I like so many different breeds, it's amazing that I only have four dogs. LOL. I love my Lab. She's been a terrific dog and super with the kids, so trustworthy and laid back. She's a very smart dog and so ready to learn something new.

I love my little Chihuahuas, so perky, playful and friendly. I love their demur size, although of course one has to be careful. But they also learn to watch out and get out of the way of your feet. We just got use to eachother and it's 2nd nature to me to be cautious when moving around or closing a door behind me. I don't even think about it, but know that I am watching. Funny how that works. But they're so nice to snuggle up with on the couch for TV and they're so very loyal and "into" Mom. They just live to please. And I love how they match my mood to a T.....very, very intuned with me. They can be goof balls one second and settle down on my lap the very next second if I so desire. For a toy breed, (which I never was into before) they're great....Mine aren't hyper either. I like that.

For the larger size dogs, I think now, after having this Doberman, that that would have to be my first choice from now to eternity. I've never seen a more alert, intelligent, in tune kind of dog. This boy is VELCRO, by my side most all the time. He watches me and looks like he's making sure I'm all right. If I sniff my nose, he looks intently at me. If I cough, it's like...."are you OK?" He has the most expressive face.

He seems to know what I mean at times when I can't figure how he could possibly know what I mean. It's almost eerie sometimes. He's my real, true partner, ready and willing to learn anything new that I ask him. He watches me like a hawk. And when anything untoward happens around here, he is on his feet ready to kill it. Being just a year old, he's not yet quite sure what he's suppose to do exactly, but he knows he's suppose to do something about it. LOL. It's usually an animal noise in the woods, but there was a "bad guy" incident twice and he showed his serious protective nature.

So, I love that alert, energetic, incredibly atheletic breed. I love his super affectionate, in your face nature and his regal beauty. If I could only have one dog, I suppose it would have to be a Doberman.
