Good morning all,
I am in need of some good advice. We are looking at getting a female doberman. We have a 3 year old male that was given to us because the family that had him and his sister from the puppy age, had three children in diapers and he was too much for them. The sister was calmer than Zeus. He has fit in perfectly with our family. We also have a 6 year old shih tzu female. She tolerates him. She is the most calm dog I have ever been around. We have had her since she was 12 weeks old. When we first brought her home I didn't think she could bark. She pretty much makes no noise at all unless she is telling Zeus to leave her alone. We have over an acre fenced with a six foot chain link fence and have been saving to extend our fence to include our adjoining acre. This is planned for later this year. I know a puppy is a tremendous amount of work. I favor rescue by far. Especially, an older rescue. We have found a female puppy (5mo.) that my husband fell in love with the picture online. Her ears are cropped, a must for him but I don't really care either way, perfectly. Our Zeus has natural ears and love the snot out of that boy!!!
I reckon I am looking for someone to tell me not to invest 1000.00 in a dog.
