I'm originally from just south of Alexandria, LA, but now I'm in Jackson, MS. I'm glad to see other doberpeople from the DEEP south!! haha.
We're fostering a dog for the Gulf Coast Doberman Rescue, Colt (he's at the bottom of the "Doberfriends" page) - Gulf Coast Doberman Rescue. They also have a facebook page. They do all kinds of events around New Orleans. Even if they don't have a puppy that you want right now, if you put in an application, they will contact you when they have pups.
We found a breeder in Ville Platte (where my wife is from). Any suggestions on a vet that can do a good crop? I've heard really good reviews for Dr. Fruge in Eunice, but I'm not familiar with how often you have to follow-up (I know that the follow-up will determine the results) and we live in Shreveport.
Agreed, no offense to you or your breeder, but make sure you have found not just a breeder but a good, reputable breeder! In the long run, you'll be glad you did! Check out the puppy-buying guide here at the DCPA: Buying A Doberman Pinscher and also feel free to post in the "Breeding & Breeders" section to get other member's experiences and feedback with your breeder, or others in the area.
Any of you Louisiana dobe-folk happen to be near the Leesville - DeRidder area?
Hi Nick! We're in Duson! Right down the road from you guys! I wish there were more Dobe owners from our area on here! I would LOVE to get Duke together with some other Dobe's!
We're down the road in Baton Rouge. Have an AKC 12 yr old spayed black/rust female with Brykris championship lineage. The other side is Elhaus.
At 9 mo, we got this sweet, beautiful show ring dropout basically for the cost of her ear & tail docking. Our first Dobe, and 11 yrs later, couldn't be any more pleased. European-style blunt muzzle, wide head, nearly perfect lush satin velvet coat (after some initial Demodex issues), super-obedient, smart, funny, and sweet. And, healthy. None of the serious maladies common to Dobes.
Originally got her as indoor security companion for widowed MIL, but didn't work out, so we took her. Never looked back, and it's been great.
But...she's now 12 and slowed way down. We'd love another one similar to her, if possible. Buy or adopt. We'd prefer a young adult, or an older puppy. Another show ring dropout would be ideal.
I see this was posted in 2010, but I must say that I am in Lafayette Louisiana. I would love to go to Youth Park (off leash dog park) or Gerard Park (On leash dog park) to meet up with other Doberman owners and their Dobies as well! If you're in the area please message me and let me know!!
Just found this site. I'm from Rayne and looking to get a dobie to add to our household
