Hi - Caitlin clued me in to Chazhound, so I decided to register.

I'm an art student at Iowa State University, majoring in Interior Design and minoring in World Religions.

I've got a red Doberman ***** named Ilsa - she'll be three years old in February. She was originally a conformation dog, but has since been spayed and is now focusing on obedience and flyball. We're currently in training to fine-tune her for Novice obedience,and she should be ready to trial in about 6 months... or so I hope!

I'm also a groomer... although I'm a bit out of practice since school started back up!

As you can tell from my sig, I also have a black cat named Nelson. He's a young (7 months or so?) polydactyl with a HUGE tail and an attitude oto match!

Here are some photos of Ilsa:

Welcome to you, Ilsa and Nelson

Ilsa's gorgeous! My boyfriend used to breed European Dobermans; I'll have to show him Ilsa's photos. He'll have a fit.

Renee - he probably will! Ilsa's a dog that most euro breeders hate (she's a 100% American girl from show lines). Of course, she does have a lot of Franckenhorst way back. Her breeder was one of the first in the US to breed to Dexter.

I showed my Charley the photos of Ilsa; his remarks: "awwww," "that's an awesome dog," and "that's a girl nobody messes with" and "that's a well-bred dog."
