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.

Passed the CGC test 11.21.09



I wasn't going to take him since he hasn't been feeling well. But after he pooped (If your lost, look at our previous thread) he was ready to go and was back to hiself. We went for a hike for an hour and half or so, and he was doing well the entire hike, so I thought we'd atleast try for the CGC. I didn't think he'd pass since he hadn't been feeling good, even though he is now, and I was forsure thinking he was going to pass the distraction test (because it's a noise distraction) and wimper and totally melt down when I left the room.

HE DID GREAT, so good, they used him for the other dog's test. The noise distraction was a suprise. The evaluator threw several ice trays (no ice) behind him and infront of him and he stayed in a sit and just looked at them, didn't cowar (sp?) or anything. Leaving him was suprising. I'll say he cried during the enture 9 steps previous to this, he is the BIGGEST talker. He talks in the car, when were hiking, walking, in the house. Well when I left out the room, yes he whined a little bit at first but wasn't his abnormal self.

I'm so suprised and proud of him :)

He is now Louie CGC
I still need a ILP name.....
