WE HAVE ALWAYS LOVED AND HAD DIFFERENT BREEDS OF DOGS FROM MIXED BREEDS TO GERMAN SHEPHERDS.BUT 3 MONTHS AFTER KATRINA HAD COME FOR A VISIT I HAD FOUND A MALE DOBIE LOST AND CONFUSED ON I 10 IN MOBILE HE MAY HAD BEEN 35 TO 40 POUNDS, WITH BLOODY PADS ON HIS TREMBLING LEGS. HE WAS LOST FROM HIS HOME AND OUT OF SORTS.ANY WAY AFTER A COUPLE HOURS OF ALMOST GETTING BOTH HIM AND I RAN OVER I FINALLY GOT HIM TO COME TO ME . FROM THERE I ALMOST TOOK HIM TO THE SPCA INSTEAD I WENT TO A VET FOR HELP. AND BROUGHT HIM HOME THAT SAME EVENING.I HAD HIM FOR 2 YEARS I CALLED HIM MAGNUM BECAUSE HE TURNED OUT TO BE A REAL PISTOL HE FINALLY PASSED A YEAR AND A HALF AGO THATS WHEN I REALIZED WHAT THIS BREED MENT TO ME ,AND DECIDED THAT I WOULD LIKE OTHERS TO BE ABLE TO HAVE SUCH A FINE LOYAL AND DEVOTED DOG SO I BOUGHT A FEMALE AND A MALE FROM KIMBERTAL KENNELS IN PA. AND AT THIS TIME HAVE HAVE 4 FEMALES AND 1 MALE
