Yes, they are beautiful dogs. I miss not having one anymore. When my last two dobies passed away in 2021, my children convinced me if I was going to get another dog, to make it a small one - one that I could carry since I’m getting old. So I did - got a rescue cockapoo. Lots of energy, makes me laugh a lot and very intelligent BUT because of his past history, he is afraid of dogs(any size), small kids and loud noises.
