AVO Dobermans Testimonials

Hi Alan,

We received your note/survey, so I'll just answer your questions here.

We DO still have the Dobermans (2).

We feed them Iams Natural food (and carrots)!

We never took them for obedience training - we trained them ourselves

We never put them in shows - we got them for companionship and protection

We LOVE our babies!

We would DEFINITELY buy another one - not enough room in the house right now!

We would absolutely recommend you to other people.

We would be willing to be used as a reference on your web site.

Our red Doby - Zeus aka "Moo-Moo" and our black Doby - Duke Jr. aka "Bubba" are such blessings to us. They are like children with very different, distinct personalities. Zeus is definitely the domineering one. He does the protecting and barking, while Bubba just wants to snuggle and have us pet him. Zeus ALWAYS has a toy in his mouth, constantly exercising his jaws on hard rubber toys or bones. Bubba could care less about toys.

They both think they are still lap puppies. We spend our "family time" in the living room watching TV. Mark sits in his recliner with Zeus curled up in his lap. Bubba wants to be with me on the loveseat. Sometimes I get both of them on the loveseat with me.

Also, they both "talk" - it's quite hysterical when they get going. Mark narrates what they are saying if they could talk - the dialogue is quite hysterical!!

Yes, we are so happy with our babies - they are a great joy to us. Attached are two photos (Sharon's a lousy photographer)! The last one is a joke - it's not Zeus & Bubba, although they look exactly like our babies!

Hi Alan,

It's been two months and all is well and progressing at a nice pace with Bauer.

Last week he had his last visit to the vet to finish his inoculations. He is weighing in at 28.7 lbs. Our vet is very impressed with him.

It has been so much fun watching him grow and even begin to mature. Right now we are getting a mix of calm, attentive dog and crazy playful puppy. We recently had a gathering at our home with 30+ people and he was a prince (aside from doing his best to snatch a cheeseburger, he's so fast and smooth).

Thank you again for helping us bring Bauer into our lives. Amy & I couldn't be more happy with him.

I've attached a few pictures. He's a handsome little guy.

Take care.

Well, I just wanted to touch base with you and tell you that I could

not be more pleased with my little Gracie as she is loving, sweet,

and very smart. I now have a little bit of both in Addie and

Gracie. Addie is very smart but not nearly as sweet and gentle as

Gracie. Addie makes a great security dog and performs her job quite

well even though she is still a pup but she is not a dog you can curl

up next to and love on very well. In other words she is not a

submissive dog at all. She obeys and is quite smart but definitely

has a different personality than Gracie. Gracie has a very relaxed

and natural submissiveness about her that can only come from human

interaction. That goes to show that all that personal attention you

give those babies makes all the difference in the world in the long

run. Addie was raised by her litter mates and it is quite

obvious. Thanks for being such a good breeder and caring so much for

the breed and the owners that buy them from you.

Your Friend,

Hello!!! I can't even begin to tell you how well things are with Gunner! We love him so much!!

He is so well behaved, smart (sometimes too smart), beautiful, and caring. I even have people stop me at the store to compliment me on him (even when he's not with me). I cant think of what our lives would be like without him, even when he's hogging the whole bed. Jason and I just recently had a baby boy and Gunner just cant get enough of him. He's always by his side looking after him. He's a great big brother! Gunner also has a bestfriend named Rex, he's a chocolate lab that lives right next door. He'll sit outside their door and wait for him to come out and play for the day.

I want to thank you again for bringing him into our lives! Please enjoy the pictures.
