Hello all at Kimbertal,
I just wanted to take a moment to thank Kimbertal for my Dobe pup, who is more than meeting all my expectations. He is your Dankan pup D23B, whelped 11/3/06. His registered name is now Kimbertal Rough and Reddy, better known around here as Jake.
When I contacted you, I told you I wanted the "biggest and sweetest" red male available, and I have certainly gotten what I asked for. On his 4 mos. birthday yesterday, he stands 21 inches at the shoulder, and weighs 48 pounds. He is gorgeous, and his temperament is terrific- very sweet and loving in a super-exuberant Dobe pup way. He loves everyone he sees, and our Vet and his staff love to see him come in the door! Our vet is very impressed with what a sound and sweet dog he is.
He is very intelligent, learns quickly, but of course is a "bull headed" as most Dobe pups are, especially when it comes to dropping something he wants to chew on! He has learned basic manners and commands, (sit, down, wait, off, etc.) and is good about them most of the time, except when the enthusiasm takes over, as one would expect at just barely 4 mos. We hope to start puppy kindergarten soon, and go on with obedience training after that.
Most impressive at his age, he has instinctively learned the difference in how to behave with my husband, who has Parkinson's disease, and how he can behave with those of us who can move well--he is much gentler with my husband than with the rest of the world at large!
So thank you again for my wonderful Jake-- I am looking forward to years of fun, companionship and love from my big red Dobe.
Sincerely,
Bev Hagberg
