Well, I think it's time I (officially) introduce the newest addition to our pack.
Bran Stark, the 9 month old brown and rust European Dobermann!
(7 months old in the pic)
My partner adopted him, his previous owners were starving him and his 8 siblings to death...
They came in to the rescue looking like skeletons, and with huge aggression issues between them. They'd kill one another given the chance.
We drove 4 hours to pick him up, he was the sweetest one of them all, and barely 5 months old.
He's been (and still is) a challenge, I've been the one training him mostly, and he's a very difficult pup, with a very strong will! But is such a sweetheart too, loves kisses and cuddles, he'll literally sit on your lap, like a small lap dog!.
I was afraid thinking Draco wouldn't accept him, due to his low tolerance to puppies and his jealousy for attention.
But it's safe to say, that they've become best friends, maybe even brothers! They play all day, they take care of each other (Draco has saved Bran from dog attacks multiple times before) and share their food and toys. They don't live together, which also helps. Draco is very laid back with dogs he considers from his inner circle, and there hasn't been a single time they've shwon aggression towards each other. I'm very aware of Doberman's and SSA, so I'm prepared if that ever happens with these two! But for now, we are loving Bran, watching him grow (he's taller than Draco already!!!) and enjoy life with his brother and us, after having almost died to human abuse.
Here's a few more pics of him and Draco!
When he arrived at home! (5 months)
He's taller than Draco, but much leaner than him at his age, sitting at 66lbs. He seems to have more of a slender and thinner build, not as blocky and with bigger "bones" as Draco, he's got legs for days!. We have no background of him sadly, only had a glimpse of his parents in a video, both brown euro dobies; so no health background...
