I feel dumb because I don't have any Doberman pictures. How many pictures can I take of the park, the backyard or the training field? 
I'm taking Cooper to the sheep farm on Saturday when I judge Rally training, so hopefully I'll have some Doberman pictures.
Here's several pictures I took while herding with Sabrina. She's 14 pounds soaking wet and a tiny little thing. But she can move sheep!
I bought a cheap drone on Amazon (Sygma currently $45) and am having fun taking pictures with it. I put the drone camera in video mode and make screen captures for photos. Here I'm buzzing the sheep. The lines in the pasture are part of the AHBA herding trial and are re-plowed for a trial. The flock has to stay on the 'road' and cross the 'bridge' in the foreground, making several 90 degree turns as it goes through the course. For my own reference, I named the lanes after streets in Manhattan, the lane with the bridge being Broadway.
Below is the duck course.
Sabrina on the duck course.
And if you're interested, a local newszine, Chasing New Jersey, did a 3 minute segment on the reporter taking the Herding Instinct Test last Saturday which aired on Tuesday. The reporter video'd the whole thing with his Samsung Galaxy S4 smart phone and a GoPro 3 or 4 on his puggle. In the shots where you can see him and his dog, I was holding his camera and I make a 1/10th of a second appearance when the GoPro picks me up. The video ends with the farm camel eating the reporters face.

Sabrina is adorable! And a drone! Lucky you! I'll bet that is fun! Was that you about the 2min mark on the video? White shirt, I think.
Yes, I was in the lower right corner using Mike's phone to video him. Mike and I were talking about drones. He said people he knows start with the toy drone I have and upgrade to professional quality. I'm already drooling over a $1,200 drone, but that's not going to happen!
What's this about Dobes not being good at tracking? They have excellent sniffers! And yes, I've always remembered what I read years ago that the world tracking record belongs to a Doberman.
Yeah, Masaya Dobermans can be some high performers in IPO!
If I ever get my video tapes transferred to digital, I will be able to post a link to a video here that shows a pretty neat scent-work feat performed by my first Dobie.

Awww, I think I see You in your little girls eyes!!
Nobody better ask me 'which little girl'!
River just amazes me...
She is a crazy nut for the most part, but enter baby and River just becomes so gentle and sweet.
edit: guess I shouldn't say "crazy nut"
River is a very confident dog. She likes her food and her play time. She is a really cool dog that is fun to work with. She just somehow changes when her baby is around.

Idk, crazy nut is pretty correct sometimes, lol. She has been pretty good about being gentle around "her" baby but we do limit their access still while Izzy is so small. It is funny how wrong I was about the dogs' reactions. Spock still doesn't so much care that she's here but Riv has been very into her. She is a bit jealous, though and tries to climb in my lap when I'm sitting on the floor playing with Izzy. They did get in trouble last week for wrestling in the house near the baby, lol.

Cooper had his Herding Instinct Test today. He passed no problem! After all the Rally people left today, I was told I could work Sabrina for a bit and we had a good workout. Then I was asked if I wanted to do a quickie HIT with Cooper. Sure! So he was loose outside the course with three sheep inside. He ran around the fence trying to get them. Then we went inside and he chased them. At this stage with no training, that's ok. When we were done, I asked, "Where's the sheep???" Sheep stick together and I only saw one at the end of the course by herself. Then I looked around and saw the other two hiding behind obstacles! Cooper will do good because he halted when I told him to SIT. I'll start training him in the basic commands in the park when I take Sabrina.
I was able to take pictures of him outside. I was inside holding his long line, so no pictures of that.
Cooper taking a corner.
He was so frustrated at not being able to get to the sheep, he tried digging under the fence.
"Dad! Lemme in there!!!"

Best friends love to snuggle ... I'm going to have to write a book on these two and their friendship
