Doberman

We love the breed, smart, trainable and lovely to look at. Having standard poodles for the past fourty years we always joke they are like dobermans with hair. The good thing with standards is when they ask what kind of dogs we have, we say poodles. They smile and say that's fine.

Dobermans also seemed to be going through a lot of health issues. They do not have the longest life expectancy. Saying that, find a good breeder that does all of the health testing. They make fantastic, loyal pets.
