A 'rather strange' neighbour of ours has acquired a very beautiful Dobermann. He has had her a couple of months and she is starting to show signs of deterioration in condition and weight loss. We have been told that he would like to 'sell' her but that is unconfirmed with the owner at present.
However, almost 18 months ago he brought us a Rottweiler which we had been asking him to reliquish for months, and she was almost at death's door when he delivered her in his old truck as she was too damaged and weak to walk - with much effort we returned her to some health and quality of life before making the decision to euthanise her at the end of July.
After he allowed us to take over and care for Peggy (the Rottie), he got a white Pitbull type dog of which he seems quite fond and it looks fed and healthy.
We cannot add another large bitch to the 10 dogs we already have here but I am loathed to see this gorgeous dog (the Dobermann) deteriorate as we drive past her every time we leave home. She appears to be quite a 'gentle giant' but I have no real idea of her temperament. What to do? I just don't know, any recommendations/ suggestions?
