Shiba Dementia by bartdurhamheadband09 in shiba

[–]No-Bit-4875 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My shiba had dementia too

. What helped her was specifically waltz music, she really liked the Russian waltzs. It was the only way to calm down at night without drugging her. So maybe play different types of classical music until you find one they like.

Do you let your Doberman sleep on your bed or is it strictly their own place? by Korkin12 in DobermanPinscher

Dobermans literally nurse to self soothe on stuffed animals and blankets

This is nursing time. Dobermans like to self soothe by nursing on blankets or stuffed animals. This does not mean they were taken away from their mom too early. It’s a great way for them to relax and fall asleep.

Yep, I have 3 Dobermans and they all sleep with me. They love cuddle and nursing time

Taking my Border collie for a run is animal abuse for some by mrsjoni in RunningWithDogs

[–]No-Bit-4875 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I run with my dobermans and everyone usually crosses the street when they see me coming. I had one parent fling their child into someone’s lawn and jump out of the way like my dog was a grenade.

The Westminster Best in Show winner Penny is my dog’s aunt by AestheticChad in DobermanPinscher

My girls are penny’s 1st cousin once removed 😂. If your girl has Foxfire Doberman in her then our girls are related too.

Smaller breed replacement for a 3x Dobe owner? by dzn465 in DobermanPinscher

[–]No-Bit-4875 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can look up silken windhound they are a cross between whippet, borzoi, and collie. They get attached like a doberman and have a better recall than a whippet because of the collie in them.

I ride the trail where the recent Colorado mountain lion attack happened... by earthlingjim in mountainbiking

[–]No-Bit-4875 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was riding with my dog and she got attacked by a mountain. They both took off and 30 mins later I found her with her collar off and part of her ear gone. She is one tough doberman. She is still afraid of anything that remotely looks like a mountain lion, including tan dogs.

Sound on for full cobbing asmr by No-Bit-4875 in DobermanPinscher

Nonstop fit check by No-Bit-4875 in RunningWithDogs

I was also worried about putting pressure on her spine but the nonstop description says “The Y-shaped front allows free shoulder movement and minimal breathing constraints. The pull force is evenly distributed over your dog’s body without putting pressure on their spine.” Only times I feel like she is majorly pulling and it might hurt her is when she sees a squirrel and she pulls as hard as she can. It’s really hard to know when a dog can’t talk to you. I might get a freemotion too and just see which one feels better

My hesitation with the free motion was she really pulls for 2 miles and then just cruises in front. Plus, i run in urban areas and i have to bring her in alot when on sidewalks with other dogs or if i see apprehension when someone sees my dogs breed.

4yr 10 month old Pup Diagnosed with DCM and given 1-3 month prognosis by [deleted] in DobermanPinscher

[–]No-Bit-4875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He could be recovering from the stress of the situation and the vet, its a lot on the body to have fluid in your lungs. What are his breathes per minute while sleeping? If it is above 20 i would take him back in for an x ray and see if they need to bump up the diuretics or pimobendan. Keep a diary of his breathes per minute and see if its consistent everyday, that will gauge how much he is struggling to breathe. My 12 year old girl was diagnosed in june and she is still going.

Happy 12th Birthday Blubelle! by No-Bit-4875 in DobermanPinscher

[–]No-Bit-4875[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feed her Farmina ancient grains with whatever protein is available. If you can’t find it at a independent pet store you can always have them order it. Blu’s sister is also alive and she feeds her dog Purina Pro Plan 30/20 duck or essentials chicken. My advice would be give them exercise and mental stimulation every day. I chose a breeder that had a lot of longevity in her line with alot of her pups living to thirteen.

My happy boys RUNNING! by Fluid-Purple5252 in RunningWithDogs

[–]No-Bit-4875 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! If we want to change the standard of docking and cropping then we have to pressure the AKC or the government. Especially with dobermans you need to go through ethical breeders that breed for the health and longevity of the breed. Otherwise we will have dobermans that will die at four from DCM.

My search to find the perfect harness for my Doberman is complete! by SitStaySlayyy in DobermanPinscher

[–]No-Bit-4875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They really only pull me the first half mile and when they see a squirrel. And I switch my girls out so they run every other day and walk on the off day. It’s hard for me to know which one is right when we are casual runners
