The German Pinscher

Astro is definitely my little baby. But he's already 2 1/2yrs old. I think it's about time that he gets a new baby sister... this is what I have my eyes on:

The beauty in the middle is a German pinscher, with a min pin and doberman on the right and left side. I love the german pinscher for it's medium size and I am a huge fan of short haired dogs since I have allergies.

Also, astro's got a great bark, but not enough size to back him up as a guard dog. With the possibility of buying our own house soon, I'd like to get something a little bigger to ward off lurking strangers.
