SizzleDog Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Ahhh, I found my own ride, nevermind... :wink: Went to the Des Moines dog show - HUGE show here in Iowa. Ilsa's sire took a Group 2, YAY for Cruiser! Personally, I think he should have taken Group - the Great Dane that took it wasn't a stellar dane 0 then again, the group judge has a reputation for intentionally not putting up Dobermans... why, I don't know. Anyway... on with the photos! Cruiser waiting for his photo shoot! [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/lhartlep/General/100_5401.jpg[/img] more waiting...

imported_Kat Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Those are excellent photos and thank you very very much for sharing. :D I have to say that Cruiser is a fantastic Dobe and has a lovely muscle structure and topline and yep should have beat the Dane :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True_Pits Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Those are all great pics!!!! Not picking Dobies! I hate biased judges:roll: And Dobies happen to be one of my fav breeds. I need to finish scanning my Iowa show pics, when I get time, maybe later tonight. We took Best Of Show. I'll get the pics up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen Bitch Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 See guys, you have to put your requests in ahead of time, like I did. :P I think that is the same Dalmatian that I was talking about at the Duluth show. Boy I wish I could have gone down there. *sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllAmericanPUP Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 Cruiser is gorgeous!! you are right, that great dane is not very stunning at all. cruiser definately should have beat that dane!! i love danes, but my god that dog is not a very good example of the breed. ok enough rambling lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MajiesMom Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Nice looking dogs! Whats with the 2 handlers with the ugly bandages on their knees? Is that a dog show/handler thing? I would wear a pant suit not a skirt! :drinking: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SizzleDog Posted September 8, 2004 Author Share Posted September 8, 2004 newfiesmom - the newf that went BOB didn't show up for group! Neither did the St. Bernard, the Bull Terrier, the Pynenees, the Foxhound... The Labrador and the Springer showed up, but I didn't get clear shots of them. The Springer wasa lovely bitch - young, but still stunning. The Labrador was... erm... a bit tubby for my taste (most of the American show labs are). Besides, those huge elbow calluses really show up on a yellow dog! MajiesMom - I don't know about the other handler, but Dawn Honaker (Cruiser's Handler) has been wearing a brace for quite some time. I believe the story is that one of my breeder's dogs tripped her in the excitement of a BIS... and her knee has never been the same! Then again, there may be another reason. Dawn usually wears skirts when she handles Cruiser - not sure why, maybe it's a movement thing. ::shrug:: I've looked through all of my Doberman Digests, and every single ad for Cruiser shows Dawn wearing a skirt... My problems with the Dane are as follows: ~ chest not deep enough ~ knuckles over ~ straight front ~ wear/overextended rear pasterns She was a young bitch - under 18 months - personally, I don't think she was Group Winner material. There were many dogs (like the Samoyed, the Standard Schnauzer, Cruiser obviously, and the Boxer) that IMO fit their respective standards more closely.

ESSlover Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Yeah! The springer did good! I would like to request next time you go to one to get a shot of a springer for me! Please and thank you! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Beautiful Dogs!! :) Where's the Aussies ?? lol JK great pictures! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsefeathers! Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Cruiser is stunning. It has long been decided that there will be other Dobes in my future in addition to the Standard Poodles. Rocco has certainly won me over. But this.... *drooooool*dreamy sigh* :iloveyou: [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/lhartlep/General/100_5521.jpg[/img] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SizzleDog Posted September 8, 2004 Author Share Posted September 8, 2004 Nothing happens if you don't show up for group - it's just tacky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
