    Hi guys

    The pictures of your dogs are amazing! Absolutely beautiful animals. I've been reading treads on this forum for ages and have found the advice/discussion so helpful. Seeing this thread about restricted breads however has finally nudged me to register and to post for the first time. We have owned 2 GSD and a doberman. Both GSD passed away a few years ago, but like ye say they were 'vicious' dogs only insofar as they slobbered all over us as often as possible. We couldnt have asked for better, milder mannered pets in the whole world.

    Our doberman was only 4 years old a few weeks ago. Like the other two he was nothing but loving and kind and we were always very responsible with him. He had an encaged run, slept in an enclosed shed and was left loose with a radio fence when we were around. We did walk him, but always kept him under control. In our area, which is rural, several other dogs including retreivers, labradors and numerous other big and small dogs roam free, but we were always responsible with our beautiful mild mannered doberman and never let him run with other dogs.

    We had him out for a run with us last week when he fell down twice, we thought he was tired. Two days later he completely lost his footing and was disorientated and we rushed him to the vet. We were told that he was poisoned. We asked that everything possible be done to save him no matter the cost, but the following day we had to watch our precious pet being put to sleep as he was in too much pain and could not pull through.

    He was poisoned deliberately by a neighbour with anti-freeze or something similar the vet said (I am sure of this but couldnt prove it so cant do anything about it for now), he was literally never left out of our sight until he was put to bed each night, so he had to be poisoned in his bed (there was a small gap at her top of the door). I'm so sorry for such a long post it being my first post, but my husband wants to buy another doberman but I never want to go through what I went through last week again or never want to put another dog through the pain our darling doberman went through. Should we just not get another dog?

    alabaster, very sorry to hear your story, have had this happen to me but not to the same degree my dog was also poisoned but pulled through the following day. Its possibly the most cowardly way to harm/kill someones dog, i really do hope you find out who done it and report them. As the previous poster said don't rush into anything regarding your new dog, give yourself time to grieve and move on from there.

    Thank you TillyGirl and Ricardo G

    Ricardo G I'm so happy that your poor dog pulled through, you know how hard it is to look at them poisoned, its killing to see...they go through so much that no living thing should go through when they are poisoned..I dont want to repeat here what our little darling suffered but I can put my hand on my heart and say that he did not deserve that cruel, prolonged death any more than me, my husband or daughter did. I know exactly who murdered him, I just cant prove it, we have only only one neighbour capable of this cruelty. We are now in the process of buildong a shed closer to our house to make sure any future dog would be safe, but are we being selfish looking for another dog after what happened. I have to add that we love dogs and although we would love them to be part of our home, would be willing to not have dogs if we cant provide a safe environment for them because of our crazy neighbour.

    Alabbaster - what happened to your dog is dreadful. And having to live beside someone capable of such a heinous act must be difficult. There was a thread on boards I came across today, when doing a search, of someone asking what to do about a neighbours barking dog and several posters recommended poisoning it. There's more people need restricting than dogs for sure.

    If you do get another dog in time it might be best to get one that's happy to be indoors rather than risk your neighbour getting to it.

    Did Millie find a beetle in the grass? That's what my Huskies do when they try to squash a bug and get the smell on them.

    No she does that everytime we come home from a walk, i think the muzzle makes her ichy so she does a dive attack and gives it a good scratch when we get home :)

    TaraR - I think that I met your dogs on an IPBTA walk in the Phoenix Park, I'd recognise Boots and his pointy ears anywhere :) We couldn't stay long as Suzie was not happy at all with her new halti

    All your dogs are amazing

    Good to get this thread going again.

    Suzie gets tired from all the daily mauling, attacking and general terrorising involved in being a RB

    Thats him alright...he is an absolutely STUNNING dog, and so so placid and friendly. We head to Kilfinane at the weekends with Ruby to walk them together to get them used to each other and they got on like a house on fire from the start....I cant wait until we're back from holidays so he can finally come live with us :D
