Hello everybody.
Being a long time Rottweiler owners ( we lost our last 2, within 32 days of each other, due to lymphoma and a disc that protruded the spinal cord at age 5) we felt it may be time for a change. Me and my wife have always loved the Doberman, but have never owned one or two...or three.
Recently we purchased 2 Dobies, black and rust, brother and sister ( we have a habit of buying siblings
), and we find ourselves entering a whole new world with a new breed.
We were attracted to the Dobie due to their high intellectual abilities, loyality and fantasic looks.
Living in a very rural setting, how do Dobies handle "farm life"? We have 32 acres of private forest, trailed and over 200 acres of field to run (all fenced), albiet, we prefer not to let our animals out of sight.
We decieded to have his ears cropped, and let hers go natural, so any pointers with post surgery taping/posting would be great as well.
I look forward to posting on here and getting to know some local people and getting sound advice.
