We bought a doberman in 2000, her name was Zara and she was the most beautiful puppy ever. She became like a child in the family and was adored by everyone, when I was pregnant she was very protective of me and wouldn't leave my side. When my little girl was born she became very protective of her and although when we ever took her for a walk she would pull the arms off us, when my three year old took her she would wlk as nice as anything and walk right at her side.

I was actually the one who rang up about the puppies and as my hubby wanted a female, there weren?t any left. The lady selling ...

My one and only love of dogs has to be the Dobe. This very misunderstood and distrusted breed, in my opinion, makes one of the best family pets around. I rehomed two Dobe pups from a local dog rescue centre at 6 weeks old. I read up on them and thought I knew what it was all about. Boy, was I in for a suprise! They will chew anything, eat anything and bite anything so they need 24/7/365 attention. When I say 24/7/365 I mean it. They eat anything and as much as you put in front of them as often as you want. You will NEVER run these dogs into the ground they will always come back for more. You have to understand the psychology of Dobes before deciding on ...
