Just thought I would share two more pictures of Duke.
He is about 14 months old now, and maturing more physically now.
I have been showing him, with some success.
The only ones I should mention are:

His Puppy of Group
7th out of 50 in puppy sweepstakes
RBOB over Adult competition when he was in Puppy Class.

Other than that.. we haven't done much! But it has been fun lol
I have 8 Challenge Certificates, and just need one more now for his NZ CH (it's very easy over here lol)... So here's hoping! lol

oh.. here are the pics!


Tail up please!



Good... now stop moving your head! lol

Marian

He's so handsome!

Spencer

He's very pretty! Will he fill out or is that as big as dobies are supposed to get? (I've only ever met one before and it was a floppy puppy )

Harley_chik

He is stunning! Congrats on the wins too.

I need a guard dog...I want a dobe...they look intimidating and the trailer park people around me would NEVER mess with my property....but I love their personalities and I like the fact that they are very similar to poodles.....when a poodle is totally stripped naked, dont you think they even resemble dobies?
He is really gorgeous. Lemme ask you, did you waiver back and forth over cropped ears, or was it never an issue for you?

I am thinking that cropping ears is illegal in NZ. It is in the UK and various other places in Europe I think. I also think that docking tails is illegal in the UK, but there are some exceptions such as if your vet thinks the dog needs the tail docked for hunting purposes. I really think its just an excuse because the person wants the tail docked.

Thanks, This is as much as he will fill out height wise, but he will fill out in the body more, hopefully in the chest department lol
His breeder told me the males in her line were late developers, and this is certainly what I have seen in his father. I will upload pics. He father is now over 3 years, and has filled out Substantially, and is doing very well.

Lol! Duke is such a big softy! Yes, I find they are very similar to poodles! I have heard Poodles often described as Dobies in Drag!

Never had to waiver over cropped ears, as it isn't an option in NZ.. it's illegal, and has been for some time! I am just praying that the tail docking ban will, as his tail is like a bloody whip! He wags it so fast, that I would hate to think what it would be like if it was full length!!

Here's his father (Grandson of AM CH Cambria's Cactus Cash -Famous American Dobermann)
