Lexie is a petite 7 month old black and tan purebred doberman pinscher who currently weighs 46 lbs. She has a docked tail and natural ears.  She is the typical happy, friendly, playful puppy.  She loves her people and loves to give kisses. She gets along great with other dogs. She is already house trained and crate trained and rides perfectly in the car.  She did great for her bath, nail trim and ear cleaning.  She is pretty well behaved for such a young girl but she could definitely benefit from obedience training and continued socialization.  Lexie is on the calm, laid back side although she is still in her puppy chewing phase so she does need some supervision and guidance.  She likes to steal pens and pencils but if she has something of her own to chew on she'll leave your stuff alone.  Lexie is super smart and eager to please making her very trainable.  One example is that all the dogs in her foster home are fed separately.  She's so smart she runs to her crate at mealtime and waits patiently without even having to be told. 

Miss Lexie is so sweet and cuddly with an amazing temperament.  It'll be one lucky family that gets to adopt her.

Lexie came from a high kill shelter on the 28th of December.  More to come as we get to know this young beauty.

**UPDATE**  Lexie went on her first outing to Chuck & Don's.  She was on her best behavior (we won't count the shoplifting episode where she stole a treat at the checkout counter).  Why do they keep such tasty treats at dog level if not for her to sample?  She loved everyone she met and she walked really good with a Gentle Leader considering it's new to her.  Lexie is very social and really enjoys meeting new people and going new places, so important for a young puppy's development.
