    What I meant by that is a dog that really only likes going on walks and hanging out with me, if that was what you meant then sorry

    I don't really know. Newfoundlands like swimming and were bred to! Aren't barkers. They are amazing amazing with children and extremely loyal. But they drool alot and the grooming I hear is extensive.

    Any dog will bond quickly to a single person, really.. Mickey used to be so attached to my younger sister, but eventually I was the one who started working with him, walking and playing with him so I became his Mommy.. that's all you really gotta do to make create a special bond with your dog!

    A Doberman would probably be alright, but I don't know many that enjoy water (I know atleast 30...maybe 3 enjoy water). They also need a lot of training and socializing, as do all dogs but it concerns me a bit as I know you're having troubles with Buddy (I do understand you're working with him though!). Good luck in your search Dobermans also have sight hound bred into them, so 100% reliable off leash in an unfenced area could be a problem, but I do know plenty who are reliable.
