I don't see how you think they are ugly? Why come? (idiocracy) I think they are beautiful! Pure muscle! A great specimen IMHO. I am obviously biased but still.

May I ask why your dogs are kenneled at night? I was told as a training perspective that I should keep my dog kenneled but other than that I don't see the reason. I actually see it as a disadvantage to the dog and us. Say during the day my house gets broken into or catches on fire, all unlikely, but why keep my dog locked up? My boy was kenneled until he was 6 month old as a protection for him and my shoes , once I knew he was trustworthy not to destroy anything he was free.

As far as the video, the question about the amount of money, there is no amount!!!! I don't care if the money gets me out of the city with all the survivor gear I need! There is no amount of money worth my dog!

Osiris, I just find them ugly. As a kid I grew up watching the Doberman Gang, and after 47 year, Enzo is my first doberman because I kept on taking in strays and hard cases. It's really personal preferences, why does someone like Porsches over Ferrari's?

Regarding the Kenneling part. While I truly love my dogs with every breathing breath, they are working dogs. I'm spending a lot of time and money training them and their focus must be on ME. Trust me when I say this, dogs have much more fun with other dogs than with humans. So to keep them focused you kennel them and remove the desire for interaction with dogs. It sounds screwed up but it's really not. Also I fucked up with Enzo and allowed him to play with my other dogs. He was kenneled until until he was about 6 months old when I wasn't home in a 12x12 pen and when I got home he was allowed to play with me and everyone. Apparently my old female rottie terrorized him when I wasn't home and then she passed when he was about 8 months old. I never knew that until the first time we were doing a test run for his behavioral test and the women that was going to trial with me had a rottie and he flipped out, wanted to kill the rottie and was reactionary towards me. YES, dogs will remember a breed or look.

Also keep in mind, Enzo and Shelby aren't neutered. They both come from different lines, so I can't have an "accident" happen, and she actually came into heat on Monday, so Enzo and her are fricken pisses me off right now. Someday, I think what we'll do is have an out cross with her and Enzo just because his genetics and hers are damn nice, but we first have to line breed her which will probably happen on her next heat cycle because we've already got 11 puppies and we want exceptional homes for them. So next March puppies from Shelby and maybe this time next year an Enzo Shelby breeding.

Now I didn't recognize some of this hierarchy shit that these monkeys do. But if you take the time to watch this video. This was when Enzo was 16 WEEKS old. You'll see Indy being the mom, and my rottie Jinx completely avoiding him. I also think there are a few things in play here. I found Jinx on the 605 and 10 freeway completely emaciated. Ribs showing, the whole nine yards, we don't know old she was but I'm guessing 2, regardless, I had her for 10 years. So when the puppy showed up she was an old woman. Probably joint pain, thinking about OMG there's another mouth to feed, this punk is crazy, because she'd never experienced a crazy puppy.



You probably didn't know this but two males rarely fight to the death, and a male will allow a female to kick the living shit out of him, and females that aren't neutered will fight to the death.

So let me ask you a question Osiris. Am I being a dick, or just looking out for the welfare of my dogs? BTW, when I leave a crate open, Enzo will go into one on his own and fall asleep, it's a safe place for them.
