So I guess that means no UDC fall classic for you since it is also Oct 13

Yea, it was hard trying get a date that worked for us and our judge. There are lots of trials in October and the first part of November that are close to us as well. Many of my people are wanting to hit them all if possible.
I might have to go to UDC Nationals next year. Depends who is holding it.

We got a decent evening downpour but nothing like what they were calling for Luckily yesterday and today were cooler and cloudy and there is a chance of PM Thunderstorms here so might be enough for now. Sorry you guys didn't get anything

I have an appreciation for it.

That's a nice looking fence! We talked about getting the 'spikes' but in the off chance a dog did ever try to jump it... we went with the 5ft in matte bronze and NO spikes, just to be safe There were a lot of village laws to work with and they're worse when you're on a corner lot but I really like what we ended up with.

This is an old show that usually has Doberman scenes in it. This particular episode has a new dog food being produced that has been contaminated with drugs so the dogs become addicted to it. Sort of reminds me of the current dog food manufacturers of some foods being sold and recalled today.

I was admiring the ability to have two Dobermans at one time and asked how hard is it to be successful?

I personally think it's super easy when you get them a couple years apart and work with them both one on one. You'd see a side you've never seen before the way they interact together and they put a smile on my face every single day.

Della's latest thing after going out at bed time is just daring Albert to come up the stairs so she can pounce on him. LOL

If you enlarge the picture you can see taillights of a car that had driven to my end of the road where my truck was parked. Bacall and I were doing some off lead exercises on the mangrove trails and could not be seen from this road. The car drove down and turned off it’s engine and I think the guy was going to either look in my truck since it was parked sideways at the dead end or he was just looking to walk on the trail (not likely).
Bacall smelled him, gave a deep growl and ran to the side of my truck with her hair in a Mohawk. She stood her ground, never barked and the guy jumped in his car and left. She stood in the street looking to make sure he didn’t come back. What a great girl she is!!

How utterly awesome, and a great photo! Especially if you know the story. The photo also has a sort of, I don't know, 80s poster or album cover feel.

It was just getting dark when it happened. Your right it does have the 80’s feel to it.

He has that deep mahogany coloring that I love to see. Bacall is a dark mahogany, Bogie is more red.
His face is so sweet and he is such a smart boy. Having Rubie as his role model has worked out really well. Of course his excellent breeding shows!<3

@LifeofRubie

I did not get the full story on Moose. Why a Lab and not another Doberman?

Regardless, he sure is handsome. I like looking at his picts so I can observe his innocence as a puppy and now moving into a young man.

Before Ragnar, I had Alex. I originally named him Atticus, from To Kill A Mockingbird but it was mispronounced so many times, the girls just called him Alex.

Damn, I miss him.

Look at that sweet face!

My boyfriend has wanted a chocolate lab named Moose, he says, for "20 years." Might be a slight exaggeration but his Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Tootsie, passed away when he was 17-18, I believe, so not too far of a stretch. The high strung Doberman is not really his style. I was kind of adverse to getting a lab because all the labs I've met have been very... Dopey. I will say I think that's in part due to the people who generally get labs - they get a dog their kids can hang off of and don't put any work into training them because IT'S A LAB and their demeanor's are generally pretty great.

I will say that for as many qualities as they share, Moo is an entirely different dog than Rubie - as I'm sure you've noticed going from Lab to Dobe. He's not suspicious, doesn't stalk, will roll on his back the moment someone even looks like they're going to pet him, doesn't chew and swallow things, will do ANYTHING for food and without challenging you, and is such a sensitive and forgiving boy. That being said, he is being raised by a Doberman so no doubt will exhibit some Doberman behaviors but hopefully only the 'good' ones

Alex is handsome. That face just melts my heart.
I know how you must miss him. :-(

Interesting differences. I wonder if the sensitivity is a boy dog thing. I've heard people say that but Kaiser isn't sensitive and I wish that would change a little. His corrections have to be so firm.
