Hi Robin, I don't have a dobie yet but I when I still had a female rottie and every time it came to clipping her nails, she would run and try to avoid me every...
I never had to do my dog's nails. Walk him enough on concrete takes care of it. Robin Rubin <theearlofgrey@...> wrote: You would not believe the fight...
Less than a month ago I became the proud owner of a 10-month old rescue Dobe, ATOLL. He was neutered a couple of weeks ago, and is progressing nicely in his...
Thanks Avrama. I've never used one, and I will have to try it with him. Some liver snacks went a long way towards handling his paws later on in the evening,...
That's what my breeder suggested to. A little hand held sander/grinder. My Alex still hated having anything done to him, but that did help. Kim ... far less...
Unfortunately, 'tain't so. If the dog has a good, tight foot to begin with, he will walk on the pads of his feet, without the nails touching the concrete. The...
OK, goofy to you is beautiful to me :). I have two natural eared Dobes, one a rescue and one very well bred. I LOVE their ears, no matter how they wear them...
Robin, It might be easier to help your pup through the nail cutting by offering him some really good treats as you trim his nails. I have even smeared peanut...

Janine; Thanks for the info. A little different from the method I was using. Will give it a try. Roger W. ... From: Janine <wizgirl22@...> Date: Tue, 1...
I think that there is too much prejudice concerning Dobe's, I also think is the responsibility of those of us that love the breed to change this. We have our...
I was asked a question about why people crop dobermans ears and all i could come up with was that it is a personal preferance LOL what do you all think about...

More to the point would be to ask, not why do PEOPLE in general crop ears but why do YOU have your DObe's ears cropped. As I said, there has been much...
I ought have written "Dobes" rather than "dogs," but for me dog has always been spelled d-o-b-e-r-m-a-n. (INcidentally, given where I live [the heart of...
