I am getting insanely jealous that all these other breeds have a thread, and our wonderful, brilliant, loyal, loving babies don't have a thread of their own. So who has a dobie? What is his/her name? Give me all the particulars.
I have one Doberman of my own. Bevo is a 3.5 year old, neutered male, black/tan. He came to me after he was sold to a family that couldn't handle him. His new family decided to have him euthanized because of his behavior problems, but I convinced them that if they turned him over to me that I could "fix" him. They decided that "I knew that this dog is mentally unstable & may kill you", and let me have him. He & I made numerous trips to a behaviorist, have worked with a trainer for over 1.5 years straight, and now he is a great guy. He has worked hard to earn his CD, CDX, CGC, and we are now working for therapy certification. (we have a minor problem but with help form other members here, I am confident that we are on the right path).
I was fostering 2 other dobies, that were being used as a breeding pair by a byb. Animal control took the dogs, and they came to live with me for a little while. As of today they were adopted to an excellent home.
