Just joined the forum. Looking forward to learning as much as I can about the Dobe before I add one to the family in 2019. I'm interested in obedience training and agility. I am a former owner of a Boxer who died of Cancer after having as part of the family for 8 yrs since he was 9 weeks. I am married, empty nester, and have 2 children/young men that are Juniors in College. I am a marathoner and triathlete and would be interested in having a Dobe to accompany me in my activities at the appropriate time.
