Hi Total Basset Case Readers!

I'm Helene and the dog is Hugo. 

Hugo is an interesting little fellow and by that I mean he is 

Hugo is a 2 and half year old Doberman that came into our lives only a year ago.

It's crazy that he has only been around a year. It feels like our dog-child has always been here.

I love the dog, more than most humans, but my husband's obsession is borderline crazy.

Let me explain.

Is this portrait not ridiculous?! The trainer that we work with took this of him and sent it to us.

Hugo looks terrifying, and he can be. 

He does schutzhund training, which is a form of obedience and...he can bite people on command.

I know he looks terrifying but he wouldn't hurt a fly. He is the sweetest dog I have ever seen. And he is actually less guard dog-ish than we wanted. 

Here he is attacking a "bad guy" (with my husband holding the leash)

He really enjoys eating raw chicken (this is what we feed him), getting back scratches, resting his head on every place imaginable, 

getting into trouble (like eating casserole dishes the day we are having a party) and dressing up, especially as a lobster.

I had no idea I would have a dog like this, I grew up with prissy English Springer Spaniels, but the husband got what he wanted, and I couldn't be happier. Especially since I fell 20 feet rock climbing. I was worried he would jump all over me, but he has been so calm and sweet. 

I have always been a dog lover, but after having Hugo I am Doberman lover.
Hugo graces my blog, Helene in Between all the time, so stop by sometime!
