Hi all,
I'm new to Doberman talk. I've had Doberman's in the past, but am currently without a dog after my female was put down at 10 y.o due to cancer.
I have actively been seeking a European Dobermann breeder in the Midwest (I live in St. Louis), but have had no luck. I have contacted the Missouri Doberman Club on facebook, as well as the Schutzhund Club of Missouri with no recommendations coming from them. I am seeking a companion dog. I will not be competing in anything, nor will I be breeding. Before anyone asks, yes I want a European Dobermann. I prefer the temperament and the drive. Yes, I also like the thicker look of the dog, and yes, I am aware that some American Dobies are thicker boned. I would prefer a Midwest breeder due to my location, so I can build a relationship, but I am willing to drive long long distances for the right breeder.
Do you know anyone? I am in the mist of moving to a house with ample backyard space, and I work from home. The dog, with myself, will be going to obedience classes as well as be socialized with dogs, cats, loud noises, vehicles, etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jared
