Imagine...

I was first introduced to the Dobermann breed as a child.  During my childhood years we had the privilege of owning 2 Dobermanns who were the most amazing dogs.  I fell in love with them and I swore that I would always have a Dobermann in my life.  My husband and I originally owned 2 Jack Russells (another love of my life) for many years.  They lived to the ripe old age of 15 and when the first one passed, I took the opportunity to get my own Dobermann pup, way back in 2004.   'Bomber' taught me a great deal about Dobermanns and we had a superb journey together.  Unfortunately as he grew old his legs gave up and very sadly passed away in 2015 aged 11, we still miss him dearly.

It was after getting Bomber that I was introduced to the raw diet by a dog trainer.  I've never looked back, it was the best thing I've ever done, my boys and girls thrive on it.

Around 2009 we came across an advert for a Dobermann bitch and as I was looking for a friend for Bomber we went to have a look at her.  Fudge was a beautiful girl and her family just didn't want her (she was a lot smaller than they expected).  We happily paid them to get her out of there and she clicked with Bomber immediately, they soon became inseparable. She was switched immediately to the raw diet and loved it!  Unfortunately she had sudden death DCM 4 years later, which was totally devastating for all of us.

It was a good few years after that my eyes were opened by a friend on the dangers of over-vaccination and chemical flea treatments and the like.  I did a great deal of research on this, and encourage everyone I meet to do the same, as some of the horror stories out there are truly awful.  It made me think "Why do we do this to our beloved pets?" Just think that if a topical flea treatment kills fleas on the skin, what damage is it doing to your dog? Even though we had Jack Russells live to 15 on an unnatural processed diet, vaccinated each year and other chemical treatments, I can't help but wonder that maybe they would have lived another few years if they had been more natural.  It saddens me to think they could have had a much healthier and better quality life if I'd been educated that bit sooner.

Everything we do now is as natural as we can make it and we will never stray from this.  I believe all of this helps our dogs be the healthy, happy dogs we have today.   

We currently own 4 beautiful Dobermanns.  Denzel is 10 years old, has had up to his first booster vaccination, before my eyes were opened, and has had no more, and no other chemical treatments. Alesia is 8  and has had absolutely no vaccinations or chemicals.  She had homeopathic Nosodes as a pup. We also have 3 year old Luther and his beautiful sister Maple from Alesia's first and only litter. He is doing very well in the show ring, various scent work activities, swimming and protection work. 

My dreams are to have completely naturally reared dogs, from natural parents, and to educate people - you DO have a choice.  DO your research. DON'T be bullied into vaccinating, neutering or other chemical abuse.
