Congratulations @GennyB!
Wow...just wow! A beautiful euro girl. I'm so excited for you!
Well, it was definitely worth the wait and suspense lol
Can't wait to see pics of her. She is going to be....'out of this world.'
Greta will be watching over you and your new girl. Share the joy and sorrow you felt
with her with your new
pup. This will help her connect
with and understand you. I personally found it helpful to share my memories of Max with Kobi. I take his head and cradle it in my hands, look into those big brown eyes and share all of those wonderful times we had with him. Yes, I'm often tearful but it's okay and makes me feel good to know that I'm sharing my love for one that I've lost with another. In time your new girl will shine too, in her own unique way!
I so look forward to sharing your journey with her. I couldn't be more happier for you!

Oh wow lipar land ! Lol and I thought you weren't a fan of euros
Honestly, it's not that I'm not a fan per say, it's just I much prefer a combo like Drake. You get the best of both worlds.
I love euro heads and their rich rust markings. I don't like that they don't have much tuck up and they can look a little over done. I don't like to use hate, so dislike intensely that they can have that short back, little butt look...not a fan. As far as American bred, I love their sleek elegant look, nice tuck up and balanced look. I don't like the tan markings (standard says rust) or the light bone. Their necks are moving to almost a swan look and those pointy heads just make them look umm, breakable? IDK, just to delicate.Give me a combination and I think you have the perfect dobie.
So whose the sore and dam ? Are they drogons parents ? I need pics !
Let's try this again, don't know why it didn't show up the first time.
I'm very surprised that you went Euro! You said everyone would be surprised. Can't wait to see the little girl!
It was actually hubby that approached me with the idea. After talking with Vera several times I decided to go with her. Was it a tough decision, yep! But I think the right one. She puts no pressure on you to do anything with your pup and certainly understands if you can't make that commitment. That was the biggest problem I was having with breeders in the states. They want this contract with promises of finishing the pup when they can't promise that you will be able to. Not to mention the remarks, sometimes caddy, if you could only commit to a "pet". I'm not knocking the process, I do understand it to an extent the process, It's just not for me.
I want to discover together what we want and can do, make sense? The experiment of discovery is part of the journey for me.
That male really is a big boy isn't he? I really like the dam. She doesn't have as refined head as the NA females do but I just like her overall body. When I think of a doberman, that's exactly what I think of!
Oh this is so exciting for you! I guess the hardest part will be the anticipation until you finally get to meet your new little girl.

Welcome to the family. I've seen Valencia a few times but haven't seen her pedigree. I thought for a while she was Valdo's litter mate but haven't found anything or asked and base that just off looks and the "V" name.
You mentioned this so I looked at both their pedigrees. They're at least siblings if not litter mates. Same sire and dam.
Vera sent me some stuff on Valencia and honestly I can"t remember. I'm just too excited. Nice girl though, don't you think?
When we were talking, I did most of my research on the sire because I was not as familiar with him. I think I got myself a nice girl with a great pedigree and I think nothing but the best of Vera. She has been wonderful and oh so patient with me as I went through this process.

The more I think about it I think I did ask Vera at one point and she confirmed Valencia and Valdo were litter mates. I guess that makes Drogon and Rumor cousins. Vera is great. She won me over too.
OMG, just catching up with the news this morning and I have to say, I am tingling with joy for you @GennyB !!!!!!!! How exciting and what a gorgeous mom and dad!!! Can't wait to see her and live vicariously through you!!! I still have the chills!!! lol I know how much time, effort and emotion you put into this search! I'm so glad to see a happy ending! Well.......it's really just the beginning, isn't it?
I can see her happily chasing a ball, and taking a chunk out of some guy's leg. Yup that's a Doberman!
Since there are 3 girls, how will you go about picking one out?
The breeder and I have talked extensively. She understands what I am looking for in a pup. So she will be making the choice.

Hell yeah to all of that! I wanted so badly the perfect pup for me. I'm convinced this is it! I knew people would be surprised this is the route I went, but everything about it is perfect for me. I have a great supportive breeder that won't be up my butt to perform. She sincerely wants a good home for her baby. That's all I can promise at this point. She WILL have a good home, be well trained and happy at the very least. What dog could ask for more?
That's wonderful. It's great you can trust her so much to do so. I know you'll end up with a awesome little girl that will make you tear your hair out while loving her to death. (Isn't that how it's supposed to be?
)
Its everything I would ask for too!! Good for you!

I do trust her completely. Don't forget it works both ways. She is trusting me too. She is giving me lots of freedom here. Letting us discover our journey as well as decide when/if to spay her. You just won't find that.
I feel I have proven myself as a responsible owner and think I can and should be trusted to make the right decisions for my girl. Just as Vera has proven her self as a breeder. IMO, there has to be some trust on both sides for success.
Yes. I feel that way too about the sometimes tiny-appearing butts. The other thing that bothers me in some IMO "overdone" Euros is too much forechest. That said, I'll take a nice Euro over an overly "refined" N/A. I like your term "breakable."Honestly, it's not that I'm not a fan per say, it's just I much prefer a combo like Drake. You get the best of both worlds.
Give me a combination and I think you you the perfect dobie.

Well, wow! Thank you for the picture! Nice! Hoo boy, the dam looks about 25% more manly than Oji!
That's a compliment.

Yeah, the huge chest thing is part if what I meant in my overdone statement.
In fact the look of the sire if this is bordering on what I don't like. The breeder and I discussed it at length. Oh, by the way, another reason to like Vera, she is willing to discuss without becoming offended. I like that personally.
She explained to me what she hopes to achieve with this breeding. I liked what I heard and am hoping for the best. Oh course there are no guarantees but the risk vs reward is worth it to me. Besides I'll love her anyway and am sure she will work out perfect for us.
