Mood: Let's have a BBQ!

Actually we did have her ears cropped but only slightly. I really don't like the look of the small ears some leave them with. Beba was such a trooper
she never even complained or seemed to pay them much notice. The vet gave us a neat trick to help them take quickly and I think her ears came out
looking great. She certainly does makes folks take notice when they approach the property.
In a couple of months we will be bringing down her older (and bigger) brother Kobe. If Beba didn't get their attention, Kobe certainly will...

To Whom it may concern:
Please be advised that the Annual San Quintin Cadillac Margarita Festival will be held in La Paz....indefinitely! No dogs over 30 pounds allowed!

And now Beba is almost full grown. Most folks seem a bit hesitant to approach the property lately, although I am not sure why. She really is a
sweetheart...

Wait til you meet Kobe. He is without a doubt the largest (and strongest) doberman I have ever seen. I swear his father must have been a horse...

Just stay close to me, don't look him directly in the eyes or make any sudden moves and you will probably be okay...

Thanks. Wait till you see Kobe - a 90 pound black doberman lap dog.
I'll post a photo of him as soon as we bring him down...

A local grocery store owner has a beautiful floppy eared red dobie---named Jefe. Jefe is a sweetie---he follows us around while we shop---yes he has
the run of the store, the house, the yard behind, and the town during the day. Just a really mellow dobie.
However, the owner told us that one night a local jerk on drugs climbed over the back wall probably to try to rob the house since the store was still
open.
They were in the store and did not hear the intruder until Jefe went on duty and the owner looked out just in time to see the intruder go back over
the wall faster than humanly possible. Good Dog.
So longlegs, I would not advise trying to surprise Baja Gringo if you are ever in San Quintin. 
Baja Gringo, beautiful Dogs---all of them.

Thanks Diana - Dobermans really are great dogs. They tend to scare a lot of folks simply by their looks but they are one of the more misunderstood
breeds. Dobermans seem to know when to trust and when to attack, largely based on the way they are raised and actually rank very low on the list of
dog breeds that have been cited for complaints of dog bites in the U.S. They just seem to know when, where and who.
Beba is friendly with most people once they walk up to her, especially if Cristina or I am there but she has already developed "that sense". A few
days ago I awoke early in the morning to hear the dogs barking and could hear somebody yelling for help.
I ran outside and found a neighbor from down the road standing on top of my generator housing with Beba standing on her hind legs trying to reach him,
teeth bared and growling. First time I ever saw her like that.
He quickly explained that he was attempting to reach the beach below us in his truck to go clamming and had gotten stuck in the sand. He came looking
for a shovel but didn't want to wake us as it wasn't even 6:00AM yet and that is when he met Beba.
I called her off and the minute she saw I helped him down she was licking his hand. The other two dogs kept barking but Beba understood. It was
amazing to me how quickly she tuned into my response and changed gears.
Kobe has been raised with my daughter and son-in-law, a sheriff deputy up in Kern County. He has been well trained and will make a great addition to
our family. I have an amazing bond with that dog and when I am up at their home he hardly ever leaves my side, insisting on sleeping on the bed with
me.
Thank God he doesn't snore...

Not yet.
We are in the process of (attempting to) buy one more small parcel of property next to us. If we are successful, we will then begin our wall around
the "complex". I didn't want to start it and then have to tear part of it down to add on as it will be all rock, around 48-54 inches high.
I am thinking that with Kobe it might be well to wait to bring him down until the wall is completed. Beba was raised here since a pup and learned
early on to respect the property borders and really doesn't need a fence. Kobe on the other hand is two years old and will probably see no walls as an
invitation to roam. With his looks/size that will likely get him into some kind of trouble.
Now you have me thinking what kind of doorbell will I have to install out on the road at the front gate???
