We rolled up the hill and met this new little girl dog.
Rocky is feeling it a little, lol. Trying to keep up with this new young bitch.

She’s a one year old Blue Doberman.
A petite lil thing.
She’s let Rocky know a couple of times now, while she is smallish, she is still a Doberman. :)

This one is a spitfire, lol.
Going to look into agility and or dock diving.
She has a really strong nose. Barn hunt might be fun too.

When we met her we walked her around a while to see who she was.
Her nose, lol.
Following along a fence line so focused on scent she didn’t realize she was walking past a horse until it stepped back a stem.
She was mesmerized by the horses.
Cautious but not at all afraid. Tried to get her nose as close as she could.
She’s very confident.
Almost too confident, lol.

Seems like there's a lot of Doberman owners on RDP. Do you like the natural ear Dobermans or ones with cropped ears?

My wife's have cropped and mine have natural.

Congratulations!

If you get into Agility, let me know. My wife runs a few of our Siberians. They've done very well (9 titles in 2 dogs).

I’m not real picky there. As you know the ears don’t define their spirit.
Rocky and Millie are both adopted dogs. Didn’t really have a choice.

If we go the puppy route again I would probably do the full crop/dock.
Can’t deny a certain regal, almost more elegant look.
Our first was a red female, no cropped ears.
No one ever mistakes any of them with something other than a Doberman. Although, lol.
I could probably pass Rocky off as a Black and Tan Coon hound as large as his ears are, lol.

He’s been really tolerant.

I had to work today so they were at home with the 19 year old.
I’m told they lounged all day and saved their mosh session for when I got home.

Looking forward to meeting her. So is Tonka. They can wear each other out and let the old dogs supervise.

Nothing wrong with a runt..
Id consider yourself lucky.
I do!
She’s light as a feather.
She’s not sure about the height thing jumping into the truck. On the plus side she’s great in the car/truck.
No traveling issues.
She and Tonka will have a blast. Their both about the same age.

Rocky’s old ass is a little sore. Not as sore as Oakley the lab made him, lol, but only because these two aren’t covering the big area like they did at Glamis.
She’s fast, man. Lol.
Tonka will win the wrestling match. If she can catch Millie:D

I walked 2 dogs down the street today, by my self. Right past @sintax house. Has only been 2 person/2 dog walks up to this point.
Was the first time in a little over 3 years walking 2-1.
Was a great day.
They are getting along very well.

The old guy has told her off a couple times. Pointed out a couple of bad habits she has. He did so in the eloquent way that Dobermans can;)

She’s proven to be all about security. And food:D
My neighbors probably love us.
Then again, some of those neighbors need to keep their F’ng cats in their yard at 04:30 lol.
