As your current dog is only 6 months old, you might research a bit on bringing another puppy in right now. Most reputable breeders will actually not sell you a puppy until your current one is at least 12 months old.

If a person has the time, resources, love to give and experience, what problem is there in getting a second puppy? I don't see any problems with this and never have.

RedFawn, I can't help but notice the hostile undertones in most of your posts. Is there a reason for this? Have you had a bad experience you would be willing to share with me? I have done a significant amount of research on the doberman breed and feel competent in answering any questions that may come my way. To answer your question, I do not plan on neutering Jaxon. I also have a 16 yr old male miniature daschund (Nugget), a 7 yr. old male black lab(Rastus), and a 2 yr. old female black lab(Lupin), none of whom, except for the female, have been neutered. I do plan on getting another male doberman. All my dogs are raised in a loving and caring environment, and are well socialized and trained. I firmly believe that genetics only goes so far. It is the quality of the dogs life that will ultimately determine its demeanor.

Well, I have no problem with someone having two puppies in the right situation, but given your situation, I think you are asking for trouble.

My mentor at the firm I am interning at has two intact male dobies, ages 3 and 5, and has had no issues whatsoever.

And that doesn't mean that he won't have a problem anytime in the future.
