| | Big Dog | Hi there everyone!!! Hello dobe owners and hopefully new friends. My name is Eric and my wife and I live in Tampa FL. We are about to get our first doberman hopefully in about 2 months from some breeders here locally. My wife does a lot of outdoor nature photography and is alone quite a bit in some very remote places. We came to the decision of either getting a Doberman or Rottweiler as a new family / companion dog. After researching the choice was clear. We put months into this decision and called breeders from across the state of FL. We met with Chuck and Linda of http://www.acaciakennels.com/ this weekend. To say the least, meeting their dobermans completely put all my reservations about the breed to rest. Certainly when I was sitting down and one of the large males came over to me at eye level was the make it or break it. I rubbed his ears said "I'm your friend..." he took one look at me... cocked his head.. and gave me the sloppiest kiss I have gotten from a dog in years. We simply cannot wait to bring one of these dogs in our home. Thanks for having such a great resource.
Eric |

| You will love having a Dobe in your family.
Be ready for lots of "tongue bandit" moments, yeah! (Stolen sloppy kisses, not my favorite, but I do appreciate the sentiment, heh.)
Welcome, and good luck with the new pup.

| welcome to DT and congrats on your choice of breed and for finding a breeder you are comfortable with. Some health testing was listed but the site isn't up to date, too bad, would have liked to have seen more of what they have! can't imagine living in a house with 7 girls and 3 boys- must be a big house.

| Hi Eric, and welcome from San Diego! You and your wife are going to LOVE being owned by a Doberman. They are the dearest, sweetest, smartest dogs on earth, and they love being part of a family. They love to learn, so sign up for a puppy obedience class, and try to all go together, so you all learn the same stuff. We make up a word or phrase for every cute thing ours do, and whenever they do it, we repeat the word, so they can amaze people with all sorts of goofy things - not just "shake", "speak", "spin", etc... but they know "Gesund heit" (for sneeze), "Garbage truck" (for guarding the periphery of the fence from tyrannosaurus-looking trucks), etc. Can't wait for pictures!
