I wanted a Broholmer, but ended up with a Dobermann/Husky mix that needed to be re-homed. The Broholmer is a heavy dog (not very agile) and the waiting list is long. I the searched for Dobermann mainly because we like the temperament and willingness to cooperate. Even though he has a lot more energy than I hoped for and is still very un-trained, he is a great boy that is coming along nicely.
