imported_Kat Posted December 16, 2004 Posted December 16, 2004 Excellent! He really is a very worthy winner :wink: Quote
SizzleDog Posted December 16, 2004 Author Posted December 16, 2004 Nope, I wasn't there - a good friend informed me of his winning yesterday, and I was on Cloud Nine! Quote
Queen Bitch Posted December 16, 2004 Posted December 16, 2004 YAY Ilsa's daddy! Now we all know where she gets her good looks. :angel: Quote
courtnek Posted December 17, 2004 Posted December 17, 2004 me too DO!!! I'm only about 2 hours from Starved Rock, and a little less to Wheaton!!! My sons grandparents live 1/2 hour south of Starved Rock State Park. I coulda visited them too. Quote
Horsefeathers! Posted December 17, 2004 Posted December 17, 2004 Way to go, Ilsa's daddy! Wish I could see the pictures better, but my stupid monitor... :x Quote
Rusty&Chip Posted December 17, 2004 Posted December 17, 2004 Cangratulations Cruiser! He is beautiful! :o Quote
hicksstar Posted December 17, 2004 Posted December 17, 2004 What a beauty. :D Well done Cruiser. Quote
courtnek Posted December 17, 2004 Posted December 17, 2004 how much does Cruiser weigh? and how tall is he? I honestly think thats the biggest dobie I have ever seen, unless the pictures make him look bigger somehow.... :o :o Quote
mouseatthebusstop Posted December 18, 2004 Posted December 18, 2004 do you show Ilsa Well Done Daddy :lol: Quote
SizzleDog Posted December 18, 2004 Author Posted December 18, 2004 courtnek - Yes, Crusier is known as the big red boy... he's about 29" at the shoulder and about 85-90lbs... about the same size as Ilsa. He's a large boy, but it hasn't hurt his show career as of yet! And nope - Ilsa's spayed, so no showing for her! Quote
courtnek Posted December 19, 2004 Posted December 19, 2004 I keep going back to look at that picture..Cruiser is just, well, HUGE. Very beautiful, but I have NEVER seenone that big.....what is average for a Dobie? My son loves them, but even he says he has never seen one that big.... He is gorgeous. I'm glad he won. His stance is just perfect.... Now I know where Ilsa gets her good looks. Was the mom big too? Quote
SizzleDog Posted December 19, 2004 Author Posted December 19, 2004 Yes, her dam (Kona) was a bit on the large size too - she got it from Demand, her sire... Demand is a big boy too! The standard says bitches 24-26 inches, dogs 26-28 inches. However, most Dobermans in the ring today are a bit larger than the standard, especially the males. A male doberman should look like a stallion! Quote
