It is Possible...
...that I will be getting a puppy in November.
If I do get a puppy, he was born yesterday. And he is a German Pinscher.
There are still several bits of hoop jumping before I know for sure that I'm getting a puppy from this litter, but things are looking very possible at the moment.
I am also inordinately pleased that this litter is the 'J' litter (no one I tell this to seems to understand why I think this is awesome, but it's, like, a Sign). Seriously.
In other doggish news, Billie seems to be significantly less depressed than she's been, which is good because she was making me sad and driving me crazy, both.
We've continued visiting at the hospital once a week, which she really seems to like and the people we visit like her quite a bit too. So, fun for all.
I entered one day in the dog show last week, which went really well except for the end..when it didn't. I'm probably going to a dog show in Wisconsin in a month so we should be able to make up for things then.

Congratulations (maybe)!
So is it a German shepherd/Doberman cross, now recognized as its own breed?
One thing. This:
"has a strong prey drive."
What does this mean, exactly?

It's presumed to be considerably older than the Doberman and is one of the breeds that probably went into developing Dobes. My understanding is that they're still somewhat rare in the US but they're recognized by the AKC, are considered working dogs, and are medium-sized. I'm trying to reduce my total dog poundage a little--but I love the working dogs and want to stick with them.
'has a strong prey drive' means really, *really* likes to chase things :-)
