New Member of the Family!!! (DUW!!!!)

[JLC]

Awwwww cuteness overload

Congrats Judy! Shes soo adorable!

Thanks!!

Congrats, Judy!! She's a beautiful girl! If your kids don't like the name "Angel", how about a name that means Angel? I popped it into babynames.com (I like it because you can search by meaning of names) and came up with the following for girl names with the meaning "Angel":

I'm excited to find out what that lovely girl's name is going to be!

Thanks, Kim! I'll check into babynames.com and see if anything else jumps out. I really like the thoughts behind "Destiny" and "Faith" too. But, like Angel, the English versions of those words fell like a stone at my daughter's feet. Not that her opinion is the final say...but I'd at least like something that's not going to make a close family member cringe whenever they hear it. LOL

congrats judy!!! she's gorgeous

I vote for: "Amber"

Thanks Aleesha! "Amber" is cute, too!

OHHHhhhh so cute! Dobies are gorgeous. I am glad your family has a little one now.

Awww! Thanks!!

Cute little puppy

Thanks!!

Oh Judy I'm so happy for you. She's a very adorable puppy, and makes me want one too. I can almost smell that puppy breath.

I think Destiny would be a good name as well, since it was obvious fated for you to have her. Of course Faith would work too.

Thanks Christie! She does have really cute puppy breath right now! I'll be looking for translations of Destiny and Faith to see if I find a good fit!

Gorgeous pup Judy! Congrats to you and your family, I'm sure you'll all have loads of fun working with her!

She's gonna look great with her new ears!

Thanks, Jason! I've already started working with her on "sit" (and of course potty training and to not bite! LOL) and can't wait to get her into a puppy-kindergarten class!

She is beautiful! Dobbies are such great dogs.

Indeed!

Oh Judy she is so adorable

Dobbies are one of my faves when it comes to dog breeds, what a cutie!! Azure has some fantastic name suggestions there, an Angel name seems fitting. There's also listings of the names of specific angels too!

Very interesting list. I wonder who named 'em all?? Thanks, Sheree!!

Awesome Judy!!!! Let the dobe chatting begin... I should have my little girl this weekend. I will put pictures up all over the place for you. Im super excited for you Judy.

I can't wait to compare notes and swap stories about puppy antics!

[JLC]

Sweeet! My fav dobs are the red ones. She is a great example of the breed. Make a vet visit soon! And enjoy the "puppie" in her as well as her breath! cause it doesnt stay forever, but it does get better as age goes on! PS.....get her some tenis balls! Are you going to breed her? Or get her into any sports?

Already had her vet visit yesterday. He said she looks to be at a perfect weight and perfectly healthy. Fecal tests all came back negative. She charmed the entire staff!

And no...absolutely no plans to breed her. She'll be spayed as soon as it's healthy to do so. As for sports...it's kind of hard to imagine right now because she's such a feisty little baby...but I would really like to see what Obedience competitions are like...and perhaps give a go at Agility as well.

Oh my god Judy she's ADORABLE!!!!! Reds are beautiful. Wow wow wow I wish I could have her follow me home! Congrats!

Thank you thank you thank you!!

That is one cute dog!!

Congrats! your kiddos must be super excited.

Thanks, Nate! Yeah...the kids really love her!!

Congrats!! I love the reds!! Gorgeous puppy!!

Thank you!

Oh Judy she's sooooo cute! I bet you and the kids are in puppy heaven right now just lovin her all up. Is there anything cuter than puppy kisses!

I love Sienna, what a nice regal sort of name for her when she's the grown up beauty that adult Dobies are. I also love Faith, as it fits so well with how she came to you. That's a lovely name too.

Thanks, Joanna! I really do want to make sure that her name will be just as fitting for a well-mannered regal adult as it is for this feisty, goofy puppy! After all, they're only puppies for *SNAP* that long!

She is precious! Reds and traditional blacks are my favorites. She looks like a doll and sounds like you made an excellent decision on who to get her from. Working parents are a great sign of her quality and temperament. Have tons of fun with her (like you needed to be told that!)

Hehehe...thanks!!

Aww.. she's so sweet, Judy. I had a feeling this was what you were sneaking around about.

Dobies are such fantastic dogs.. and I love the red ones.

One of my hopes for her is that she'll be an ambassador for her breed and help teach people that the reputation they gained in the 70's as viscious dogs is just as outdated and ridiculous as the clothes they wore back then.

[LadyOhh]

Absolutely gorgeous!!

Dobies are my next dog for sure once my Regal passes.

I LOVE HER

[Shelby]

Yeah.. my friend has a dobie.. he is the SWEETEST, and funniest, most well behaved dog I have ever met. Everyone who knows him just falls in love.. and I love his name: Renegade.

[Entropy]

So Judy, it's been what a whole day? How's she doing?

Thanks, Heather!!

Renegade....great name for a Dobe!

So Judy, it's been what a whole day? How's she doing?

She's doing really well. Keeping us all on our toes, for sure. But she's super-sweet and seems to be trying really hard to figure out what it is we want from her. Must be really confusing to go from rough-housing with her litter mates to wanting to play with little people who don't understand the joy of mouthing and play-bites. LOL

She's got the sweetest little natural "sit" that I've ever seen in a puppy. It may actually be tricky teaching her to sit on command because whenever she wants something, she automatically sits very pretty and looks up at you with those big soulful eyes.

Anyhow....I've only got a minute today...super-crazy busy. But I wanted to peek in and let y'all know she finally has a name!

Her name is Miracle, and Mira for short. Still have to come up with her fancy registration name, but that doesn't feel as urgent as getting her a "real" name. The first time I called her Mira, her ears perked up and her eyes got bright as if she really liked it.

Gotta dash....too much to do with too little time! Will catch up wtih everyone as soon as I can! I hate being too busy to visit with my good folks here!!

[catawhat75]

Oh my Judy, she is BEAUTIFUL! I love Dobes, the are the best breed out there in my opinion (hey I said my opinion, lol). I am glad things fell into place for you like that, yup she was meant to be.
Just out of curiosity, why are you having her ears done?

[Ginevive]

Awe! My favorite dog breed. She will definately mature into a gorgeous animal.

[MedusasOwl]

Awwh, Miracle is such a lovely name! It suits!

[stangs13]

Agility and Obediance are great! I love agility, ad if it wasn't for the time right know, I would do it! Congrats again judy! And glad the vet results came back negative.
