Well there is so much to update it has been a very long time since I was able to get out a newsletter, my laptop with the mailing list died one month ago, and I have been trying to make due ever since. I have a temporary solution working today so I wanted to send out the update!

First thanks to some wonderful people, Jim and Mary Piccolo, we have relocated the kennel to sunny Scottsdale Az.  Now we are able to train year around with some great trainers and clubs. It has truly been a blessing in our lives. We welcome visitors to the kennel by appt.

Also Steve and Kathy welcomed a new baby into the family just two weeks ago, little Katie Briquelle who has been the best baby we have ever had. I fought for months to get her named “K8” who would someday work with “K9’s” but Kathy wouldn’t have it ;-) so she is Katie for now. Mom and Baby are both doing very well. That has also kept Dad quite busy…

And we are getting ready for the Jewell X Fedor litter which will be born sometime this week, poor Jewell looks like she is ready to pop! We are very excited about this litter since working two of his sons last summer, we had to have jewell bred to Fedor too. We were fortunate enough to have “Max” a Fedor son back with us for some training the last two weeks, and I couldn’t go anywhere without people telling me he was the most amazing Doberman they had ever seen.  So it is easy to see why we are so excited about this litter. We are now taking reservations on this litter.

Finally we want to remind everyone that there have not been many new members on the Doberman forum list lately, we urge you all to be a part of that, many of you have questions, and many others have answers that could be very helpful and we urge you to share your good information. The two most frequent calls I get relate to housetraining and puppy biting/chewing. There are specific threads to address those issues and help others along the way, please log in and share your great ideas too! http://www.dobermanplace.com

Well a very Happy Easter to all of you from Family Dobes, we have many blessings to be grateful for in our lives.
