Please read this, even if you are not looking for a dog. This boy needs help!
My breeder called me today to see if I knew of anyone that would be interested in a black/rust, male neutered, 4 year old Doberman. He is free to a good home who has experience with dogs.
The family that bought him from a breeder had 2 young kids since they adopted him, and since they've had the kids, they haven't paid much attention to the poor dog. He was never taught how to behave around children since his owners didn't work with him. He is a very good, happy-go-lucky dog, but is uncomfortable around small kids because of the owner's neglect.
The owners had a birthday party for the kids and for some reason, didn't bother to put the dog away. So of course there are lots of young kids running around and screaming. Even the guests at the party could tell the dog looked uncomfortable. A kid came running up to the dog, and he bit him.
The mrs owner wouldn't allow the dog back into their home and wanted him euthanized straight away. The mr owner called the breeder to see if she could find him another home instead of having him euthanized.
This dog needs an owner who understands dog behavior, and knows that the fault is not his, but his previous owners'.
If you know anyone that may be interested in him, please PM me or reply to this thread. I told the breeder that I was a member of this forum where most of the people here are Dobe lovers and this may be a good place to find someone who understands.
