Meet Sable — a 4 year old, 47 lb Doberman/Hound mix with a joyful spirit, a big heart, and a serious love for stuffies. Quick Facts: Name: Sable Breed: Doberman/Hound Mix Age: 4 years old Weight: 47 lbs. House-Trained: Yes Crate-Trained: Not needed Good with Dogs: Yes Good with Cats: No Good with Kids: Yes, best with kids who can handle jumpiness Energy Level: High (playful) Fence Required: Yes About Sable’s Breed: Our best guess is that Sable is a mixed breed of Doberman/Hound mixed breed. Doberman–Hound mixes often blend the athleticism and loyalty of a Doberman with the curiosity and scent‑driven instincts of a Hound, creating a dog who is smart, energetic, and deeply connected to their people. They tend to be alert, playful, and eager to explore, with a mix of working‑dog focus and hound‑dog wanderlust that makes them both engaging and entertaining companions. An ideal home for this mix is one that offers consistent exercise, mental stimulation, and positive training, along with plenty of time spent with their humans. A fenced yard or regular leashed adventures helps satisfy their need to run and sniff, while structure and companionship help them thrive emotionally. With the right balance of activity and affection, they become incredibly loyal, loving family dogs. What to Love about Sable: This sweet girl tries to collect every plush toy in the house, but she’s learning to share and redirect that excitement. When she’s not playing or bouncing with happiness, she’ll happily curl up in your lap for a nap, proving she’s equal parts energetic and affectionate. Sable is 100% potty trained, has great house manners, and doesn’t need a crate — she can be trusted while you’re away. She’s wonderful with other dogs and loves greeting them on her walks, but she’s not a match for cats or small critters due to her prey drive (she takes squirrel patrol very seriously). She’s great with kids, though her enthusiasm and jumpiness may be a bit much for very small children. With her high energy and playful nature, Sable will thrive in a home with a fenced yard where she can run, explore, and burn off steam. She’s easygoing, friendly with everyone she meets, and walks beautifully on a leash. She’d be happiest with an active family who enjoys hikes, playtime, and outdoor adventures — and who doesn’t mind a dog who brings all the stuffies to the party!
