Hi - new here, Doberman owner!

[SizzleDog]

Hey guys - I'm new here,so I figured i'd introduce myself. I'm a former vet student turned art student - I know, I know... BIG switch, but I'm much happier now. I've got three cats and 1/2 dogs (I'll explain the 1/2 in a moment).

First the kitties: This first photo is of Spooky, my 5 year old farm rescue. I got Spooky and her sister from a farm when they were about 8 weeks old - they were both loaded with tapeworms, roundworms, coccacidia, earmites, fleas, ticks, etc. Nursed them back to health, and they're happy kitties!

This is Cleo, Spooky's sister:

This is Vaniel, the lovable senior that I rescued from the local animal shelter on his "last day":

Here's Ilsa, my two year old Doberman. She's a former show prospect turned obedience and agility dog. We've started agility just recently, and we've been doing obedience for awhile. We've done a couple fun matches, but her official obedience career will hopefully start this summer and continue on into the fall. We're also posisbly looking into pursuing Schutzhund with her... but for now, she's just my big red goofball!

And here's the "half" dog. This is Mia - she's a 5 year old retired champion. She doesn't live with me, but I'm her "godmother". ;)

Welcome to Pet Talk! I have to echo that your furkids are just beautiful! I love the picture of Vaniel, what an adorable shot! Ilsa is stunning! I think that first photo of her is one of the most beautiful dobe shots I've ever seen, with the sun just making her coat glow that beautiful copper color. Mia is gorgeous as well.

My pups you can see in my siggy, Tasha is a greyhound/shepherd mix and Tommy a golden retriever.

Happy to have you aboard!
