Supragal has it spot on............

 

Fully grown male Dobermann is like the side of a house, at the moment mum has a new Polo and the dog is 12 weeks old.......hes starting to fill out the back seat of that already........

 

Seeing as how he loves to sprint through the mud, a CRV would be a lot easier and can let him just jump in the back without the worry of him being cramped in a back seat of causing a massive mess other than in the boot area.

 

Rosie - I had indeed heard that the room in the boot of the Rav 4 wasnt that "great" thanks for clearing that up. I think shes looking for a 6 month or so old CRV now as she has a thing about not wanting a brand new car :rolleyes: :werd:

 

Dog's growing at a rate though !

I'm after a Doberman as soon as I get a suitable house. Can't decide if I want a dog or bitch though... tough call

 

Yeah, the Rav 4 he'd fit sideways but notbe able to turn round or anything lol Mind you thats just going on memory- she's visiting on Sat so I'll double check

Rosie - Dobermans are great, we have had Sabre for 6 weeks now and hes fantastic. And cute is an understatement !!

 

They say bitches are harder to train and very temperamental, males are great and can be one of the most rewarding and close companion dogs out of all breeds. Very loyal to their owner.

 

Will post a recent pic in a mo.........

Or a Ram- agreed!

 

OMG he's soooo cute! That's pretty much my mind made up. Swaying slightly for a English Bull Mastiff but they do slobber a lot...

 

That's odd, I always heard it was the other way round- that females were more loyal. In general anyway not specifically the Doberman breed. Plus I suppose it depends on it you have them cut or not...

 

Bitches are almost certainly temperamental though lol

 

Plus a bitch can have puppies :D

Very true, the "breeding for puppies" idea was a viable option for me before i saw Sabre, but as soon as i went to choose and he came right up to me, i had to have him. The 3 week wait from seeing him to collecting him was a nightmare !

 

But i always fancied having a male Dobermann just for the "pose" lol plus male dogs have always been in the family. The breeder i bought him from had 8 pups, kept a male for herself, but had a male unsold as well. They strongly advise against having two male dobermanns in the same household as they can rip each other to pieces once they become territorial and rather dominant, but she hasnt sold the last male yet so he got to stay with his brother and his mommy :p

 

Just the risk you take of breeding that you may have some left. But i dont think i would ever be without Sabre now, and the 4x4 is a "must" for when he grows a bit more, hes 16kg at just 14 weeks now, and can grow to an average of 40+ kg and 27 inches high at his front shoulder lol !

 

Think the CRV is going to be the one to go for anyways now. ;)

brother in law just got a new honda crv its the one with twin headlights. looks a nice enough car. its in a sort of purple/blue type colour. he got an auto as he cant drive a manual car.

 

i like the old lwb land cruiser they look smart in white. also some of them big american pickup trucks look the biz. years ago i raced a big chevy 7.3l truck at dragstrip when my supra was stock. over 1/8th of a mile i left it for dead. looked a beast of a pick up truck. was chatting to guy too. 7.3 liter :eek:

 

with honda you getting quality car.

Rav4 from the selection but read that Legacy is a good 4x car

 

but if want to really go off-road a classic range rover or early discovery with 2in. suspension lift, diff/steering/tank protection, mud tyres, winch, etc - NOT one of the 'Sainsbury shuttles' X5, M class, Pajero, Landcruiser

 

real 4x4 or how much road space to take up ? you can tell I sit on the fence on this point eh? :p
