Superior Dobermans Man of War de Britton TKN ATTS

Max came to our family in November of 2012 for a "vacation" from his former owners. On February 22, 2016, Max (having already owned our hearts), became ours in name as well, and his AKC Registration was officially transferred to us.

Max was fondly known as our "Marshmallow Man".  He was a lover, and quickly became the favorite of ALL the ladies, human and canine.  While our Max was most definitely same-sex aggressive and had little to NO patience with any other canines, his one true love was his human family. Laid back, mellow, low drive…..until he felt the need to defend his humans and home! Max could often be found either somewhere in our daughter's room, or outside patrolling our fenced-in yard, chasing butterflies, or rolling in the grass! With his solid chest, muscular frame, angular snout and proud gait, he made a very intimidating first impression.  BUT he was all heart and returned any love and affection he was given. A TRUE Velco-Dobie and a magnificent example of the true heart and devotion this breed has for its family! Max, at 7-1/2 years old, took AND passed his ATTS temperament test on July 9th, 2017! 

On September 2nd, 2018, we lost our beloved Max due to bloat.  We made the VERY difficult decision to send him over the rainbow bridge rather than to take the risks and uncertainties of surgery/recovery. Bloat is a horrible disease that, while not COMMON in our breed, is not unheard of, and at the age of 8-1/2 years old caused to much pain and suffering for Max for us to not let him go.  He will be forever mourned and missed but more importantly forever loved. We will cherish the time we got to spend with him, and the gift of his incredible love he bestowed upon us.
