Dobermans in Black & White

Wow. BEAUTIFUL pictures, Sizzle! : )

I agree with Zoom... they are so easy to tell apart, once you notice how different their personalities are.

Yayyy! I'm glad a lot of you leared to tell them apart with this thread! They are hard to tell apart, but it's really true - once you learn their personalities, it just clicks.

I'm embarassed to say that I can't tell Paige's BCs (Spanky and Bandit) apart!

PS - another way to tell mine apart is that Ilsa's collar has two rows of little button studs, and Ronin's has sheriff stars AND button studs...

I was JUST going to say that I can tell them apart by collar.
AND if they're next to each other, I can tell them apart because Ilsa has a broader chest.

AND if they're apart in pics, I can sometimes tell them apart by what they're doing in a pic. Ronin is the goofball.

Now I bet you'll switch around the collars on us, huh?

I LOVE the tennis ball one. It rocks my socks off. Definitely needs to be in a doggie calendar.

Great Doberman speech, btw.

Those are GREAT PICS! Beautiful dogs too!

Yep, it's become very easy to tell them apart now.

Awe, that last pic is just too sweet Orson needs a sister that wants to tolerate his antics better than Phoebe does.

I have learned that Ilsa's markings are a lighter shade than Ronin's and I have seen them enough to know the difference

Dobermans are genertally good with kids, but not all of them are. I don't trust my male around "loose" kids, as he has a very high prey drive and running, screaming children could be percieved as prey.

I think this is becoming more of an issue for Orson He is fine with OUR kids as he considers them HIS kids...........but I see a difference in him just watching the neighbor kids out the window or being out on walks, something in his eyes when they get to running and yelling that I just don't like. I really think he would LOVE to chase them and 'bring them down' For this reason I don't trust him around other kids, even if I am wrong I would rather take the safe road.
