We're ready when you are, spring. - Doberman Forum : Doberman Breed Dog Forums

In spite of it still being early January the girls are ready for Spring. They've even already switched out their winter collar wardrobe for some new spring inspired collars...just waiting on the weather to catch up but that may be a while longer yet.

Tali in her new daisies

Fiona in her new pinwheel zinnia

The collars

Love the heavy-duty hardware on these.

And a few of Fiona displaying what a good listener she is, just for stories and conversation though. The strangest thing happens when you try to tell her what to do - poof - she instantly goes deaf...so odd.

Tali and Fiona <3 It's been too long since I've seen pictures of them. They look so good in their spring collars!

HarvestMoon · 01-07-2013, 02:38 PM

Such pretty collars for your beautiful girls!

Sam1491 · 01-07-2013, 02:43 PM

Love dogs-art! The girls look beautiful as always

I've been meaning to get mabel a turqouise pinwheel zinnia for forever...one day!

Meldrew79 · 01-07-2013, 02:44 PM

What pretty girls! We are definitely ready for some spring here!

**dax0402** · 01-07-2013, 02:50 PM

They look goregous in their spring collars. Hoping its just around the corner!

Zephyr · 01-07-2013, 03:16 PM

I love their new collars, and Fi is a pro at the deceivingly innocent head tilt. Tell her we at DT know better!

RottenVonSpotten · 01-07-2013, 03:19 PM

They look great, especially Tali! Is it her collar that makes her look so thin and fit, or has she kept her weight off

brw1982 · 01-07-2013, 04:01 PM

Thanks everyone! I really love Dogs-Art collars and I think my girls look pretty cute in their new collars but they'll beat me if I don't say that.

Zephyr - Fi is definitely a pro at looking innocent. People also often mistake her for calm and reserved when we're out on walks; if only they could see her in the comfort of her own home, or say, oh I don't know...anywhere off leash! LOL

Rotten - Tali is keeping the weight off!!! (Thankfully she's an easy keeper as long as I pay attention.) She's perpetually ready for swimsuit season!

I really should stop dreaming of spring weather so soon after the holidays. It just makes the winter seem even longer the last few years!

Beautiful collars, however its the girls that make them look great.

Collars are such a weakness for me. Like potato chips you can`t just have one.

RedFawnRising · 01-08-2013, 01:13 AM

Love the collars, esp. the daisy one. Phooey that blue Whip does not look good in earthy colors like that or I'd try to copy you and get one.

And, Dobergirls get me every single time, with that turny head cute listening thing. Whip uses that for evil, all the time.

OldDrumDobes · 01-08-2013, 02:08 AM

The girls look beautiful as always!! LOVE the pretty spring collars! The colors make me think of Easter.

Yeah....I totally think of Spring as soon as it first gets cold. Talk about unrealistic expectations!

The girls do look lovely. I love the conversational head tilts as well....Elka and I really played that up at Christmas with the family this year, frequently with her talking back as well. We're nearly ready to take this act on the road!

Toby'shuman · 01-08-2013, 08:56 AM

Toby has got goosebumps, not might I add for the collars, but for the models wearing them.

However, this said, he rather likes the collars too, they are really nice and look good quality. Do you know if they deliver only to the US or will deliver to Europe too?

You might check with Andrea about using the daisy ribbon with another color of leather for the backing. I know she does custom stuff and I imagine that'd be fairly simple to just swap out leather.

Fiona does the head tilt thing - All. The. Time. LOL She even listens and tilts her head at me when I'm talking to other people. Cracks me up.

The girls send Toby nose pokes and nubbins.

I don't know if she ships outside the US. She's usually really quick to respond though; you should contact her and ask! I love her collars. The girls have 3 each now.

They do look Easter-y.

I don't usually like pastels but I really love these. They're nice and feminine without being overtly so.

Love the new collars! The head tilt pics are so cute and your girls are gorgeous

that head tilt is the cutest thing! Bella does it to me alot, especially when I talk right to her.
Love the collars, one of these days Im getting that type for my girls!

Lori Z · 01-09-2013, 11:43 AM

Buying spring collars isn't gonna make the winter go away, live in your fantasy world if you like.

VERY cool collars btw...just might have to get a boy version.

Andrea, who is a member here, is from Germany - I'm thinking that her friends and family in Europe might not be too happy with her if she wouldn't send collars to them.. you should PM her (user name is Andrea), or look at her facebook page (search dogs-art, and you'll see that intense Dober-eye staring at you!), and message her your inquiry.

Rams · 01-09-2013, 06:35 PM

brw, we haven't even had a winter yet and you are already looking for spring? It was over fifty degrees in Joplin for the past few days. We have only had a dusting or two - not enough to have any fun with anyway...

Rams is not a fan of the cold or wet weather for sure. He shivers and chatters in the 65 degree house if he's naked. He has spent the past few afternoons sunning on the deck and refuses to come in. He wants spring too. Maybe he needs a new collar?

I tell everyone I am solar powered and require the sun's rays to survive. I NEED spring.

Great looking photos!

Hahahaha - I know, I'm pathetic.

Winter has not even begun here yet but, yes, I'd like spring to start already! Please and thank you.

Tali gets chilled easily but Fiona really doesn't; it has to be incredibly cold for Fiona to take much notice. Neither of them like wet but Fiona will play 'til she drops when we get snow. Tali takes a little convincing to play in the cold, even for snow.

And yes, I think Rams does need a new spring collar. Maybe if we all think "spring" hard enough, it will come!

I was thinking the same thing....except I don't yet know her well enough haha. I've seen that look before though

flaminscotch · 01-10-2013, 08:08 AM

We have 2 ft of snow.

I love your red girls they are way toooooooooo cute...and I love the collars

bean · 01-10-2013, 07:19 PM

Your gorgeous ladies have reminded me that my dogs need new collars from Andrea, too! And I hear them - SPRING.. get yer butt HERE already.

RFR - she'll do anything. I've even sent her my own ribbon before. She's awesome to work with.
