Hello Kurdt, I'm somewhat new here. My name is Redbelly.

What pray tell is Freija's favorite kind of fish?

May18-08, 08:13 PM
Lovely pup, quite a refreshing get away from cats, they wont fetch any thing. Our female cat Misty fetches mice. She let one loose in the kitchen when my son got hold of her while she was passing through with a mouse in her mouth. She dropped it and it ran under the counter then under the kitchen table behind some shoes and some boxes. I was moving the boxes when Misty jumped in. I suspected she had the mouse because she started growling. I pulled her out with the bottom half of the mouse hanging from her mouth. I had to ease the mouse out of her mouse, but then I dropped it, and Misty snatched it again (she's fast). I pried the mouse out of her mouth again and took it outside. It hopped away.

Dobermans do fetch, at least the one with whom I played and who belonged to a roommate in grad school. She also liked to fetch me by walking into my room and taking my forearm in her mouth. She was very playful. :biggrin:

Freija means woman apparently. I don't know what fish she likes yet redbelly but I don't think pets have been initiated with fish, just members.

Astro: Our previous Dobe would not fetch. She'd chase stuff then run off to a corner and chew it. Our newDobe Freija got her first ball and ran off into a corner to chew it. I've seen vids of Dobes doing the same thing. Then again they're not gun dogs.

Now, with a canon, it will just knock them unconscious, then we can just run like hell.

Not all myself, but she wasn't too bad anyway. I think the breeder had pretty much impressed on them to do their business on paper, so we put some down and whenever she went over just took her outside. Now she waits at the door. She did have a couple of accidents but she is still quite young.

Freija ate a mouse yesterday that Rosie had conveniently left in some bushes in the garden. By the time I realised that she wasn't just nosing around and coming out with the usual stick or bit of wood it was too late and she had swallowed it whole. She seems fine so far but I was expecting her to be sick or get a poorly tummy since Dobes are notorious for their sensitive stomachs. So here's hoping she won't be ill with it.

I doubt Rosie will be pleased that her mouse stocks have been raided either :rolleyes:

That is cool. Unfortunately one poor mouse met my cat and was then introduced to the dog and given a tour of her digestive system.

It might help Freija put on weight as she was showing ribs and hips when we got her and still is. She seems fine in herself though and is doing normal puppy things and the vet didn't seem worried. Shes been on slightly more food than normal, but perhaps shes just one of those dogs that has the natural 'supermodel look' without any effort.

This could be a sign of worms :uhh:

Well, the mouse seems to have come after the skinniness, but I was going to caution on the same, that mice are notorious for carrying worms, so if the dog is chowing down on mousey snacks, you may want the vet to check for intestinal worms more often than usual.

Do you have any additional pictures of her skinyness/cuteness :wink:

I got a puppy from a person who did not want it anymore (it was medium sheperd mix with tail cropped?!) and whilst riding home in the car it decided to regurgitate a round worm about 4 inches long onto the car floor! It was extremely disguisting to say the least and we also had to get it out of the car too. I sadly could not keep him as well because he kept chewing everything..:frown:

That sounds quite often for a regular dewormer. Are you sure it's not just for heartworm? Regular dewormers are usually given once a year or once every 6 months unless there's a sign of worm infestation. The dewormer itself can make them a bit sick (diarrhea, especially), so worming too frequently might also lead to weight loss. Sometimes worms become resistant to dewormers too (in livestock, we rotate dewormers so this doesn't happen). Best to check with your vet though, since there might be extenuating circumstances due to your location or the particular type of dewormer or some such that I'm not aware of that might be reason you're giving it every 2 weeks.

Kurdt
Jun13-08, 07:37 PM

That does sound disgusting christina. I wish people would look after them properly and not go into getting animals half heartedly or not 100% sure they want them. I'm probably being overly fussy about her. Dobes are very lean any way and the breeder says the pups do tend to look underweight until they're almost mature when they fill out a bit.

Kurdt
Jun13-08, 07:44 PM
The dewormer is for roundworm, hookworm and whipworm in particular and a couple of others in latin names :smile:. It was the same one being used by the breeder from 2 weeks. She's had her last one though since its only used until 12 weeks old. Here it is:

Ah..don't know who your speaking of.them or me but.well I really couldn't keep the dog too but I tried. They left the dog in their front yard and I assume that is were the worms came from. I gave him to a good friend and he takes good care of the dog though. (I swear my dobe mix was corrupting the young one as well=> he would teach the young puppy to give up the treats that I gave him when I wasn't looking :eek:)

My previous dog that died was very cute as a pup. He had huge feet and his body wasn't too skinny. They said that he had a disorder but he was okay without the medication.

