Opinions - Doberman Pinscher Dog Breed

Added on Jan 1st, 2008
IF YOU HAVE TIME & ARE CONSIDERING A DOBERMAN PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING: The bloodlines will determine exact height & weight Example- Our dobeys mother is 32" tall & 120lbs and his father is around 36"tall & 150lbs, His grandmother was over 120lbs and he has an uncle weighing in at 180lbs. They are heavier than most Dobeys, not to mention several inchestaller. My Doberman is now 6 months old & well over 75-80lbs. We go through20lbs of dog food in a week & a half (again bloodlines are a big part of this). It is very important to know your breeder, DONT impulse buy. Bloodlines are a crucial part in the development, size, and temperament of your dog. Another consideration is Dobermans are stubborn & need to be told no for the same thing several times in a positive NONE abusive manner. They are sensitive. They require a patient, loving, FIRM owner who has the time needed to properly train them. They are NOT for first time dog owners. As for the White dobeys-They are not Deleterious to the general breed. They tend to have more skin problems as would any white color dog. But that's about it. Dobermans are great. they make wonderful companions. They bond quickly & its a hard bond to break. There are too many dobeys "cast" out because buyers didn't realize what they were getting into or they ended up with an aggressive dog due to lack of or poor training (this goes back to being a first time dog owner you have to know how much is enough and how much is too much). Sadly they are hard to Re-Adopt so many are euthanized. Many people buy them because they are "Dobermans". Hede1816@hotmail.com

This is one fantastic dog, but buyers beware he is also hard work, he tells me to walk him he tells me when he wants something. he is bossy, he barks a lot and demands constant attention, he loves to fight me and is like my shadow, but I love him to bits. If you get one then you must show this dog respect or he will show you no respect, but he loves children and playing football he has more brains than you would expect from a dog he opens doors and always one step ahead of what your going to do and a superb guard dog.

I am owned by 4 of these wonderful dogs and I wouldn't have any other breed! Storm (black/rust), Zena (blue/rust), Bosco (red/rust), and Lucas (black/rust)are my kids ranging in ages from 4 years to 6 months. I don't know of any other breed that is more loyal, trustworthy, affectionate, friendly, more willing to make friends but protective. I trust my guys around anyone and while it has a lot to do with upbringing and breeding...it has also to do with the breed. I love talking to and meeting other Doberman lovers. Please feel free to email me or look me up on messenger. stormhausdobermans@yahoo.com

My friend owns a Doberman and I used to look after him. He is kind, obedient, loyal, intelligent and patient etc.etc. My friend moved to another town; my life will never be the same.
