Never a show dog due
to his disease but the cheekiest naughtiest little
Dobermann I have ever owned. Everybody loved him
who had the pleasure to meet him. In the early weeks
of his life I had so much heartache with him we
never knew how long he would live, vets told me to
PTS at 8 weeks old but I couldn't do it I wanted to
try everything in my power to help him & I did.
He eventually got over the disease with huge amounts
of medication steroids, antibiotics etc., but it had
caused a lot of damage to his joints and bone
structure, but he lived to our amazement a long and
happy life until he was 10.5 years old. Sadly
I had to make the decision to PTS as he could no
longer walk.

This disease is
something that I feel should be brought to the
attention of all breeders who are unaware of it, in
almost 20 years of breeding I have never come across
anything like it...click
