Thanks to all who commented on Addie's first-show pictures. It was a great learning experience for him. He ended up wih a nickname...Baby Lip ( short for Lippizaner in honour of all his 'airs above ground'. Today he got best baby puppy (breed) , only 'cause his brother who beat him Friday and Saturday went home. Still.... first ribbon for my cavorting boy. I'll take it!

Oh wow...look at Della go!

I forgot to say that's he's a good boy for respecting his boundaries like that. I had to start putting Albert in the fence to play with his eGGe because he travelled so fast that he didn't even realize he was getting out of his boundaries when he was focused on the toy.

Thanks. It's just an inexpensive one I found on Amazon. Good protection at the dog park from other dogs trying to bite him. Once he's full grown I'm going to find a similar but nicer one. This one doesn't have any padding on the inside and isn't real leather.

If you look closely you can see some skin sticking out above his collars. He has a bunch of loose skin there - kind of a turkey neck.
Is that normal at his age? Will he grow into that skin or is that a dobe trait that I was unaware of?

The loose skin on the neck, under the chin is called a wet neck. Euro dobes seem to be more likely to have it. It very well may fill out a bit with age. I believe a standing photo is much more fair to determine if the dog has a wet neck. A wet neck is considered a fault.

His collar is pretty sweet! The brass color is sharp on him!

FCI Standard said:
NECK: The neck must have a good length and be in proportion to the body and the head. It is dry and muscular. Its outline rises gradually and is softly curved. Its carriage is upright and shows much nobility.
Fault - NECK: Slightly short; too short; loose skin around the throat; dewlap; too long (not in harmony); ewe neck.

AKC Standard said:
NECK, TOPLINE, BODY Neck proudly carried, well muscled and dry. Well arched, with nape of neck widening gradually toward body. Length of neck proportioned to body and head.
Commentary: ' "Well Muscled and dry" means the neck should be strong and firm without being thick or bullish and has no loose skin.'

Not the best picture of me (long day at work and no makeup Monday haha) but finally captured her nightly routine. Climb behind me on the couch, full body lean into my back with her head over my shoulder watching TV.

That face though! I double tapped (on my phone to zoom in) and it centered perfectly around his face. Best dobe face ever!! Great shot!
