Are you demanding one of those big checks? (2.5 feet by 5 feet)? That could be the problem.
Ella is too fat to run. Its sad.

First off, Dobermans were not bred to attack people, they were bred to guard and protect. While the pitbull breed is spiraling out of control due to backyard breeders, Dobermans have flourished as family dogs in the last 10 years due to responsible breeding.
There's a reason you don't see the thugs/gangsters/michael vick types using dobermans in dog fighting, they're just not bred for attacking.
I have run multiple 5k's with my dog at some of the more pet friendly 5ks. There's a local "Tails & Trails" 5k where everyone is encouraged to bring their pets. No prize money offered, but I regularly run him in races. He doesn't cut the courses, nor does he veer off to even go to the bathroom. Dobermans are loyal to their owners and mine refuses to be more than 5-10 feet away from me during our runs. Dont know why people think this is a troll thread as I haven't even contacted the Race Director to see about retreiving the money. Just thought i'd ask here first to see if it's a dick move.
Consensus seems to be that I should not ask for the money, which I won't. I will be bringing him to Gasparilla though (not officially entering him), so look for the dude with the 100lb doberman barreling down Bayshore Drive!

Agreed, 6/10.
I have zero tolerance for dogs off leashes. The world does not revolve around you and your dog.

Doesn't 'barreling' mean moving fast?
Your "dog" huh? Don't you mean your girlfriend???
The reason your dog gets no prize money is because it's a dog!!! I think for the next NYC Marathon I'm gonna enter a fleet of horses so I can collect all the top place prizes and awards for shattering the world and course records.
he doesnt get prize money because he has 4 legs...but would a human get prize money if they ran on all 4s
I had the best trained most obedient dog and he still got excited/startled by something and bit the neighbor. You always have to remember it is a animal and can always act unpredictably.
Was the dog wearing headphones?

Dobermans were developed by the Nazis, that's why they cut off their ears and their tails. I beat your dog doesn't have it's ears and tails, which shows what a dangerous dog you have.
Well my pit has it's ears and tail. It sleeps with the baby and has only bit it a couple of times, so it's perfectly safe. And he only attacks runners when they make some kind of movement, or have a weird expression on their faces.
Otherwise he's very gentle and walks with me everywhere.
So don't give me that stuff about your dog being safer than mine! I think this guy is trolling.
What the Hell were you trying to prove? If I was the race director, I wouldn't pay your dog a dime. I wouldn't pay you either for trying to pull this stupid stunt. If I was on your state USATF board, I would have you banned for this!

Funny stuff
One time I entered my ball sack in a 5k, as well as the rest of my body. It beat me by a millisecond, but the director wouldn't pay him. He was going to use that cash for some new windbriefs, since winter was coming on. I definitely feel you brother, thats some bs about your dog.
USATF rules prohibit strollers, baby-joggers, dogs, and headphones.
Eot!
A race with a $100 dollar prize was won in 16:xx? Nope. Some one somewhere will come out of the wood-work for a $100 dollars.
Yeah obviously under normal circumstances he shouldn't get the money but he shouldn't have had to pay for registration either..
If I knew dogs were eligible for prize money (other than fastest dog), I wouldn't enter the race.
The dog is property. The dog can't place in a race nor can it buy a house or receive a driver's license.
