He actually still has a couple puppy molars left, but otherwise the end of teething is in sightAwww, he's got all of his big boy teeth! Does he drool when he sleeps like that?Great pic!
lol. He will drool a little when sleeping like this (which he does often), but nothing too bad.Don't let him fool you, he isn't always sweet, but we do love him.
Thanks, and thanksLove that picture of him crashed out on his bed
PS- your new haircut looks great!
How is your little pup doing? I think we need pics!!
I especially love his little white spot (his zipper I call it). It's a throwback from when the breed was created, and is allowable (for showing etc, not that I'm going to show him, he's doing therapy dog and obedience work) in the breed as long as it's around 1" in diameter. He was the only puppy in his litter with the little white spot, and I think it gives him character. It was cold and snowy here today, but we had a nice run once Ryan got home from work. He has peanut butter on his nose in the first pic (I let him lick the empty jar lol).
His eyes sort of look like, "Either throw the ball, or take me home for a nap..."
Haha yeah I was making him wait for the ball, and he wasn't impressed (he is tennis ball crazy). Thanks, I love how his ears turned out, and yes he is a bit "thick" right now. He gets 2 hrs of off leash run time every day, and only a few weeks ago was on the thin side, so I'm thinking it's just a bit of puppy weight. I've cut him back a bit, and I'm sure in a few weeks he'll have another growth spurt. Damn puppies and their fluctuating weights, it's going to do my head in. I prefer him a little more on the lean side.That last picture is great! Gotta love that face.
Ears look great, really nice job. Is he carrying a little extra puppy/winter weight?
I can't wait for him and Kai to get a chance to play together
Thank you
They really are an awesome breed, so smart and loving.
We think he's pretty awesome, but we are kind of biased lol. Dobes are something else, they really are unique and it's something that just can't be explained.
There will always be a Dobe in this house. Pretty much the only thing I "dislike" about the breed is all the health problems they have, but hopefully Bruce sticks around for a long time. Sorry about your boy, dogs really do become part of the family.Looks like he needs a pillow. LOL
He usually has one...or 3. This dog loves blankets and pillows and will steal them to sleep on in his crate (which already has a nice comfy bed in it lol). He's not spoiled at all.
He is extremely courteous, he will only wrestle and play rough if the other dog starts it. He is a little submissive with other dogs, but in a respectful way. If the dog he is playing with wants to be wild, Bruce can hold his own, but he is quite happy to just play "chase" with his buddies. If he's getting a bit worked up and I tell him "enough" he'll tone it down without me needing to grab him. I've done a huge amount of obedience work with him (and continue to do so), so his manners are damn near perfect. His recall is pretty solid, so if I call him from the group and ask him to sit and wait, he will come right to me, and wait until I release him to play again. This dog is awesome, most fun dog I've ever trained because he is so smart, and eager to learn and obey.
