Just an update on our new addition, we've had Leia for several months now and the whole family is delighted with her, probably the best behaved and sweetest dog we've ever owned. I'm to lazy to post pictures, but she can be seen here. http://www.devenshiredobermans.com/PRINCESS_LEIA.html

We have had good success with Ekenuba. Our German Sheppard(s) crosses over the years have all had very shiny and soft coats and have all lived to around 14 to 15 years old. They have been for the most part inside dogs and have always gotten lots of exercise and love. Not to mention the odd cookie, butter tart, slipper, and remote control.

Unfortunately the pure breds are not living as long these day's. My folks had to put down their golden retriever last year. The Vet said that the larger breeds are living anywhere from 8 to 10 years now.

The Vet said that the larger breeds are living anywhere from 8 to 10 years now. Unfortunately that is true, we were lucky enough to find 1 of only 5 breeders nationwide who have dogs certified by the AKC / DPCA, and as such are listed on the BFL-2. Which means not only did the parents live to 10 and older but also all grandparents.

Beautiful dog and more importantly, she sounds like a wonderful family member.
It is sad that big and pure bread means a shorter lifespan and greater chance of some medical issues, on average. Our purebred Lab is 13 and still enjoying life but his hips and legs are indeed full of arthritis. I fear this will be our last Christmas with him, but then again, that's what i said last year.
