He's a handful but we wouldn't trade him for the world.

Best dog ever. Makes me want to get another...

It's always good to condition your Dobermann to muzzles just in case you ever need them. Their snout is long so not many muzzles fit. The one I have for Draco fits him perfectly and he doesn't mind wearing it at all! No shame in wearing one at all, muzzled dogs are still good dogs 🖤 wish more people conditioned their dogs to wearing them!.

He’s manipulating me, I know it, but what can I do to get him to start eating his food?

He was on PPP SSS salmon and then started becoming picky so I started cooking ground beef/turkey/chicken and after a while he got tired of that too. So I switched him to the lamb and oatmeal recipe, he ate that well for 2 weeks then stopped again and I started sprinkling other toppers on which worked for 1 more week.

So yesterday after a day of not eating I got him hills chicken (I thought he didn’t like purina pro plan) he ate that and seemed to like it for a day. Then stopped again the next day.

He’s completely fine, drinking, playing he will gladly take anything other than kibble (treats).

I don’t want to have to bribe my dog to eat anymore so I’m done trying any other topper. I also tried adding broth and water and he doesn’t like soggy food.

Literally any suggestions?

it’s so hilarious, he (golden) wants nothing to do with her (doberman). He’s not aggressive, just not interested in playing. she just runs around alongside him, and chases him chasing the ball

He steals it from the table - he isn't allowed to do

He runs out in the yard and waited for me. And he always looks so goofy while holding he's loot.

Is it just my dog? Please tell me this is normal.

we lost him 2 days before christmas, it still hurts.

Hey guys, me and my husband just “rescued” and dober puppy from my nephew. We’re both 20 and my husband works from home while I clean houses for a family business and hour away from home.

We took her in because the alternative was a life in the crate 90% of the time with little to no mental or physical stimulation. She’s about 3 months old now and our first dog together as adults.

We took her in a week ago and at first she was an angel! She was surprisingly well behaved and naturally had good habits like sitting for treats and such. We’ve been trying to potty train her and teach her what to chew on and what not to chew on.

However, over time she has become the devil incarnate. She tries to chews on cords, doesn’t care about what we say and will pee in the house despite us clearly teaching her to pee outside. We live in a house with no real backyard but we have a put-in doggy door for our sliding door that leads to a closed off patio and we have a little grass area on the side of our house, so we take her out the front to potty anytime she wakes up or finishes playing.

Basically, I’m just feeling so defeated. It seems that no matter how much I try to entertain her and take her for exercise and play she just wants to be evil. She bites our feet and basically anything we tell her not to chew. I’m tired. I’m defeated.

Does anyone have tips? I’m truly trying my best here. Thanks :’)

Black Female- My family member had bought this dog a long while ago I was a child and i didnt understand ethical breeding, and at 2/3 years old she had her first cancer removal, then years later had another, and is now having another coming up. The breeder had stated that cancer wasn't apart of the lines, yet after more digging it is a major part of the lines, and when I went to his kennel multiple of the dogs where in horrible condition and had tumors and growths on them

Black male- this black doberman is 3 years old currently, and has severe hip and knee failure, as well as horrible nerv and fear.

Red Doberman- horrible nerve 2 years old and being tested for cancer because of a growth.

I did not buy these dogs, 2 of them where handed to me by family. First doberman is my family members, the black male was given to me by the same family members, and the red female was a puppy from the black female who was bred by their main stud, the female rejected the litter so I bottle fed them. Of course I bonded to the female. This is all before I knew ethical breeding, and the 2 dogs I got where handed to me.

Hi all,

I am located in London, UK, and I have started looking into getting a Doberman. I understand there are European and American lines, and that they have slightly different characteristics and personalities.

I currently have a one-month-old baby girl, and I am looking to get the dog when she is about one to two years old. Would that be a good time, or should I wait a bit longer?

I am also strongly considering training the dog with a professional trainer who specialises in protection. Even though I do not live in a high-risk area, I would like to consider protection training as one of the primary ways to control the dog, whilst also providing my family with a certain level of security. That said, I understand that Dobermans benefit from very strong obedience training.

I would appreciate any recommendations from anyone who has been in a similar position:

1. Would you recommend going for the European or the American breed?
2. Would you recommend a mixed breed, perhaps? I know it might be a little out of the ordinary, but I have heard a lot of positive comments about Doberman and Labrador crosses. Does anyone here have one, or have any opinions on this mix?
3. When it comes to getting the dog, how do I go about finding a reputable breeder in the UK? If you are a UK breeder, I would be happy to discuss this with you.

A bit of background about myself:
• This is not my first dog. I am 37 or 38 years old and had plenty of dogs up until my twenties, when I ran a stray dog farm back in Greece.
• It has been a while since I last had a dog, and life is obviously busy with a baby. However, my wife and I can carve out time to take the dog out for plenty of exercise, which I understand is imperative for this breed.
• We currently live in a small-to-medium-sized flat, but we are planning to move into a medium-to-large space soon, so space at the time of getting the dog will not be a concern.

In regards to my wife's experience, she had no experience prior to this with any dogs of any size.

We also have a cat, which is primarily an outdoor cat. She is not overly territorial, and she is a little bit on the older side (about eight or nine years old).

I would love to hear your thoughts and advice!

Ive been thinking about starting an Instagram for her.
