Hello, well I am new and probably this is the first place people end up when looking. My family and I have very comfortably decided that a Dobe is our new addition and I would be very appreciative of finding a REPUTABLE breeder in our area or anywhere for that matter. I know there are all kind of breeder lists out there however in my past experiences and much forum surfing it really doesnt mean much. I have already gone through extreme heartbreak and expense with a previous Great Dane which came from a "listed breeder" which was very sickly from a young age, yes I understand there are of course no guarantees with anything ( especially health ) however the more work I put into my "search" I am positive the more I will get from it.
I have spent countless hours researching breeders online ( mostly google and club related links ) and always seem to find something which puts up a red flag. I had initially found this site by researching said breeders and usually only negative things were reported from the ones I thought looked good ? Thus I am putting my faith in the place where people truly care for the breed and betterment of the Dobe.
We are looking for Family/Companion dog. Health and Temperament are of the utmost concern. I would absolutely love the opportunity to participate in the Schutzhund trials if she is capable, although any interaction which would keep us all stimulated are welcomed. I am not intending to offend anyone however esthetically I find that I like the shape and physique of the Euro lines a little better although it isnt a must by any means. I keep referring to "she" as we have a 3yo male boxer and I am well aware of the dangers and pitfalls of male-male aggression especially with those two breeds.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and any info is truly appreciated, I didnt mean for this to be long winded however thought I would try to articulate as much info as I could.
Cheers
Tenz
