I want a Doberman for my service dog. They have a bad reputation, but the truth is a well-bred doberman is an intelligent, easily trainable, low fuzz dog. (I need a low fuzz dog. Seriously. Scroll down and look at the pictures of my Elkhound. My husband and I make jokes that she procreates by making fuzz balls and there are actually furbabies all over our house.) But, I digress, the doberman is a beautiful dog. I absolutely love them. All of the ones I have met have made excellent impressions on me. I love the idea that I can go running with my dog and then come home and cuddle with them on the couch.
I had originally looked into getting a golden retriever or a German shepherd. They both have too much fur. I think that German shepherds are too high strung anyway. I've never met one that wasn't crazy. Crazy can be fun, but they are a little too much for me. The golden retriever is too generic for me too. I need a dog that matches my personality.
Before the onset of my bipolar disorder I was confident, happy go lucky, ready for anything and would try anything. After, I became frightened, jumpy, confused, I had no drive. I need a dog that matches what I'm supposed to be. I was changed, but I can change some things back. I need a dog that reflects that and I think that the doberman pincher does that for me. They are confident, capable, intelligent animals that can also lay back and just enjoy the day. I love that, I want more of that in my life.
