She's Home!

Our little Tayla has now come home to stay! She is just so precious and cute!




The little headgear she is wearing will hold her ears up so that the cartilage in her ears will harder upright giving her that doberman look.

I'll post more pictures once everything gets a little more settled and it's not so crazy late at night with a puppy, a dog, and a hubby waiting to cuddle with me :)

Tayla is now 6 weeks old

So I'm having issues with the latest batch of puppy pictures. So here is a link to the breeder's site with the cutesy wutesy puppy pictures :)

Tayla

Once on the site you can click on Next Pictures in the upper right corner and see the latest pics :)

Newest Puppy Pics

Here are the newest pics on our new little Puppy. We are feeling pretty solid with the name Tayla, we like it :)


So here are the pups just after they opened their eyes at two weeks old



And here they are at 4 weeks old




They are just getting so big! We are so excited to have a new little baby :)

The Bad Rap

So I know that Dobermans are known to be aggressive. Almost everyone who we tell that we are getting a Doberman looks very scared for us and tells us "Well, ok, I guess. Those are just really hard dogs and you have to be so careful with them" or something like that. You can see it in their eyes that they see the breed as a mean one and think we are making a bad choice.

I guess I just want people to understand that this dog does not deserve the bad rap that they have been given so I am posting some of my favorite YouTube videos of Dobermans.

This guy who does these first two has had his dogs become a small YouTube sensation. He has a Doberman and a Chihuahua. The two dogs have been on TV twice now. They are pretty funny :)

If you want to see more of his YouTube videos, they are at http://www.youtube.com/user/cwdressen

This lady is just showing off how gentle her dog is, which is cute :)

These next two videos are from this breeder that I wish that I could afford :)

(We decided 3 grand was just a bit too much for a dog)

Their dogs are fully trained personal protectors, but these videos show the dogs with the kids. They also have live video feeds of their current litters which I just happen to watch maybe a little too much

The boy in this next video is the same in the previous one, just two years later. My favorite part doesn't really start till half way through when instead of around the yard the kids are walking the dog in a Home Depot and then a PetsMart:)

So anyway, these are just some of my favorite videos and I guess I don't know how to say this without being preachy, but I feel very strong about not judging the breed but the people who own the dog.

I hate breed banning legislation, like with how Pit Bulls are illegal in Denver now, and maybe one day I'll blog a rant and rave about that, but for now just know that I am 110% positive that Mike's and I will have a Doberman just as sweet and fun loving as Brody :) :)

Heston

Well Kaytee sent me this video and I've been trying to convince her to post something about Heston and how smart he is, but she's taking too long! :)

So here is a very adorable video Kaytee took, though it was with her cell phone so that's why it's just a little shaky

Heston is just so smart and learning so fast :)

Jackson and Brody

So I came across these videos of Jackson playing with Brody and I just couldn't help but post a bunch. They are so cute together!

First Comes Love, Then Comes Marriage......

And then comes another puppy!!

Yes that's right, we decided to get another puppy :)

We are getting a Doberman! I know! It's so exciting :) :)

So we start with the picture from July 11th, the day that our new little girl was born

The mother's name is Foxy and the father is Gino. Though there were several of the red dobermans born, we are getting the classic Black and Rust color.

Then here are the puppies at 1 day old

Now we don't know which of the girls will be ours because the breeders are going to be keeping one of the Black and Rust girls. So when they are about 5 weeks old they are getting genetically tested and microchipped and all that jazz.

And here are the pups at 5 days old

We are working with our work schedules to see when to go pick up the puppy. It's going to be either the 5th or the 12th of September. And for the first 6 weeks or so after we get her the pictures will look ridiculous because she will have this headgear on. It is to get the cartilage in her ears to stand up and give her that Doberman look.

Here are the puppies at 6 days old. As you can see, they've already had their tails docked.

The name that we are partial to at the moment is Tayla, anyone else know some good doggie names?
