A new journey begins!
For many months I have been stalking rescue groups and have applied for quite a few Dobermans with no success. Most had health or behaviour issues that made them unsuitable for my lifestyle and the few that would have been fine were in high demand and were homed elsewhere...
I believe this is what is currently being done in Australia. Here they seem to be using Rottweilers and German Shepherds that are chosen for soundness, free from genetic disease and stable temperament. I wish I was a lot younger as I could really get on board with this.
