The Official Intro Thread! *Update w/ pics*

[Giselle]

As most of you know, I've always been in love with Dobermans and tried once to adopt a female at the local shelter. However, that didn't work out. But I guess it was for the best because then I found...


Ivy!

Ivy is a 4.5 month old Doberman/Lab mix. She's the product of an Oops! litter. I originally didn't want her because I wasn't sure if her "breeder" was a BYB or not. Then, I started corresponding with her breeder, and I found out that the litter was completely accidental and that Mom is now spayed.

She's all natural (ears and tail), super loving, and I'm just smitten :) BTW, her name comes from Ivy League, as in Cornell University (my dream school, LOL). Okay, enough of my rambling. Here are some blurry pictures of little Ivy:

Giselle's not too impressed ;) Lucky doesn't even want to look at her, but they'll get over it soon.

She is so cute! I love her name.

[GiantSchnauzer]

Aww congrats. She's a beautiful girl.

[Giselle]

Gahhh! I'm sorry guys; my router died and it took Comcast two days to come up here and figure out the problem. Anyhow, THANK YOU everybody!!

Lucky and Giselle are actually adjusting to Ivy pretty well. There were a couple of snarls here and there but it was pretty good otherwise. So far, there have been no accidents, and Ivy has learned how to say please by sitting :D I'm sooooooo excited to get started on her training. With her genes, I'm sure we could do any sport if we tried :D Without further ado, here are some more pictures!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v474/LSophie/The%20Dogs/IMG_1074.jpg

As you can see, Lucky and Giselle were still wary of her for awhile:

But that all changed soon enough
