Here are a few a little later:



And here is the Dad, Drayko.



Here he is playing with our Chihuahua:

Just wanted to say again how hansome I think Drayko is. It may just be this picture, but I see a lot of the earlier Dobermann in his head and snout. This will be another very nice litter of pups.

[horseatingweeds]

We chose his lines because they have the "real" Doberman build. He has a lot of German in his background and so does Jewel. They both have the compact sturdy muzzle and body, instead of the long Greyhound build.

The temperament is the great thing about them though.

This will be Jewel and probably Drayko's last litter. We might be keeping a puppy.

Just wanted to say that Drayko is very handsome and regal in his head shot.  I love the picture with the Chihuahua and Jewel looks like a very good mom.  Makes me want another puppy... While Soleil was a puppy I kept on wishing she would grow up faster now I wish I could go back... go fig..

Ahwww, are these pics of your November litter?Ready to go by Christmas?   

[horseatingweeds]

Yeah, by New Year anyway.  Those pictures are actually a week old. I need to put up some newer ones. They're up and running around now.

How adorable! Since I found this website I had always hoped I could get a pup from you. Just wish my situation was better to get a puppy right now ... oh, well. Again, very beautiful animals- all of them.

[BigMomma_ah!]

OMG!  Just look at those sweet little babies!  Makes me want to kiss their faces off hehehe.

Good looking puppies, and Jewel looks like a great mom. Of course that also showed in the pictures of her previous litter. In one shot we can even see Dad taking his turn watching the kids.

I am fortunate to have one of these puppies now. I left S. Georgia and drove up, spending the night in Florence, Ky, to pick up Princess, one of the red girls. On Sunday, Jan 18,  after a short drive, I picked her up, and on Monday drove back to Georgia. She traveled well, and behaved beautifully, except she didn't seem to thing too much of the snow. I even got to meet Drako who accidently gave me a fat lip. I bent down
over him to pick up one of the girls, and he raised up his head. He hits as hard as my Red does at times.

She is a smart young girl, and is doing well. In two weeks only one piddling accident in the house, and that was really my fault, for when I woke her up and let her out of the crate, I did something else rather than take her straight outside. She is starting off better than any of my previous Dobes and is just precious. Thank you horseatingweeds.

Thank you rgreen. I wish all our puppies went to Doberman owners like you.

Letting puppies go is the worst part about breeding. You never really know who is taking them home. But when you do place them in great homes, it makes all the poop, mommy-watching, sleepless nights, ear shattering puppy songs, destroyed belongings, and totally destroyed housekeeping schedule worth it.
