Well Look Who It Is- Doberdog

[Jazi]

Home visit went well. Still waiting on confirmation!

[Bethicus]

Woo!!!! So you think you'll probably get him then? What did they say? any critiques or praise or anything?

[Jazi]

They were a little concerned about my lack of yard, but I have TONS of parks nearby, and a couple with fences at that, so he should be able to buzz around offleash. My school schedule was another thing that came up, but since I've got a super flexible college schedule he won't be alone for more than 5 or so hours.

I do think I'll probably get him, but I don't want to say anything definite until I know 100% for sure :]

[Jazi]

He's all yours! Go ahead and announce it!

It's official! This boy is MINE!

Tape marks out where crate will go

Hurray, you got him!

If you decide to get a custom harness/collar I highly recommend Ella's Leads. They last a life time and I've been thinking of ordering from them. I have friends that have and absolutely ADORE their stuff. <3

[Jazi]

Actually!



I may have already been eyeing Ella's Lead stuff, and based a collar off of their designs >_> Lizard Leather is a member of my dober forum and has also been giving me quotes, and Dakonic mentioned another person who also does really good collars. So we will see, once he gets here!

Congratulations! I grew up with dobermans. They are so regal and intelligent, and such a joy.
This reminds me of how I got my pomeranian Darwin. I was basically all set to buy a pomeranian or an Irish wolfhound from 2 breeders I'm a fan of, BUT then Darwin just had to show up at the local shelter when I was signing up to volunteer.
I hope all continues to go well, and he settles in perfectly. Take lots of pics for everyone!
