the importance of a strong loin

[Elaine]

I had Titan out with Sandro D this morning... chasing the early morning light and that elusive "Money Shot" (which, yet again I did NOT get). I took over 700 photos of Titan with Sandro D and Lord Baltimore. Titan had been out playing for about an hour before I even got the camera, I just asked him to go out in the pasture with each of the boys, to get them fired up a bit so I could get movement shots of them. Titan in the background was merely a coincidence, but I couldn’t help but notice how form follows function. Titan is a beautifully built, balanced dog, with a strong flexible loin, which gives him the speed and endurance the Doberman Breed Standard calls for. He can run around the pasture with the boys for an hour, and still run circles around them because of the way he is put together, and one of his greatest attributes is his ability to lift and carry his front, which is possible because of his correct coupling and strong flexible loin, which you can see in the following photos.

Titan is way better than any old hot walker, eh? :D

Both animals have wonderful movement IMHO.

actually, she'll need a horse, a barn, a trainer, an equine vet, a farrier, ... some pasture, grain, hay and a 1001 supplements... and tack and more "stuff" then you can possibly imagine. And even then, it has to be a horse that likes Dobermans, and not all do. Much simpler to get her a battery operated radio controlled "anything." :)

Ahh yes. But did you consider the amount of energy required to satisfy a Doberman? Even if I use rechargeable batteries, I will need a power plant to keep up with her!!!!:D:D:D
