My family and I are planning to add a Doberman to our crew sometime in the future (at least a year or two from now when we're in a financially better place) and I know it's never too early to start research, so here I am!

A little about me...my name is Chrissy. I'm 31 years old and live in the foothills of NC with my hubby, our two skin kids who are 13 and 11, a 6 year old chihuahua named Taco, and an 8 month old long-haired kitty named Dragon, aka Kitty Schmoo. My daughter, the 13 year old, has her heart set on a Doberman and after doing some initial research on the breed I decided that a female would be a pretty good fit for us. I'm excited to get to know the folks here and get feedback and advice along the way

Welcome!!

Welcome! It's great to do your research first. There are so many threads on here about how to find a good breeder and what to expect from your puppy. You might also want to consider a rescue dog. There are lots of great Dobermans looking for good homes.

Thanks for the warm welcome I recognize at least one of you guys from another board I frequent :wavey:

Lillie's Mom ~ I know what you mean. Unfortunately there aren't a lot of folks around here that put too much thought into bringing home a dog or take it as seriously as they should.
