Well, long story short, had a doberman and had 3 sweaters given to me, and they where great cause the cold weather really got to her. But, she got old and passed away, and i just got a new doberman, but she's not as big as my other and the sweaters don't fit. She is about a year old and resued from animal shelter so she's probably full grown now. So just looking for a free crochet pattern for a sweater for her. I've searched to no avail, and thought maybe somebody out there has one. Thanks in advance.

This site for free patterns, says there are patterns from Chihuahua to great Dane> http://crochet.about.com/od/petpatterns/tp/dogfashions.htm

It has a note: "Instructions are written for size Small with sizes Medium, Large, and Extra- Large in parentheses. Instructions will be easier to read if you circle all the numbers pertaining to your dog's size."

Most of the "bad" things you have seen or heard about Dobermans is untrue. Because the breed is often depicted in TV and movies as an aggressive guard dog, people just assume that all Dobermans have those charicterists. The main reason a Doberman is good for protection is because a lot of people are afraid of them, not because they are really dangerous. Like ANY breed, a Doberman will usually protect its home, but they are not naturally viscous of aggressive. From the time you put your new Doberman in the car with you and head home, its personality begins to change and adapt to its new situation. Some Dobermans are quiet and reserved for a few days in their new home while they patiently wait to see what the routine is going to be. Others become boisterous and excitable now that they have a family all to themselves. And then there are those who really change very little and seem to just go with the flow. If your Doberman seems reserved or shy or uncertain, make sure it has a crate that is in a room or location in your home that is quiet and private. Introduce the dog to its crate by giving it a treat and talking calmly then praising it when it goes inside the crate. For the first few times of introducing it to its crate, you might not bother shutting the door. You want your new dog’s initial exposure to its crate to be a positive one. If your dog is boisterous and overly excited, do the same thing by introducing it to its crate and have it go in and out several times—each time offering it a treat and moderate praise. And don’t be overly concerned if once in its crate, it lets you know in no uncertain terms that it doesn’t like it there. Dobermans are nick-named "Velcro-dogs" because they tend to stick to their people. Some Dobermans start to show this tendency within minutes of meeting their new owners, others take several days or weeks. Regardless of how much or how little your dog seems to enjoy your company at first, your dog needs plenty of contact with you to become a happy, well-adjusted member of your family. Take time to play with and train your Doberman, to go for walks, and to sit in quiet companionship. While you may have a hard time imagining that your boisterous new Doberman would enjoy curling up with you to watch a movie and share a bowl of popcorn, a good workout can transform him into a calm companion, at least for a few hours.

I think it's actually pinscher.
