Doggie ping
(and probably a “Disapproving doberman” ping....
My wife and I both picked Fifi to win WKC this past year.
Unfortunetly, the political winds went another direction.
That is he trouble with the WKC show.
Riiiight.
If I have a doberman, I’ll call her Fifi, too.
I live in SC and my husband and I want to get a Dobi for our young daughter because all the research I have done into the breed makes it a perfect fit for us. Having said that, I am having difficulty finding a reputable breeder. Do any of you know of anyone in SC who breeds Dobis??
Great picture, but it causes flashbacks to The Boys from Brazil.
A doberman named Fifi? That’s like a boy named Sue.
Hi, MissEdie. Go to www.dpca.org and then click on accept. Scroll all the way to the bottom and you will find three or four breeders from South Carolina (with their individual emails and phone numbers). Good luck.. they are wonderful family dogs and they adore kids. Hugs, Mom
We’re Weim folks...I like the look of Doberman’s too. Last month we found ourself “Weimless” for the first time in many years (old age took one dog, and a few months later, lymphoma claimed our other Weim.)
So we adopted through the Big Dog Ranch Rescue in Florida (they merged with a Florida Weim rescue) and have lots of Weims. But they have all breeds. No kill shelter, large acrerage near West Palm, but a lot of the dogs are fostered around the state. There was a doberman mix called Buck and he was a gorgeous dog. (shameless plug for this rescue organization because they do a good job.) http://bdrr.org/adoptable-dogs/
Also, here’s a story about a Weim rescue that turned out to make it to Westminster (video at link.) http://www.lifewithdogs.tv/2012/02/rescued-weimaraner-to-show-at-westminster-2012/
Oh my... there’s always one jokester around here... :-) Great movie..
Thanks for posting. That is one beautiful dog.
Damned nice looking Dobe.
I am the pickiest snit on earth about Dobes and the *only* thing I would change about her is for her to have the wee-est bit more under jaw.
And that’s it.
The dog is damn near perfection.
[but her being kinfolk to ‘Halla via the Briarwood lines ~might~ influence me just a *tiny* bit]
She got ripped off by the stinking Peke last year and the politics of the announcers droning on about “hey...who else has a Portuguese Water Dog?” crap this year.
She’ll have the last laugh.
The dog is a compulsive winner.
Her accomplishments are greater because of the sheer number of other Dobes she’s had to beat just to become a champion.
PWDs have a very small breed class and have to beat *far* fewer dogs to win.
“Easy champions” are common in the uncommon breeds.
Action/cut/print.
:)
I'm sorry; but, a Doberman named Fifi???? What has the world come to?
More dog shows need to require the breeds to be able to perform the function for which they were originally bred.
The dog able to perform the most impressive feats would then become “best in show”, as opposed to whomever the judges decide is most deserving of winning a canine beauty contest.
We can’t help it if the larger breeds would, by and large, trump the smaller breeds given those parameters. ;)
