It was a great day to meet everyone and their puppies. We do have one big Dobereich family. All the Dobermans were on their best behaviour, especially the males ... congrats to their owners for for taking such good care of their puppies. I still can't believe Stefan, his wife and Auguste drove all the way from Quebec just to be with us. I am very proud of the friendship we have with each other and our love for the breed. Can't wait for D.O.G. 4 ... Gary, do you have any more bandana? I forgot to take one for Ronin ... hopefully Steve will come out next time to bring Ronin.

Plus I've had a sleeping Princess sprawled out on me since the moment we came home lol. Scarlet had a great time playing lots with her buddy Kazi, I've got a video of them I'll post too. As usual Jack was in love wouldn't take his nose of Scar and was forever play bowing. Thanks Chris for the muffins, Gary for his organizing, Ian photos, and Eric showing your collars!! oh and mama Monica for making it out... Fashionably late hehe.

I want to thank you all for coming out and enjoying each others company and our mutual love of our Dobermans. I want to personally thank Joanne and her mom for the great bandanna suprise. Joanne we have the extras so Reyna, Diesel, Ronin ( Eric) and Ronin Carolyne should be covered. I'll PM you Joanne re next steps w/Bandannas. Zeus was heartbroken that Reyna wasn't there. We all really missed you Joanne Eric thank you for lunch! Great suprise for those that could make it to Kelsey's after. I thank you on behalf of all that could make it. D.O.G. is shaping up nicely and becoming what I hoped for when I got the idea one 3 AM sleepless morning. It's all of you awesome owners and your beautiful dogs that are making D.O.G. a success and a dream come true for me. The best part is that each of our Dobermans are special and unique in their own way and yet the same doberman traits we all know and love ring through loud and true in each of them. A few unique traits that came to mind today watching all the dogs....Jack smiles! Kazi going KAMA Kazi, Scarlet using her charm to work the boys, Dante ever watchful of Kerrie, The family reunion of Auguste & Presto and last but not least even sans his boys...Zeus with his earlicking and "Spin and smell my butt" ;D All different pesonality traits we get to see and experience when we come together as a group. We also were great ambassadors for the breed today also in the social exposure to all the people at the park and showing how dobermans aren't the stigma many people think they are! I thank you all from my heart for coming out and participating. Spread the word to other Dobereich Owners and maybe next time we can get a bigger group I attached one group shot that Chris snapped on the walk. Left to Right Nicole & Jie w/Presto Kerrie & Dante Gary & Zeus Eric & Isys Mario & Ace Monica & Rogun Barb & Kazi Andrenia & Scarlet Dyanne & Jack Stefan & Auguste Diamond & Magnum and I forget her name Ian's friend That's 12 Dobermans and then we had Fauna the Boxer and Nelly that aren't in this picture.

Really glad that we were all able to get together today. Missed so many more though and hope that we can meet again really soon for their sakes. First off the idea for Rattlesnake Point actually came from my uncle, who reminded me that it was my parents favourite place when they were younger. So I will let him know that it was a hit. It was great scenery, although I found that just being together with everyone took a lot of my focus, and therefore I didn`t really take too much else in...lol. So I would definitely consider going again, maybe do a bit more hiking next time and cover some new ground. its a pretty big park, so there`s a lot to see. It was agonizing deciding which dog to bring from home, I wanted to bring them all. But considering the long drive that Stefan and Mireille took just to be with us today, i brought their boy`s father for the occasion. Gary you went above and beyond to ensure that things went well today. Walking the trail ahead of time, sending out the maps, etc. Chris`s homemade muffins were delicious and I think I can speak for everyone when I say it really hit the spot after the walk. Thank you both for your efforts. It was a real surprise to see Chris and I`m glad she got to come along. Ian was pretty busy snapping pics. Hopefully he`ll get some good shots to people to help spread the word and get his business off the ground. It was great seeing Ian wearing the DOG shirt, even better to see the improvement in Mags over this past year. Magnum was so loved by his past owners and I`m sure they must be smiling from above to know that Magnum has found his place with Ian and Diamond. All the males (intact or otherwise) were on their best behaviour and there were no outbursts between them. Even Dante and his bro Zeus were chillin. The pups, presto, Auguste, and Scarlet, did a pretty good job in keeping up. They obviously had a great time and should wake-up sometime tomorrow afternoon...lol. The level of socialization was apparent in the behaviour of all the dogs, who not only reflected good health, but happy attitudes as well. What a sweet delight to have a special bandanna for each Dog attending this DOG meet. Joanne, please extend my thanks to your mother. The dogs looked pretty snazzy wearing their new bandannas, and I think they knew it too! LOL. Eric, thank you so much for lunch. It was really appreciated and super to sit down with you all to catch-up awhile. I was glad that Stefan and Mireille were able to come along, but I felt bad that others were not able to come because they weren`t prepared, either time wise, or to leave their pups unattended in their cars. Perhaps next time we can plan ahead. Bring the car dividers and crates to put the pups in so that we can have a chance to sit down and relax before heading home. If it wasn`t clear before that Dobereich dogs are recognizable by similarities in their physical traits, it surely is after today. The dogs made their owners proud, but you all made me proud and happy to know that my pups are being so well cared for by so many loving and responsible people. So I want to thank everyone for their special part in making this DOG meet, and for reminding me why I do what I do.
