Little Miss Billie Bad A$$, now Millie.
Or you could pay twice as much for a puppy raised in a kennel, puppy mill, or worse 🤷‍♀️
No brainer here, I'd think 🙋‍♀️

Had to give her right ear a few days for a minor irritation to clear up before reposting. Luckily, while that ear did tip inward over the past couple of days, it did not completely fall. Ears are back up and I am
Hoping for continued easy progress, rather than the long, drawn out, pain in the arse, months and months of posting some of our previous dobermans required. This is why I do not crop puppies prior to pickup and leave that decision up to their new families. Not only does it add an additional $1000, on average, to the price of the dogs, it also requires a firm commitment to additional work and cost of care from the families taking the puppy home, if you also want those ears to stand. It's a BIG, additional, pointless expense, should you fail to follow through with the months(sometimes up to 2 years!) of posting that any given dog may require. You will either find yourself paying for repeated office visits to have a vet(likely tech) posting for you for several months, or you will feel like you should be purchasing stock on medical tape and other posting supplies. Make no mistake, this is an OPTIONAL, COSMETIC PROCEDURE based purely on personal preference. While it has long been considered AKC SHOW STANDARD, natural ears are now being accepted and shown as well.

The purpose of reducing babies was/is to get them into individual homes and avoid being couped up for longer daytime hours during bone chilling, cold weather. Warmer days are coming!
We continue to go through 100lbs of food every 3-4 days. 3rd shots are due Thursday. I've just ordered more necessary supplies to keep puppies healthy and ready to enter new homes, as well as paid another month for listing these guys.
Next Friday, after I've invested more for those vaccine boosters, I will be adjusting again to reflect the additional costs.
I love what I do, but I have my own dogs to consider as well. I cannot raise your puppy at his or her parents' expense. You don't get happy, healthy puppies if mom and dad are not happy and healthy first. This is full, fair disclosure. If you're looking at a specific puppy, at the current specific listing price, this week is it. Next weekend they absorb the cost of their continued care with us. It will be reflected in updated listings late Thursday evening or early Friday morning.
ZEB, COOL, TIGER, ITTY, PUPPET, AND POPPY ARE STILL WAITING and being taken care of. Pictures do not show the $400 water bill I pay tomorrow or the bleach, chlorhexidine, treats, laundry detergent, gloves, litter, bedding, etc, that I pickup on my own time and collect paper receipts for.

Chaos went home with a lovely, young couple today. Early 20s with a toddler and another dog at home. The best part? I KNOW in my soul that I put a safe, great dog into a safe, great home, at a price that didn't break the bank for a new family building a life together.
God is good 🙌
Thank you, D&T.
Enjoy that baby.

Poppy is sick of the circus and hoping a family will find her and give her a private pen this weekend, away from her rowdy siblings. It must be a serious ask, coming from such a fun loving girl.

Imagine that. Dobermans, like all domesticated dogs, began as mixed breed 🤯

Happy birthday 🎉
to the founder of our wonderful breed!

Happy birthday to the founder of our wonderful breed

A Brief History of the Dobermann

The Dobermann is the only dog breed originating in Germany that is named after its creator, Karl Friedrich Louis Dobermann, who lived in the town of Apolda, Germany.

Dobermann is believed to have worked as a tax collector and, alongside this, as a dogcatcher. In that role he was authorised to capture stray dogs, and it is thought that these dogs formed the foundation of his breeding programme. His aim was to create a dog with strong instinctive intelligence, courage, loyalty, and fast response.

Early influences are believed to include the so-called butcher dogs (early Rottweilers), which were relatively pure at the time, along with various Pinschers. The French shepherd Beauceron is also thought to have contributed, as the four recognised colours — black, brown (red), blue, and Isabella — are common to both breeds. The German Shepherd likely played a role in the early stages as well.

In 1895, the breed was officially recognised in Germany under the name “Doberman Pinscher” (later shortened to Dobermann). Sadly, Karl Dobermann never lived to see this recognition, having passed away one year earlier.

His work was continued by two fellow Apolda citizens:
• Otto Göller (Kennel von Thüringen)
• Göswin Tischler (Kennel von Grönland)

In 1899, the first Dobermann breed club was established, with Otto Göller serving as chairman.

Around the turn of the century, the English Manchester Terrier was introduced to refine the coat and create darker, more clearly defined markings. This breed also contributed the compact, almost cat-like paws seen in Dobermanns today.

At that time, the Dobermann was a relatively small dog, standing around 56 cm, with a less refined appearance. To add height, elegance, and athleticism, black Greyhound blood was introduced. Since around 1910, no other breeds have been added to the Dobermann’s development.

For many years, Dobermanns were widely used as guard dogs and police K9s. As breeding priorities evolved, aiming for a more balanced and stable temperament, the Dobermann became known not only as a working dog but also as a deeply loyal family companion.

Somebody please tell me there's a pet supply company called "roadkill"?
I just overheard an older woman lamenting that indestructible toys are not, even for her Boston terriers. A random, older man said he finds roadkill to be the best, most durable option for his dogs😬
I pray I missed something here or that it's an actual toy or company, but from the hand motions I saw, as I steared clear of that one, I suspect he was being literal.
