1) Will this be your first dog? If not, what experience do you have owning/training dogs?
- No! I grew up with a rescue mutt and chihuahua. I didn’t train them myself.
- My family rescued the two dogs we had. No experience with either. Looking into a breeder this time around.
- I’m a solo girl in NYC - ideally a protective dog that is very smart and receptive to training, but can also relax from time to time without eating my couch or shoes. Lol.
- DOBERMAN (protective, smart, trainable) or BERNEDOODLE (cuddly, sweet, I think smart)
- training with heel off leash, retrieval, etc. I’d send to a school and learn how to reinforce the training on my own. Ideally I’d like a pretty high level of training.
- No competition, but I’d like to the dog to be okay in crowded areas with distraction and still be able to adhere to commands.
7) How long do you want to devote to training, playing with, or otherwise interacting with your dog each day?
- 3-4 hours (walking, socializing) or more. I’m around most of the day and will be with the dog.
- 2-4 hours. I walk regularly (i’m around the home most of the day, so can be out with the dog). I would run errands with my dog and I also live near multiple dog parks and dog runs
- Yes!
10) What size dog are you looking for?
- Large >80lbs
- I’m a pretty clean person, so I think it’ll be a little tougher at first but will adjust. Barking would be harder for me as I live in a building
- Very important. I’m not sure how often I’d do it though I’d like the option
13) Do you want a snuggly dog or one that prefers some personal space?
- a little snuggly and loving, but also a working dog
- eager to please
- I would expect the dog to be at the door, but not jump on guests
- how aggressive?! Lol
- a lot of barking (I live in a building)
18) How often and how long will the dog be left alone?
- usually not during the day (I’d take him with me), but at night possibly for a few hours if I go to dinner. I can arrange a walker
- no one else in the house, just me!
- no
- no
- no

24) What is the average temperature of a typical summer and winter day where you live?
- summer 80s F / winter 20s F
25) Please provide any additional information you feel may be relevant.
- I’ve always leaned toward a Doberman for safety purposes. I’m 5’6/125 lbs and often walk around at night or during the day in nyc, which can be scary at times. I recently sat next to a very well trained service bernedoodle and began to consider it in my search (plus no shedding!). I’m just not sure if I’ll feel “protected” enough or like I have
