can't wait to get past the puppy stage! I was a nervous wreck until he was about 6 months old and I felt like i could finally relax and not worry about him getting hurt so easily. Little dogs are terrifying lol now I just have to sometimes remember that he's still a puppy, albeit a giant one lol
