A friend came by to fix my van last week. He's quite talented. Along with his skills as a mechanic, he's quite a musician, owns several martial arts schools and he and his wife are ordained ministers with a wonderful congregation. It's his capacity as a minister that comes into play here.
We talked about lots of things and then he mentioned parishioners who bred dogs and suggested that I should get one as a service animal. I agreed that it would be a good idea, "someday." A few days later the breeder contacted me and two days later, we were off for Camp Verde to look at puppies.
There I met Pearl, a five-week old Doberman Pinscher. She's going to be HUGE! Truly, the Baker's breed supersized Dobies. Pearl will be as big or bigger than most male Dobies you see. We expect her to be 26 - 28" at the shoulder and 80 - 90 pounds. Check out the Baker's dogs here www.bigdobermans.com
She has a lot of growing to do to fit into that vest, both in terms of size and skills. I have a feeling that I have a lot of growing to do too. I think we'll be teaching each other and I'm eager to see what comes of this relationship.
