I've decided to discontinue the blog due to lack of viewer interest/participation. It's discouraging to me to wake up and see no comments added to my posts. I realize this is within myself... not each of you. We all have different means and avenues of communicating. I prefer an open line. But... I have to do what feels right for me. The posts I provide are time consuming and thoughtful. But honestly I'd rather spend the time with my own dogs and the pups. I will continue to post weekly updates to the individual pup pages so you can see the pups progression in the upcoming weeks. My only hope is I have chosen right for them. They mean the world to me! A couple of you, I have history with, and no concerns. And one... has been so forthcoming with many comment and interest. Sorry if you were expecting more... but honestly, so was I.

Hi Debi. I have been following along on the new pups' progress. I so enjoy watching them grow. It's amazing how fast they change. When we were waiting for Titan to come home, I promise you I read every single word you posted on our litter! I know how much you put into your blogs and raising your pups. I just want to say thank you again for your hard work. I truly, truly appreciated it. Don't tell Glenn, but I wouldn't mind being a repeat customer in a couple years. Titan might need a little sister. 😉 Titan is doing fantastic, by the way. Graduates intermediate obedience next week. Started some scent work training and after 2 classes he's excelling. My little...err, big, Dobe-Bloodhound. Super smart boy and we just love him to pieces. 😊

Great job working with your boy Melanie!!! Best way to keep them out of mischief. And yes, the only thing better than a Doberman is a matched set... I've got a few here who will concur. :-) You can tell Glenn.. lol

Hi Debi. So sorry I am not a part of this group but I love reading about the pups. As I said to you before you have a God given talent how you see these pups and your stories are fun to read. I tune in every night before bed to read your posts. I will miss my bed time stories. Thank You for all you do. 💕😰

Deb, your blog is fantastic!! Shelley and I look forward to reading it everyday, I look at it two to three times a day. I hope you reconsider stopping... you have raised the bar for how breeders stay connected with their customers. Maybe a page counter to see how many times its been viewed would be good ? Anyway, thanks for all the updates .

There actually is a page counter... but there's no way I can tell who's actually viewing

Good morning Debi and everyone waiting for a puppy. We are on this list as well and have an amazing puppy from Debs May 2018 litter. I posted more on the site last time then on this one. I know Debi and she puts her heart and soul into each and every pup she raises, by doing that it makes their transition into our homes much easier for them and us. Interacting here is very important, I know we all show up to view the puppies but let’s all give Deb more consideration for her time and hard work on her blogs. I love Deb for all she gives and you will understand once you take your pup home. Thank you Deb I will put more time into letting you know i’m here.

I’ve been following Deb’s blogs since December when we found her. One of the things we loved was how she would take the time to write about the pups and what was going on. We did not see that with any other breeder and the love she has for her dogs and pups. That goes a long way with the pups and their personality and that’s why they turn out to be such great companions. I also do hope that she changes her mind and gives us all another chance and continues to blog. Everyday I look forward to her blogs and pictures and excited to see what’s going on.

I’m sorry about that, I read everything you put up on a daily basis and love and appreciate seeing everything that’s going on with the pups. Im beyond excited about meeting our girl! Ps also I don’t really know if I’m responding right on here... I’ve never really left a comment on a blog before 🤦🏻♀️ Thanks for all your documentation 😊

Sorry to hear about this Deb, I know how much effort and time you put into every litter and it can certainly be discouraging. I have followed each and every litter since Kona and this site (and blog) is always visited daily. I don't have Facebook so this is the only place I can see pics of your adorable pups. Even if I'm not posting I'm always lurking! :)

Thank you Brandon... it's unfortunate due to circumstances at the time you weren't able to follow Kona's litter. So glad she's with you though!!!! My regular blog needs some serious updating... as does the entire website. One of these days...

Not trying... very successfully howling. It's something most do as pups on occasion.

How funny. I know when Tom and I leave the house together which is not very often without Cam in tow. We can hear them barking and howling. Tom said when the answering machine comes on they all howl. They are all so funny 💕 Leave a Reply. |
