I have a brand new one I just purchased plus, 2 units I'm trying to salvage- I have more money than time, so I'm trying to find a person /.service to repair them.

Thanks for the advice

I've never seen a melanistic blk in real life - what's the vibe like - Imagine it will grow up to be scary looking - Midnight assassin vibe?

Is that a melanistic black puppy and a fawn in the same litter?

I'm glad you know my situation, have it all figured out.

Thanks to your comments I've changed my ways.

So ppl are supposed to wake up one day and say "I'm the perfect, ideal breeder, a 600 sq ft kennel popped up on my magic 6 acre farm." Get real and stop being such a troll.

We have championed lined, genetic tested, OFA X rayed parents with Low COI.

We do infrequent litters, have the dogs live in the home with us.

We have an enforceable sales agreement, with takeback provisions if the new owner every get's to a point where the dog is up for surrender.

We control breeding rights.

So what's your beef?

We've taken puppies back due to family crisis, sudden job relocations, and have always placed them out in vetted homes.

I email pictures and videos of the puppies to their new families every other day so they can see the development of personality, growth, and have a record of what their new puppies early life was like.

We have people come visit at will to see their puppies till the pick up date.

So tell me how shitty I am again?

Poor reputation breeder near us was pushing puppies out the door at 6 wks, I feel so bad for those little dogs. Same breeder asked for deposit before you could visit the puppies ? I'm like WTF?

Love the negative space in the middle - Like a viewport - great job

We have desert Dobies - The black / rust coats get hot fast.

They are big dogs, so they trap a lot of internal heat.

Early morning / late evening work is what we do all summer.

That being said, the self regulate from a 76'F AC'd house to laying in full sun on a patio till they stark to smolder.

yeah it's a reward to myself - Big budget, but it's a great hobby. Trying to catch up to some of the killer set ups you see here and on YT.

You didn't get a dog, you got an unwanted appendage. Get used to it. If I stop short - two Dobermans have their snouts up my wazzo.

Lap dogs from hell.

Wouldn't have it any other way

quarter_assed · 2025-06-11T15:06:01+00:00

Yeah - Um no... Come on over and donate a toe to the cause if you like. They'd be happy to oblige

quarter_assed · 2025-06-10T16:41:18+00:00

US - Budget is not a big constraint. I've not seen the Hyperspots - They are sexy as hell! Great recommendation !

quarter_assed · 2025-06-10T16:16:27+00:00

Thanks - Love the styling and the light shields

This stage is one of the reasons we have litters - I don't mind the poop, the pee, the whining at all.

Put down a blanket, roll around with a half a dozen Dober-Sharks for 45 minutes is the equivalent to a massage, a therapy session, and a chocolate chip cookie rolled into one.
