Hello~

Hope its ok to post this here...
I was having a real hard time finding other dobie owners in my area, and
formed a meetup group online.
If you know anyone who lives in the tri-state area and would like to meet other dobermans and let them play together, please let them know! It's free to join and I would love for Lexi to have more dobie friends~

We meet at local parks during off-leash hours, local dog runs, and planning hiking trips once a month.

Our 1st meet will be in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, NY
on October 27th 5pm - 8:30pm on Nethermead.

We have 5 dobies so far~Please help me spread the word!

It sounds to me like five Dobermans is plenty. Out here where I am I don't know of any. Well, there is one group in the general region trying to do something like that, but they only had one or two Dobermans the last I heard, and they wanted to let males run together and I don't want to do that.

I know it could be nice, overhere they organize 2 or 3 times a year a dobermann beach walking, or sometimes in the woods. So they did organize it 2 weeks ago, there were about 17 dobermanns, and they all play together and run, it seems how bigger the group, how more less they fight. Its organize by some people of also take care of the website of the dutch dobermannclub, and because it is a succes they do it for about three years now.

Here some pictures.

That is so awesome! Duchess would love playing with another dobe I think! Coco doesnt understand how to fully play yet...and I think duchess gets frustrated. One time at the dog park she met a little doberman puppy and that puppy was chasing duchess around in circles forever! stalking! and playing like dobes play

great pictures!

i wish our group could be like that~but micdobe is right too many could cause mayhem...so far there is only one male in the group (unfixed) so keeping my fingers crossed over that issue!

Well, if anyone knows tri-state owners, please send them the message~
Lexi realy need dobe friends, she's acting like a yorkie....hahaha
thanks!

Great pictures Elly!! Love all those dobes together!

I'm Ohio, too bad it isn't closer, I'd be game

im in the area, but i would never bring my dobe to a playgroup that involved another strange male doberman, ESPECIALLY if he is intact!

elly · 10-06-2006, 10:20 AM

Thats your experience, I do respect that,

Most males are intact I can tell you, they organize it here allready for a few years and never had any problems or fighting, the even go afterwards drink some coffe, with all the dogs and people, and they all have a nice day. don't forget they are well trained dogs who listen very well.

Last year we organize a dobermanplay day and we were having about 40 dobes, Every year the dutch dobermann club organized a lot of events, and every year a other club has his turn, so we were last year. I will show you some pictures to get a impression of it. We did a lot of games, ofcourse for the dogs, and there was a confirmation show, to let the people know what confirmation is, and a judge describes their dogs.

first the flag

The show

and the games

and her my favorite,

We took a A frame, make two wholes on both sides, put a long rope thru it, and at the end of both sides a bite tug, so the dogs don't see eachother, but feel the otherone pull on the other side, and they wanne have it desperatly!

The last picture is my yordi

It was fun that day,

wow ~ i really want to move there now!!! i bet lexi would too~
looks like so much fun~ do you mind if post these pictures on the site?

doberkim - i definitely understand your concerns. we do have strict rules posted on our about us page about aggression.
i wouldnt want anything bad to happen on a playdate~ but im sure owners know their dogs, and how they are around others and wouldnt/shouldnt come to playgroup if there was a doubt....but most city dogs are overwhelmed with socialization!
