Got some proffesional pictures of Athena

[SlitherinSisters]

She really is a very beautiful animal! Great pictures!

Thank you

that is one beautiful doberman! i just love their sleek look & the sharpness of their features.

I love how sleek and shiny she is too! I feed her Nature's Recipe (Lamb) which is a holistic dog food, and it keeps her skin and coat looking gorgeous! At least I assume it's the food, I really don't do anything else that would keep it so shiny, that I know of. I've met a lot of dobies that have horribly dry skin and dandruff like crazy.

Head halters aren't a good idea for a breed prone to CVI.

Also, you may want to talk to your trainer about correctly fitting that prong collar - it's far too loose, and the links are too large. (we often train with prong collars at the club I'm a member of, and we fit our students' dogs with smaller prongs, fitting snugly and high up on the neck.

When the prong links are too large and too loose, you have to use a lot more force when correcting the dog - which isn't fair to the dog and is fairly ineffectual.

Oh good point.

And about the collar being too long. I put the collar I keep in the house on her and realized it fits her better than that one. It's still the same sized prongs, but with one link less. I keep one in my car and one in the house. I didn't realize they were different lengths The one at home I use for taking her on walks and the one in my car is just to get her to the dog park gate, and walk around in the pet store, I guess I didn't pay close enough attention.

I didn't realize the prongs should be smaller for her

Does this look any better? This is the shorter one from the house. She's so funny, always standing like a dobie She's cute. Everyone we meet says she's a show off.



"Hey, what are you doing with my pool!" Once the mosquitoes show up poor Athena won't have her pool anymore. She LOVES water.

She always tilts her head one way or another. I love the head tilt!
