brought some more puppy toys today, I like to plan ahead! Also got a gorgeous bright purple matching collar and lead puppies not born yet, waiting, waiting.

Put me in for waiting for a puppy, Of course I wont spill too much until I know for sure there is a puppy for me

how terribly sad :D That poor dobe!

it would be great to see more photo comparisons of working vs show breeds, I recall there being a significant difference in working and show German Shepherds.

I am surprised to see how sparse graceville was 70 years ago, it is hard to believe it, its covered in houses and trees now..

I am just glad they found the girl, I only hope she is properly punished for the mistreatment of the puppies, apology or not. There was no reason for her to do it the way she did.

wow your now house is gorgeous! It looks perfect for elbie!

what a sick man

that begs the question, how can you tell the males from females ? they would have to wait until they are of mature age before selling to know..

Im so sorry farewell kira

awesome news from jed, great to hear she is getting well I really look forward to seeing her return to the forums!

oo how long is it going for today?

at the woolworths I went to there were two people with guide dogs,a lady and a man. And another lady who regularly came in with guide dogs in training, was great to meet these dogs

poor troy, and poor tyler for seeing his best buddy suffer

the thing I noticed with US dog communities is they seem to have the idea that everything needs to be babied and that an animal is incapable of taking care of itself. The comments I received about leaving a dobermann home alone in a dog run during work hours was that I shouldn't get a dog if I cant spend 24 hours with it, apparently to them a dobermann cannot live without a human. However after discussing with breeders and dol members in aus, the dobermann can live as happily as any other dog who is left alone when their owners go to work. Many breeds, today and in the past were left outside and with proper preparation, training and care they can live a balanced life inside and outside. Most dogs left alone outside when their masters go to work opt to sleep most of the day and then are very energetic when they return home. The truth is, a dog who has people around 24/7 can sometimes receive less attention than a dog who is left home alone during work hours. It really boils down to how much time you will devote to the dog when you are with them. edit: From what I have seen so far with your youtube videos, you have made an excellent effort in ensuring your puppy is comfortable and safe when home alone and at the same time the ability to know if your puppy changes its behaviour when home alone.
