I was back in Oakland yesterday. There’s another boy there. The gals over there are doing a great job of moving the Dobermans to safety. This one’s gorgeous and sweet and pretty sick but we’ll probably work something out anyway. I really wish people understood that you can’t breed a Doberman without extensive health testing. This poor boy’s problems could have been avoided with some simple health testing of the parent. Probably both on site. Probably some jackass thinking he could make some money breeding dogs. And this poor animal will suffer because of it. He’s got that bad of an issue. If you haven’t finished your dog in Confirmation, Obedience or have a working title on them, don’t even think about breeding it. Period. If you have then go get some health testing, don’t cherry pick the results and then and only then you can think about breeding it. It ain’t your right to go out there an overpopulate the world with poorly bred animals that end up in shelters being euthanized. That isn’t a right and if you think it is, you’re an asshole. It’s our responsibility as guardians to this earth to do the right thing and that ain’t it.
