Hello

[janetoppedal]

I am a new member, and I would like to introduce myself.
My name is Janet, I have three wonderful dobermans, a blue male Levi, a black female Saphira (Sa-fear-a) and a fawn female Nic.. the fawn is special needs, not because she is a dilute but because of an illness she got at 7 months of age.
The reason why we have Dobermans is well, 30 years ago I got a little Dobie, I was 14, I sold a horse to get a puppy. She Pippi, (AKC Jans Little Lizzy Ann)was the best dog we ever owned, I never showed her, she was just a great dog. After she passed, I could not think about getting another dobe, but I had to have a dog, so I got Tangie, a Basinji, shepard mix, and three years later I got Toe Jam the scruffawawa.
As children do, I have five, Derek 29, Robert 26, Kayla 21, Heather 20, and Ashley 19. grew up, married, joined the service, moved to another state, my dogs grew old, and well, we all know what happens to them:(.. and before I knew it, I was living in a huge house with no children, no dog, only a cat.OOOmpie and he adopted me.
On the first Saturday of July 2005, my husband and I were reading the paper, I was scanning the cladssifieds, I saw an add for a blue Doberman, pup. I asked my husband what he thought he said lets go look, so I called, we went to look and it was all over, we paid for our little 9 week old cone head, scooby doo nosed, blue boy, the breeder told us several things about the dilutes. she also told us if we wanted to show him we could he would do well in the ring, at that time we just said no we would just have a pet..
When Levi was, about 12 weeks old we went to the feed store, to get horse feed, a guy told me I should take him across to the groomer and have her drimmel his toes, while they loaded my truck it was only $5.00 and it would be a good experience for my puppy, so I took him across the parking lot had his toes done and the groomer told me I should really show him and gave me a telephone number to the NCDPC president, and have him evaluate my pup.
Well the rest is history, we are now chasing Majors for Levi.
Saphira was in her first show three weeks a ago, she got best in Sweeps and winners bitch. So I am hoping to pick up a few points on her soon as well.
Thank you for reading, about me if you want more information just let me know.. I love to gab about my dogs.. OH!! by the way, yes they sleep in the bed, and they are under feet all the time..

Hello Janet!!!

I post things on here for a laugh. Often I am only person laughing at my posts. So pay no attention to me.:D

I have two Dobermans and one Toy Fox Terrier. Joy is our 10 year old Doberman. She is very intelligent but not very fun to look at. Eva is 11 months old today. She will continue to be shown if I remember to enter her in shows!:D Tabitha is our Akc Ch. TFT. She rules the house while weighing only 6 pounds. We also have an eleven month old human daughter, Amelia. She loves puppies.

we live in language Andy... the dialogue we have with ourselves and others, the words we chose, are the only things we have complete control over in life ... you can be the endearing younger brother... :)

Sanjay,

When you have time, we'd love to see photos of your two girls (puppies) :)


And, btw, for anyone going to the National... or anyone who knows where to get those braided nylon leads and chokes that Kelly uses, that are either brown, black or the brown and black braid, could you contact Sanjay... not sure what sizes he needs, but he needs a selection, and we are not going to the National this year and that is the only place I've seem them.

[Elaine]

I do not know how to attach pictures, I tried but I do not know if it worked..
Janet If you email me the photos I will post them for you... better yet, ask Andy to show you how to use Photo bucket... and then explain it to me. But you'd have to translate the explanation into old fart language or I will not understand it. :D Or, ask Brenna, she seems to know how to post photos that appear in the main text field of the post.... I only know how to do attachments. Oye Vey!

[dobesign]

NO NO NO ANDY!!!!!! It's MYYYYYYY Turn!!! MOM!!!!!!! I'm tellin'!!!!:p

[janetoppedal]

Hi, I have been trying to add pictures, but I am computer, how should I say it..challenged? when it comes to the computer I am defenatly special needs.. any way you put it, I am not good with the computer.
so if some one could tell me how to attach pictures I would love to send some in.

[andyhilt27]

NO NO NO ANDY!!!!!! It's MYYYYYYY Turn!!! MOM!!!!!!! I'm tellin'!!!!:p

I think we are scaring or even perhaps scarring Janet. :D Elaine might put us in time out......:eek:

Elaine I will call you this evening to try to explain how to use photobucket. So please create an account in the next few hours.

[Sheila]

I know you'll enjoy this group and I enjoyed hearing about your background in dogs and your family.

I am owned by Can Ch Fabert's Casino Royal von Ausleben aka Raker, his daughter Can Ch. Ausleben's Red Hot Player aka Player and Can. Ch. and with 7 points including a major, Logres' Weihaiwej aka Vee Vee who is about to resume showing with Kelly.

One easy way to post photos is to click on the paperclip icon and upload what you have. :) or you can open a photo bucket account.

i believe the website is caliscollars.com

[Elaine]

Thanks for the link...:) and Sanjay may find it useful... but the leads and collars I'm thinking of were a bit more expensive... they are braided and round. I didn't see them on the site you linked... but maybe I was looking in the wrong place. :confused:

You can do one of two things:
First:
when you click reply, you will see a paper clip. click that. when it says "browse" click that then look for the place where the picture you want to share lives. click on the picture, then click upload. Et viola!

OR
Second, find the pic you want to post. Right click your mouse (unless you have a mac, then I think it's something like control c for copy). Then you do the normal old reply make your title, go down to where you type the body of your text, and right click again. The little bar will offer "paste". click paste and your pic will appear in the body of the text. That's a bit slow for multiple pics, but it works. You just minimize your reply, and do it again, or go up to the paper clip, browse for the photo, and instead of uploading it after selecting it, you can right click from there to copy and paste then just close the box when you're done.:D Now, how about them pics????:p

I did not see them this time on the site, but she is the one that makes them, I have 3. I got my first one at the Fitchburg National 6 years ago and really love them.

[Elaine]

Thanks... I'd bet that if Sanjay contacted this website, they would be able to help him directly. :) I think that (within a range) the choice of a lead and collar is a personal thing, and can depend on the specific dog. Some do better on a chain, some on nylon... it varies.

[janetoppedal]

[janetoppedal]

Every time I try to down load a picture, I get bumped out of the site.. If some one would send me an E-mail, I can send Pictures to themand they can post for me.
Thank you
Janet
