I knew what I wanted in a dog and researched breeds until I found one that by all accounts was the closest fit to what I wanted. I like my dogs, they're needy, energetic but not the kind that needs a billion hours a day, a few short sprints will usually tire them out (because they are FAST sprinters, not distance dogs), protective, short haired, clean and intelligent. I knew I didn't want or need a terrier, gundog, guardian or anything else so it was pretty much down to the few "non sporting" breeds and a few working breeds. In the end it was between pibble, dalmatian and doberman but the dobie is the best fit by far (I also like animal social dogs so the possibility of having a pittie without that trait was a tie breaker for me). NMFD.... stay away from craigslist dobies. They're one of the breeds that something can go BADLY wrong with a crappy dog It's why I prefer adult rescues to puppies. You never really know how a puppy will end up... adults are safer. Plus I've always heard about dobermans from my mom and dad who had them before I was born and my cousin (now grandfather) has an amazing female that I adore so that was pretty much the clincher lol. She's why I got a fawn female since my grandfather wouldn't let me have her lol.
