Johnny


  • Hey all,

    here is Johnny (Dogo Habari's Man in Black) at the beginning of July. He still has a long way to go to develop, but I'm very happy with this boy. And yes, he was a little high in the rear at that point.

  • Johnny is handsome boy indeed. How tall is he? He looks big at the second pic.


  • He's actually smaller than he looks. He's only about 16 inches and about 19 lbs. He looks very straight in the front in the second pic, but again, that's not the way he is. His head is pulled up and back in that pic.


  • He's looking nice Arlene. Have you had a chance to show him yet?


  • I have showed him, but he is a typical puppy. He's a goof and just wants to play. He loses to what I call 'robot' dogs. Puppies that are very mature looking and are trained for this sort of thing. I prefer mine to play and have fun the first year and after that, training begins. Jan Bruner was on the fence about putting him up, but, she said he's still so much puppy but will be very, very nice when he's more mature. I will put him in a show in Oct and see how he does. Frankie will be at the same show.


  • I totally agree with you Arlene, about letting puppies be puppies! Mind you I was mortified when one of mine who played up in the ring at her first outing went on to get Best Puppy from amongst several very well trained puppies!

    Lovely pictures, he's certainly a smart little boy!!


  • I absolutely love the looks of this boy, Arlene. He's stunning, probably even more so in person with his puppy attitude.


  • Thank you. He's very much a little boy right now. I am entering him in a couple of upcoming shows, but don't expect anything. It's more of a trial than anything.

    @elbrant Yes, she's good an patient sometimes, I've been taking pics of her from day 1 so she's used to it, I'm allowed a couple of mins and no more though.

    Nice looking dog! I'm tempted to get another too once Safi is a bit older.

    Arlene, lol, I do want to add something. Others wondered about being so close to a pup and letting it go. But I admit that I have gotten more joy from the love of a pup I "let go" and the love they gave and got from their new home than almost any I kept. I have rarely believed I was the ONLY or even best home for any dog. My chow/coyotee and Sayblee being 2 exceptions. I just got a "thank you, I love you" from a chow mix I placed 12 yrs ago with one of my best friends. Sally died 8 yrs later, and a woman I had never met but who was friends/neighbors with my friend (the one who is starting a new line btw) offered to take sweet Rachel as she also had adopted her litter mate from me. Donna died about a 2 yrs later with cancer, but Rachel is still doing fine. Her children have grown up with those dogs, her son distraught soon after they got Donna that he couldn't take her for show and tell. :) Count me in on those who understand placing a dog can bring and be joyful. Obviously you have found a great home.
