Awe! Handsome guy. I am a dog lover also. We have a Lab mix.
Since ya'll are talking about dogs...We had to put our Rhodesian Ridgeback/Doberman mix to rest after 13 years. This dog was my baby...and I was heart broken...at any rate the hubby insisted on getting another dog. Me, I was fine with never having another dog as I didn't want to go through the heartbreak again.
So...long story short. We went to the different shelters in the area and put our name in to be called when a Doberman or Doberman mix puppy became available. Months later...we became dog parents of a very small doberman mix. We took the pup to the vets to get a wellness check up after we brought him home and the vet mentioned we could have a DNA test done through the mail to determine what he was mixed with. Well about a month later we got the results...the dog is an Akita, Boxer, Shepherd, Whippet and Pug mix. Not a trace of Doberman in him!! True story. P.S. The dog is now 2 years old and a P.I.T.A. Argh!!
