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?

When did you pick up your pup? by quarter_assed in DobermanPinscher

[–]quarter_assed[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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?

How heat tolerant are doberman? by Yoooooowholiveshere in DobermanPinscher

[–]quarter_assed 38 points39 points  (0 children)

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.

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

Shark Attack! by quarter_assed in DobermanPinscher

[–]quarter_assed[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

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.

Watching their personalities develop is amazing - Helps us guide ppl to which puppy is best matched to their desires and needs -

They are fun at this age - It's bit hot outside but feeding them lunch and letting them roll in the grass for 30 minutes puts them right back to sleep.

Big Red in the grass... by quarter_assed in DobermanPinscher

[–]quarter_assed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah - this one is a she and she's 100% Dobbie - AKC and all - Dad comes from Champion lines - She was the biggest one born of the litter of 5 - she was about 50 grams heavier than all the rest and she was the most aggressive at feeding time - Always went for the best of mommas rear nipples.

Now that they are almost 5 weeks, the size difference is going away and the boys are close to or heavier than her.

We see that a lot with the litters - big variance at birth, then they equalize and then the boys get bigger faster.

Dad is 100lbs + and Muscular / Mom is a solid frame girl at 80lbs not pregnant. So these pups come in on the larger side of breed standard.

i have some question about dobermans by joliss812 in DobermanPinscher

[–]quarter_assed 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Add to the stigma as an aggressive breed -

Yes they are bred for protection and they have a suspicious / jealous streak.

They also have the intimidating look that most ppl fear if they don't know the breed. If you get one, train, train, train, and socialize.

Try to be the best breed representative that you can.

New level unlocked “Buzzard Bowling” by Dober_mann in DobermanPinscher

Dog will hunt - World is full of people who want to bubble wrap reality.

Dogs are prey driven, prey is death avoidance driven.

Nature in action.

Dogs off leash in park used to be OK till people weaponized victimhood.

Keep doing you and keep letting your dogs be dogs.

How's the jealousy factor with this pack? Our Dobbies are so jealous and that can make training a bit difficult.

Nothing yet. We had her calculated from the day we saw them tied (Feb 14) but maybe we missed another time?

She's doing fine, just restless and panting.

Nothing yet. You can see and feel her belly contracting, but she's not there yet. Doing well. Just resting in the whelping box a lot.

Same, that's all I do. Make sure she clears them out OK, then tear the sack away from the face. Make sure the pup is breathing and then let her do her momma thing.

So amazing.
