At our show over the weekend we were connected with two others that were together showing their Dobes. One with 30 years experience and the other showing her 1 year old male for the first time. We talked and found out Higgins is her first Dobe AND first dog! Wow they are doing GREAT for a first timer! Higgins is partially related to Ripley. His sire was co-owned by our breeder.
Apparently... Higgins lOvEs puppies and was dying to play with her all day at the show but couldnt play there or it'd get too rowdy. He kept peeking at her in her kennel and she was like "woah, that's a big dog looking in at me". Well after the show we were invited to hang out later and they finally got to play! They were both in heaven!! I wish I caught the very first minute of them meeting and playing. They hit it off immediately... First thing they did was do about 10 play bows back to back at each other, scooting closer and closer with each play bow. It was hilarious. She's gonna be getting a female dobe puppy soon so she was tickled at how well Higgins was being gentle with Ripley.

Good thing we don't live in an apartment. Couldnt imagine staying friends with any neighbors below. 
Yes, you should get another. Can't get any worse, can it? You been through it once.
