Hello everyone! What a cool Forum. :cool2:
My wife and I have decided it's about time to start our family. We're starting with the 4 legged kind first before we have kids. We want both a cat and a dog and we'll probably be getting a kitten this week. The plan is that we get the kitten first and then a few months later get a puppy. This way the kitten has some confidence when the pup arrives. I've always loved Dobes (my uncle had one) and I think they're probably the perfect dog for my wife and me. We want a great companion first and foremost. We also want a dog that's protective (I travel sometimes for work and I want a dog that will protect the family while I'm gone... that's why we're not going with a Labrador.) Also, we want the dog to be kid and cat friendly, and a light shedder and drooler.
Do you guys think we're on the right track with a Dobe?
We're in the SF Bay area. Any recommendations where to get one? We don't need a 100% purebred showdog (and aren't really wanting to spend $1500)... a mostly-dobe would be just great. We do want a male and we want a puppy.
Thanks!