One of my neighbors is dog-sitting a doberman puppy (6 months). What a cutie! He's really sweet, gentle, but doesn't listen one bit (that's how I met him, when he came trotting down to my yard to snack on the drippings from the bbq after he snuck out the door and wouldn't return when called...hopefully Freija is easier to train. I think the first two commands a dog needs to learn are "Come" and "Drop," everything else is extra.)

I love the latest pictures. She is just so cute looking.

Kurdt
Jun16-08, 07:36 PM
Shes got quite a few commands under her belt now, two of them being 'come' and 'give'. Of course at this age they still like to try it on a bit to establish pack rank. I think Dobes came in the top five of the most intelligent dogs if something like that makes any sense at all. Our last Dobe Emma could understand simple sentences like 'fetch your ball from upstairs' or 'put your bone on the carpet'. Hopefully we'll have similar luck with Freija.

Yep, "give" is pretty much the same as "drop" in terms of function for getting something out of their mouth they shouldn't be eating...or chewing. I don't know if the puppy who came visiting is trained when his owners are around and just isn't listening to the babysitter, or if he's just badly trained (the people puppysitting don't do a very good job of training their own dogs either, and I've complained to them before that if they haven't trained their dogs to come when called, they shouldn't be allowing them off leash yet, but I think their own dogs are finally properly trained).

I can't wait to watch when I get home.

My little dog learns words fast. Last week I bought him a stuffed duck, and we played with it a few minutes, I would say "duck" whenever I made it quack. The next day he seemed to want to play so I asked him where the duck was. He ran into the other room and returned with the duck in his mouth.

He knows "go to sleep" means to get on the bed, lie down, and don't move. That's a good one.

Her ball was only thrown once. She just runs around with it after that.

I have a Chocolate Laborador Retriever like that...well she's not much of a retriever...really more of an absconder.

The hoops one is my favorite, the way one eye matches the hoop color!

My room is messy. I was having a new radiator fitted at the time so everything wasn't where it should be.

I know of a few pups that will sleep well tonight. And the mud, how fun!

They see each other every day which is sweet. If only that was enough for such a high energy dog.

So, Kurdt, how you're not running with the dogs? :biggrin:


That looks like a great field for Frisbee.

Thanks Moonbear. Although I don't know many ladies that like plodging in mud. :tongue:

Haha, shes a big pup now. She has a heck of a tongue (in the video).

Harry looks like he needs the workouts, too. He appears to have a lot of Greyhound in him, and it's hard for any human to give such dogs an adequate workout - they really want high-speed chase/keep-away. There is a lady near here who has adopted a couple of retired track-dogs, and she walks them along the road-side in her own sedentary way. It's nice that she's given them a home, but I'd love to see them get workouts/play with Freija and Harry.

Harry is a greyhound. He was a stray that used to live on the field that they were playing on in the video for a few months until a kind resident managed to coax him into her house and hes now been adopted by her. He has improved lots because previously he'd stay away from all people and dogs and now hes very happy. Greyhounds being sprinters don't need as much eercise as you might think.

I like that video and especially the song. I'd probably stop my dog if it got near a mud puddle, especially since dogs have a habit of jumping on me.. :biggrin:

edit: I can't find this song so I'll have to just listen to it by playing your nice video

She is getting spayed this morning. I felt dead mean when we handed her over to the vet and she was desperately trying to follow us out. :frown:

I know how it feels. But she should be OK in a few days. Perhaps two weeks.

I mean the owner part - I know how it feels to leave your pet to be surgically treated at vet clinic.

Shes back home now. Looking very sorry for herself and very tired.

The great thing about dogs is that they won't hold it against you. She may be a bit nervous on her next trip to the vet, though if it only results in a check-up and a vaccination a little doggie-treat will cover that, too. Heal well, Freija - Harry needs someone to run with.

Freija's gorgeous, Kurdt. The transformation from the first pictures are remarkable. I can't fathom having as much energy as the two of them playing in the field.

Also, I entirely empathise with your feelings about leaving her with the vet. They recover quickly from that surgery. And, here's to hoping you don't have to experience that feeling often during Frieja's lifetime.

Sorry Borek, I was joking around. I should have added a ":biggrin:" or something like that.
