Curious to know how many of you in here own Dobes.  I have 2, Ace 5 yr.old purebred, uncropped and docked, got him when he was 9 weeks old, my very very special boy and I have Sasha 1yr.old (next thursday) and she is Dobe/ Lab cross.  I adopted her 7 weeks ago from a young girl who could not care for her properly., she is my baby girl.

Hi, Jaime
I am Stella, and I am currently owned by a nine year old dobie bitch named Raven. She is the fourth dobie that I have had in the last 20 years, and the only female. I also have a male dane and a dane/wolfhound mix.

HI! I am a "dobe owner",or i should say our Dobes own us!  :)  Currently we have 2: 1) Eclipse our blk/rust Conformation Show Girl 2) Enzo our blk/rust Working Line Dober Boy,who we recently acquired. Dobes have been in my life for 29 yrs.now and could not live without them by my side.Unfortuna tly we have lost many over the yrs.,no thanks to the 2 BIG "C'S".........Cardi o & Cancer........ devastating to say the least.With our latest boy "Enzo" he is strictly 'working lines',both sides w/ SCHZ III and many other working titles.His Sire is a well known "Bleiztzkrieger" from all working lines,as is his Dam from "Kaluaha" Kennel's working lines.We are hoping great things from our boy,he will be 1 yr. old this month! Eclipse is our super sweet girl who is out of Conformation/Obeidence Lines here in Ohio.Anxious to talk w/ all here and fellow Dobe Owner's alike! Gail & FurKids  ;D

I agree. Even tho I have the dane and dane/wolfhound  mix as well as Raven, I will always have a dobie in the house.

I also will ALWAYS own a Dobie, mine stole my heart, they are a terrific breed.  Jenn, I hope you are active, Dobies require oodles of exercise, you probably already know that but anyway have fun with your pup.

Gail,
I knew a Swank who bred Dobies in central Ohio 30+ years ago. You wouldn't be any relation would you?

I have 2 dobes--Darmok who just turned 3 last month, ansd Sasha who just turned 2 last month. I've had Dar since she was a tiny little 7 1/2 week old baby, and Sasha came to me from a relative who no longer could take care of her (or himself, but that's another story!) Dar has been to several obedience classes, an agility class, and has her CGC.  She is totally the smartest dog I have ever owned.  Sasha has some 'issues' and we are making slow progress, but positive progress, anyway! I have had at least one dobie in my life for the past 25 years, and intend to ALWAYS have a dobe!

This is our 5 month old puppy Astro taking on a 130 lb bull dog at the park this past weekend. 

(http://www.on8.org/image/january-2006/astro profile.jpg)

This is one of the few moments at the park when he's actually sitting still. 

We adopted him from the Broward County Humane Society here in Florida this past Nov.  Since then its been nothing but good times, he's the most affectionate dog I've had since the Collie I grew up with. 

I don't know if he's mixed with anything, the folks at the humane society seemed to be of the impression that he's mostly dobie if not pure.  Not that it matters but I'd be curious to find out what he's mixed with, if he is. 

Also, while I'm in this thread.  Does anyone have a growth chart?  (IE something that tells me at X months he should be around Y lbs?) 

Thanks,

Andy
