Why a Doberman?
I am guessing that there are a few people who are curious about whose idea it was to adopt a Doberman, especially given our past dogs were of the Boston Terrier variety.
Did you know that the Doberman breed was specifically created/bred to protect YOU? Not to go get the animal you shot, not to protect your livestock, or your property, and they were not made to hunt. No. Their primary purpose is to keep their person safe.
They are also the 5th ranking dog in intelligence and speed.
They can live up to 13 years.
When I started working from home, I wanted a dog more suited to protecting me while I worked at home. Yes, I have a gun or two that I know how to use, however, my ability to physically RUN is no longer possible due to Ehlers Danlos (hyper mobility) my connective tissue is all stretched out in my knees. My knees can and do partially dislocate from time to time, high impact type things are a guaranteed way to make my knees fail.
So, that is why I wanted the breed I did.
He is very smart, understands way more than we give him credit for and is even accepted by Marshall and Maverick. He LOVES it when he learns something new, he gets so excited! Hunter also LOVES his Grandma Jeanette. He cries when she leaves 🥹.
He was 11 months old when we adopted him in 2021, so he just turned 3. He was a bit of a velociraptor for a while when we first brought him home, but he’s mellowed out a lot now that he knows that this is his forever home and he won’t be gotten rid of ever again.
Now, getting him to walk on a leash in a manner where he’s the sled dog has proven to be challenging 😅

I was never broken
I let go of people
I wanted to keep around forever
To me
That’s become my biggest strength
If you know me
You know my heart is big
And my love is unconditional
If I let you go
It was for reasons
That do not need explanation
Other than it was not me
It was you
