What's up? I'm finally set on the dog I want. I'm going to get a Doberman and train it to be an attack dog because they're cool and if any of the thugs in my town want to mess with me, I'll have it bite their face off.
Heh, joking. I was looking for the past year, really set on an APBT as a lot of my friends own these dogs or boxers. They've been nothing but loving and if any thing, a "nuisance" about craving too much attention (Not necessarily a nuisance, but my one friend's pit will start off with it's head in your lap and end up with it's whole body there every time you sit down....pit's aren't exactly lap dogs).
The only problem is I recently moved back in with my parents due to problems with the room mates I had not wanting to pay rent and other things, so they've finally caved and let me get a dog, but said NO PITBULLS, which made the decision a lot easier.
The other dog I was looking at was a Doberman. Ever since I've first started looking at APBT I learned of the Shutzhund sport and figured that that would be a way to have fun with the dog (as long as the dog is willing to do that) and would be something worth training for and would be a good expenditure of energy. Well, I found out the other day that one of the guys on my sportbike site is in a Shutzhund club that meets every Saturday about 15 minutes from where I live and I'm riding out with him to check it out.
Now I don't even own a doberman yet, but I'm starting the process of buying the goods needed for ownership and looking around the area for a reputable breeder. I'm not sure how good or bad of a decision this is, but I'm not too set on the parents having a massive amount of titles as long as the dogs are purebred, health tested, and or good temperment. But I guess having a sire that has a few Shutzhund titles won't necesarrily be bad?
Well, I'm off ot work, but if any know of any breeders around NoVa, WV, MD, Souther PA, that they could reccomend, any help would be appreciated.
