I'll see if I can lay my hands on a copy of that book. <br /><br />There's at least one breed I know of that has a skull that's malformed for its brain in many cases, causing pain for the dog.....and it's the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Not the Doberman. Shame on that vet!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10562151546770315227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938120942169485220.post-78234752894485507602012-02-03T18:42:35.913-05:002012-02-03T18:42:35.913-05:00Marine General Puller got into a controversy becau...Marine General Puller got into a controversy because he didn't want Dobies in combat. He claimed they were too sensitive to concussion.<br /><br />In the book Marine!The Life of Chesty Puller, the author recounted an encounter with an official of a Doberman breeding association, who got very indignant over Puller's claims.<br /><br />Anyway, I hope that Dobie lovers can be realistic about breed problems, and maybe correct them.<br /><br />Just another item of curiousity: a Dobie owner told me he gave his pooch an aspirin daily. Supposedly a vet said their skulls were too narrow, and caused headaches from brain pressure.Grandpappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11245092212423428366noreply@blogger.com
