Eight years ago we adopted a Doberman. We will never get another breed: Smart, affectionate, protective, loves to play. People are intimated by their look, so usually they stay clear. Ours is 65 ibs, which is small for a Dobie, but I would not one that was much bigger.

Doberman or bull terrier. Can’t go wrong

My girl dropped dead in November and in January, my boy was diagnosed with osteosarcoma.

We are beggaring ourselves to get him the best treatment available and keep him here as long as possible.

Anyone who would have a heart to donate to his bills, please see my profile page.

You know the breed so you know how I’m feeling right now.

They have been my heart, my soul and my reason for living, ever since my first one, a stray, stopped my pedo uncle from ever touching me again.

I owe the breed a debt I can never repay.

I have had them for so many years [1975] that I don’t even know how to be me without one but now I am facing that gutpunching prospect much sooner than I ever imagined.

He’s not even 5 yet and this is NOT right or fair.

Your Dobe is stunning, btw.
