Louie Doberman

welcome

I got Louie the end of October, 2008, from a breeder who wanted money by producing puppies, he was three months old born 07/26/08. He has variable problems with his health and temperament. He was diagnosed with Hip Dysplasia in August of 2009. He also is started going bald around May of 2009, he has had numerous test done including thyroid testing and several skin scrapes and still nothing has been found. That’s okay though because he is a good, loyal, smart, and affectionate Doberman, who is overcoming his genetic faults daily. Our mission is to show people that Dobermans are friendly dogs; they are sweet caring creatures who just want to be loved on. We also try to educate people where to get their dogs, not from backyard breeders but from reputable breeders who temperament tests the parents as well health testing parents before breeding. Doing this will not completely eliminate all issues with the puppies but can help foresee problems that may occur. Louie has shown that he is an ambassador of the breed that has helped change people’s perceptions about the Doberman breed.

Arbor Hills w/ backpack 11.22.09



So, Louie and I went to the nature preserve again. I decided to test out his new Ruffwear Aproach backpack I got on Thursday before he got sick. He loves it,  I love it. It is waterproof, which is awesome.  Since he isn't quite old enough to put any real weight in there I just put two little waters which didn't even amount to one regular bottle water, poop bags, and my keys and cell phone (which I put into a plastic zip lock back just in case it wasn't really waterproof.) First thing he did was jump in the water, go figure, my awesome water doberman. As soon as he got out of the water I checked to see anything was wet, nope everything is still dry!! woo hoo! So we walked for a good hour and twenty minutes, mostly on pavement because it recently rained and the unpaved trails were muddy.

Several couples asked why he was wearing it? I simply told them, I was trying to build up muscle on his legs but he wasn't old enough for weight so it's pretty much empty right now, but come January 28th he'll get more duties. :)
