Roger is a lot of Doberman wrapped in a small package at just more than 50 pounds. Roger is a truly fine dog we believe to be about 3 years old. He is appropriately cautious with strangers, but once he has checked a new person out, they are his great friend. Expect to be leaned on, nuzzled and treated with great affection. Roger is perfectly content to spend 15 to 20 minutes each time just snuggling up to a friend. Roger is, shall we say, streamlined. Somewhere along his journey, this once stray boy lost both ears. We do not know if it is the result of a proper ear crop gone wrong, or an improper attempt by someone to give him what some consider a military crop. Either way, he is actually quite affectionate and kind. Look into his eyes and heart and you will see he is a sensitive, gentle soul. Someone just has to look beyond those terrible ears. He gets along well with other dogs and children, loves long walks and behaves quite well. A typical Doberman, he can be playful, but is also mellow and laid back with his people. Be warned, though, he cannot hold his licker! Roger is neutered, up-to-date on all shots and has a microchip. This fine young black and tan male is also docked and ready to join your family today.
