Yep! I'm going to try out the owner-handler aspect of showing We'll see how it goes, Dobermans are pretty competitive and political. I need to make sure he's about perfect by January - going against pro handlers is going to be tough. We're working on free-stacking a lot.

I'd like to finish him myself if at all possible. I'm not in any rush.

He is wonderful! He looks all grown up, no puppy left! How do the girls like him?

Noodle and Allie are mostly indifferent. Allie will play with him, but he's in a stage where she's his humping victim, so I've been separating them. Noodle doesn't pay attention to any of the dogs.

Rocket and Ruby are hilarious - they wrestle constantly. The problems arise when Ruby tries to control his reactions, then they get into a pissing match - literally. They settle pretty quickly though.

It's been interesting. He keeps me and Ruby on our toes, but he's a good listener.
