Hi, we just added a five-month old male doberman to our family today, and we are all in love. He is such a fabulous dog, and has been adjusting to his new home very well. His name is Viggo, and he is great with my two daughters, ages 3 1/2 and 16 months. He is already responding to 'sit' commands from my older daughter.
His owner/breeder had planned on keeping him to show him, but his testicals didn't drop, so she decided to give him up. She truly loved this dog and it really shows. And the poor woman had such a hard time saying goodbye, which only assures me that he came from a good home.
We will be starting basic obedience training in a couple of weeks, but in the meantime, if anyone has any advice to give a new dobe owner, I am all ears.
Anyway, it's been a long and exciting day. I just wanted to introduce myself.
