Lisa and Ernie,
We just wanted to drop you guys a line
with an update on Maggie now that she is nine months old. She
is one of the best dobermans we have purchased so far. We have
been so very pleased with every aspect of owning a Harraden's
Doberman. We are so happy that we are adding another one
of your beautiful red dobermans from your February 2007 litter. We
are so pleased with the fact that you health test your dogs and that
you are able to offer an extended health guarantee on all of your
puppies for any genetic problems. As a breeder of
Champion Show Weimaraners we have been excited to find someone
in another breed that also feels about breeding as we do. It
is a pleasure to know someone who is willing to back what they
breed. Because we are novices in the doberman ring your
knowledge of dobermans has been topnotch not to mention your support
and care for one of our two beloved breeds. One of the
things that Kerry and I both love about working with you and Ernie
is your Dobiedenner list. Networking with other owners of your
puppies and adult dobermans has been wonderful. We love our
extended family. The list has been vital in providing us with
information on dobermans as well as other important information such
as dog food recalls and training issues. We have learned so
many things and know that we will continue to do so with the help of
both Ernie and you and our fellow listmembers.
A little more about Maggie. Her drive and intelligence are incredible. She is rapidly
becoming a very good representative of the breed. We plan on
taking her to St. Louis MO. in June of this year to put her
International Championship on her. We continually study the
Doberman Breed Standard and are thrilled to see that Maggie is
maturing very nicely according to the standard. We are so
excited and hope to see wonderful things not only from her but her
sister as well in the future. Her conformation and
appearance are beautiful. She shows no shyness or viciousness
whatsoever. She has a good bite and has full dentition which
is crucial to the breed. She is in training for the show ring
and so far we are pleased with how well she is doing. Her
reach and drive are incredible also. We like our dogs to be
able to move out correctly and freely and she continues to be
balanced and strong. We have no doubt that each of the girls
will be able to fulfill the goals we have for them. Our
handler is very pleased as well.
Maggie is truly a joy to live with
and we are confident that Mercedes will follow in her sisters
footsteps.
Thank you again for allowing us to have
one of your dobermans and thank you for having confidence in us to
allow us to have another one.
So here is a picture of our girl that we
wanted to share with you. We hope to be able to send you
pictures of her IABCA Championship in June.
