I haven't seen Mira without her stays! Very pretty! Update on Ganon:For those who don't already know, Ganon is awesome. I had some trouble with keeping his ears upright, however I received a lot of help from the Dobereich Family and some great overall tips from Lana and Diesel who I had the pleasure of meeting over this past weekend. As a new Doberman owner, I was very paranoid about keeping our new family member healthy. Monica was there to help ease my mind Ganon has had only 1 pee accident in the past month and he is now able to roam around with supervision for hours at a time without me having to worry so much about him tearing up the furniture or carpet (thank god). He no longer jumps on people or tables, however has a habit of stealing my sister-in-law's Pomeranian's rawhide. He has started obedience training and is learning manners and walking on a lead. I do have him on a slip chain (despite his young age), however after a few days of using it to walk, I don't think he'll need it much longer. Maybe a Martingale will do. His recall is improving greatly and has learned some nice basic training through me and my wife. We will start show training soon to prepare him for possible competition in the future with Monica. He has a bunch of adult teeth in the front now. After seeing Diesel the other day, the family and I are getting very excited to see how Ganon will turn out. Brought him to the vet and a lot of the clients were impressed with how great he looked. Anyways, enough talk.. a photo is attached. Some of you may have seen it already, but it shows Ganon's progression from 14 (top left), 15(top right), 16(bottom left), and 17 weeks (bottom right) of age. Attachments:

Such beautiful faces on both these puppies . . . Ganon has THE longest ears. . . no wonder you had some problems getting them to stand up (lol).The rest of him just has to grow into them. Love the picture with him balancing the treat on his paw waiting for you to give him the OK, Jordan. Mira looks so funny lying on top of her big brother. He really is a kind, tolerant dog. Might have to get a deeper couch as she grows up Stephanie. They just won't both fit together on it anymore. PS. Love the shirt Jordan

Haha! I know that shirt Jordan!!! I wanted it but they only have it for men's boo! There's another Dobie shirt from Rook clothing brand but sadly my size is all out. Most of the Dobe shirts out there are for men....You are training Ganon right...trust me things will get better and they are smart

It's been a while since I posted, so...here is it. Monroe has been challenging these last couple of weeks, doing things that he had stopped doing like eating shoes and doing his business inside, etc. He also has decided that he only wants to play with dogs that don't want to play with him but if a dog approaches to play he panics and hides behind me lol Trainer is coming in for his first class on Friday so we're excited to see how things would change. It's really weird that no matter how much he grows, every time we look at him he's just our little baby from the day we picked him up at Monica's. He just completed his vaccines last week and he is 29.5 lbs which the vert says is normal because for his height he is not skinny but not fat. It really is crazy how much they grow and how quickly it happens!!! I attached a photo of our little man posing - He still freaks out when I say "Who's my little baby?!" even though he really isn't that little anymore haha Attachments:

Nice pictures of the dogs, and yes you will always looks at your dog now, 6 months from now, 2 years from now as your baby. Kazi turned 3 this past Sunday, and I am still calling my 88lb girl "Mama's baby girl". That's what she is to me...my baby. Good luck with the trainer...and please if you have any questions let either Monica or us help you ....your Dobereich family is here to help.

Mira is beautiful!!! It freaks me out how her faces remind me so much of the faces that Monroe pulls haha Monroe had his first lesson yesterday and the trainer basically told us that we had a little drama king which Monica pointed out when we went to pick him up lol. So today was time to start the major corrections like jumping on guests and barking in his crate and so far so good Tomorrow will be 7 days that Monroe has not had his ears taped and we are gonna tape them again only because his left ear just won't stay up lol

Mira and Monroe do look a lot alike! We tape her ears for about 4 days and off for 1 1/2. Probably will have to do that until all her adult teeth come in and as she is a female perhaps even until after she has her first estrus cycle.
My only real complaint is potty training. She knows to go out but STILL has "accidents" in the house. I do remember my first dobe (female) taking a while to fully be potty trained. Please post more pics of Monroe! I assume you are not a Facebook junkie like me lol
