I have been tentatively looking around for a Doberman pup so I will have a big dog around when Susie goes in hopefully not a long while yet. When we went to our Agility trial last weekend which is about a five hour drive, there just happened to be a Doberman female puppy not far from where the trial was. If I had not been going to the trial, I doubt I would have considered it.
Anyway I came home with a brown and tan Doberman pup, 11 weeks old. She has settled in really well with my other dogs. She is sleeping in the crate at night, a little noisy the first night but better last night. I took her out for a pee break at 1 am and let her settle back in the crate when she came back in, then let her back out for a little while while I had a cup of tea.
She is going back in for the rest of the night now.
