Beauceron? Ehhhhh. Doubt it. I'd say dobe/terrier. It would explain the ears, size and tennacity. Chasing - ok, so because of his issues, you can not allow this. He should never, ever be off leash outside of a secure fence. You also are going to want to *discourage* chasing, for now. You may...

Ooof. Yeah. I should have said - the black Kong's! They're more durable. But obviously, not destruction proof :) I don't think anything is doberman proof, tbh lol

Main areas is a good idea. My dogs are 2 1/2 and 4 1/2 (approximately) and they still are not allowed in bedrooms. There's just no reason for them to be in there, for us. Definitely need to make sure everyone knows the rules. Jumping may be cute now, but it won't be cute in a few short months...

Definitely all of what Bri said. Muzzle. This is important. You need to prevent bites. Insurance - start that asap. But I don't know what your options will be with a dog with known issues. Do NOT lie. It will do you no good in the long run. Signs - double edged sword. Look into your local...

No :) as long as it's normal room temp, he will be just fine. If he acts cold (shivering) either bump the thermostat a little or add a space heater (just make sure he can't chew the cord and that it has the tip over switch). Male dominated house here, too! I'm the only girl! The kids learned...

Kaizer is just over 2 now. He still can't have blankets when left alone. Lol. That is the one thing he consistently shreds. They're little sharky vacuums. It will be a learning curve :) but we're here to help! They really are not like other breeds. Which is fun! But will also make you question...

Neutering does not stop the lipstick thing :) that's just a male thing. I absolutely would not neuter until atleast 18 months, at the bare minimum. But you may very well find that there's no need to neuter at all. It's allllllll about training. Yes, no beds, blankets, etc in the crate. Dobes...

Bullysticks are good. No antlers, they are too hard, imo. I'm sure others will have more ideas - my boys aren't big chewers. Things you're going to want/need - collar, leash, tag. Food, dishes (I prefer stainless, dobes tend to be acne prone). Crate (no pad for it for now). Training treats...

Oh. And yeah. I'm all for males. I've owned one female (non-doberman) personally and we had a few growing up. I like my boys. In fact, this is my current situation lol. Dobies are the epitome of Velcro in my experience. My lab (also male) is content laying on the love seat alone. But kaizer...

No rawhides! Please, please, please no rawhides. Dobies are already so prone to obstructions and rawhides are problematic at best.

Insurance - also check that it will cover him, specifically. Some exclude certain breeds/mixes. Many exclude dogs with a known history (which he now has). Nilif training. .... Man. I dunno. There are just so many issues at play here. Going after the GF completely unprovoked. Causing injury to...

This :( if he's otherwise checked out as healthy, this sounds like an unstable dog. One that likely should never have been adopted out, let alone numerous times. (Really, wtf was the shelter thinking?!) Without knowing the dogs history, it gets even more tricky. Was he abused? Poorly bred...

Exactly what I was going to suggest! I love love love the vibrate feature.

It's so awesome to see healthy weight bullies! Especially older ones. So many people turn them into barrels on stumps and it's sad, seeing as how athletic they are naturally.

Kiddo just got lucky. It's private property and they set him up in the hottest blind they have. Just dumb luck that the first antlered deer was this guy! There's a family debate as to whether it's actually a 7 or 8. I say, if it's *that* close and we're not like trying to win any tournament or...

A well bred Corso really should have good workability. They're not as heavy as the other mastiff breeds and meant to be active. But like most breeds, the lineage is going to matter. Just like some labs are lazy couch potatoes and some have stamina that never ends. Plus, they are some wicked...

Cane Corso might be an option? They're the "working" mastiff. And not as mastiff-y as the others, imo.

It's how many "points" or sticky outty parts the antlers have that measure over one inch. This guy has 4 on one side and three on the other. If you look by his left hand - there are three "points" there and another closer to the base of the antler :) ETA - so a decent sized buck. Not an OMG...

I think it *can* be a contributing cause, as neutering stops hormones which can drastically alter many things. But I have no concrete proof or evidence. My 4 year old intact lab barely eats anything and is super high strung (and skinny!). But I think it's definitely possible. Maybe not...

Spring pole :) well, kinda. This is still a little different than a traditional spring pole, but same concept only an actual spring pole has a spring.
