Since I started this thread, some things for us have changed. We have been to dog shows and done some research including insurance companys. We really loved our Dobermans and have put off getting a puppy after our last one passed on. Dobies are wondeful animals. One of the smartest breeds. But hey have a lot of health issues and often die too young. Cardio took Murphy at 5 years old. Our new puppy who we pick up in a few weeks is a German Pinscher. They stand about 20" tall so are like a compact Dobie. They share no DNA with the Min Pin. Perfect travel size, and not on any list. They were one of the breeds Mr. Doberman used when mixing certain breeds to develope the Doberman Pinscher. Can't wait to bring him home. The picture is of the puppys mom. His dad won @ at the Wesrminster Dog Show.
