Here's what the humans have to say about me:
I tell myself every time we get a doberman that I CANNOT get attached, but Jax made that completely and entirely impossible. While he was initially shy, and hesitant with all of us, understandably; he warmed right up in NO time with some treats, sweet-talking, and loving. Sooner or later, he was following all of us around like a shadow, and if he'd venture off, and we'd call him over, he'd do the happiest of mouth snappies, wiggling his tiny tail. He is just a DOLL despite all that he's gone through; from being brought up from TX after being found as a stray, with both of his ears a failed attempt at cropping & posting, one of them likely went necrotic and was never cared for, so he's missing a majority of one ear, is still pretty underweight, and is working his way back to full-health. & in doing so, he's been flourishing in his foster home, where he's loved on, and truly cared for. Jax knows basic obedience commands, walks on the leash pretty well, and is seemingly house-broken on a good schedule. He gets along well with other dogs, and while most other dogs try to appease him due to his sheer size, he also appeases dogs that are similar in size to him, so he's very dog social! He met a few kids at our event, and he did wonderful; and while we haven't cat tested him, we believe he's more of an 'out of sight out of mind' type of guy. I seriously cannot get enough of him! At just about a year old, Jax weighs in around 68 pounds, and he should easily be 80 or so. We believe he will do great in most well-versed Doberman homes!
