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.

I LOVE IT! It's ten speeds. Louie did awesome, he trust me so he was easy. He even let me grind down his callus/nail that grows out his pad. This morning I did a nail touch up, and he knew what was going on because he put his paws in my lap like "Okay mom, I'm ready"


Perhaps I should have taken a before and after picture? I think were going to get that entire nail removed. It turns into his other digit and runs it raw, then the nail grows out the bottom of his pad. It's a mess. I was cutting it out because he has no feeling in it. The scissors were small (tiny) and wasn't strong enough to cut a nail. The dremel did in just a minute of so. It didn't got hot or anything!!! But, after speaking with the forum, http://www.dobermantalk.com/ they advised we shouldn't use the stone but instead the sand attachment. I used that this morning and it worked much easier than the stone.


Scooby was a different story. I had to turn the dremel on low and pet him. Then I finally was able to get to his nails. His nails were horrible looking. I just got them dremeled by a groomer 2 weeks ago. They were all split and cracked. I was able to turn it on setting two and slowly work up. I did his front two paws in 5 minutes or so.


My dogs nails grow really fast and now that I have a good dremel I can do it MUCH more often.I got this at walmart for 50 bucks or so. It's a Dremel 300 series and I got 2 extra attachments.It's small enough my hands don't cramp, and like I said it's ten speeds.

Here are some sites that were recommended to me:
