Early winter weather temperature swings are precipitating coat clean up. I really don't care for coat blowing. But the mutts are family, and you have to love family even if there are idiosyncrasies that you don't like. Mike A. "I wouldn't touch that dog, son. He don't take to pettin."

Still a very little bit in his lions mane but he's ready for winter. High 50s last week and in the teens this week. go figure! Built a new dog house reciently because he was having trouble climbing the three stairs when they were icy last year. Steps lead into the garage where his dog house was built into the walls. New house is double walled and insulation in the walls as the old one but now free standing and under the patio cover. old dogs LOVE to learn new tricks

My female left quite a handful of hair I had to clean out of the tub afterwards. She has always had the thickest coat of any Doberman I've ever known. The male only left about 1/10 as much as her. I can't complain, though. It's funny how many non-dog people are under the impression that short-coated dogs don't shed. Mine sure do, but it's not a double coat, and the short hairs that come out don't tend to clump together and float around the house. I feel for those of you with long- or double-coated dogs! But, yes, we do what we must because we love them.
