I wanted to report about our Doberman rescue puppies much more frequently, but alas my life has been too demanding to do so. But here I am today with another post about our little Doberman girls. In the following photos they have been eight to nine weeks old.
Here they are outside in our garden contained in a big X-Pen playing with Skylar, our adult red Doberman Pinscher, who is also a rescue Doberman. Playing for the Doberman puppies meant at this age nipping Skylar everywhere and all the time. From the left to the right right you see Elsa, Princess and Lilly.
For a male Doberman Pinscher Skylar was amazingly patient with them, but often even he had enough and needed some alone time to prevent things from getting out of hand. It is still amazing to me how much energy these little puppies had.
My husband bought stadium seats for us to have a more comfortable way to sit down and spent time with them in the X-Pen. Like everything else they made perfect chewing objects for them.
We got the puppies when they were about four weeks old and even though on these photos they are still very small in comparison to our mature Doberman boy, they had grown tremendously in the four to five weeks that we had them when these photos were taken.
Lilly and Skylar in one of the rare moments of quite when the puppies were awake.
The puppies at that age had still only three modes: Sleeping, playing and eating. Here Lilly crashed on the stadium seat.
They continued to love to huddle together for warmth and emotional comfort.
There was always something to sniff.
Elsa, on the right, sometimes could look pretty feisty already...
...and sometimes like the young, elegant, graceful Doberman lady that she was about to become.
They were so full of life and ready to explore the world. "What's next?" seemed to be a constant expression in their little faces.
Lilly, being curious and playful...
...and moments later giving you the typical, intense, fierce Doberman stare already
Love this profile photo of Lilly with her sister Princess in the background.
Lilly playing between the legs of my husband.
Gorgeous little girl!
The three siblings playing together. Elsa and Lilly are insight the X-Pen and Princess is outside, teasing them to get her.
It was always fun to see them interact, except when they were starting to get to rough with each other which happened sometimes, too.
Princess looking intensely...
...and seconds later is ready to go, which for a puppy means ready to play.
Profile shot of Princess. The two black Dobie girls looked remarkable similar.
Elsa, happily and proudly playing with a ball.
Isn't she cute?
"Come get me, if you can!"
Even at this age Elsa had still these unusual blue/olive colored eyes.
You got to stop and smell the roses - well, at least start with the leaves.
Always on the hunt.
Elsa aka Yoda: "I can walk myself"!
Hope you enjoyed seeing these photos from our rescue Doberman puppies. If you want to take a look at the two earlier posts that I did about them and read more about their story, please click here and here) They were a heck of a work, but boy, do I miss Elsa and Princess, that got adopted out soon after these photos were taken. As I mentioned previously, we kept Lilly for ourselves and she is growing rapidly into a beautiful Dobie female. It is almost hard to believe now that she was once so little.
Warm regards,

In case you wonder, Princess is wearing a puppy harness, because we started to walk the puppies on a leash and a harness is gentler on their bodies than a collar, but also to be able to grab them more easily in case we had to, when they were getting to rough with each other or in trouble in the garden.
