My doberman could tell me when my heart was going out of neat
I have a doberman
Got a female Doberman as a first time dog owner. I’m hooked already. She’s beyond loyal and smart. She turns heads everywhere we go and she’s a Conversation starter everyone will stop and talk to me about her!
Very cool to hear other's reactions! No doubt she is a stunner!
Doberman are high class
Awesome! How much does it cost per month to own a Doberman? Thank you!
@@MaryCaesar depends on if you plan on taking them to the vets or grooms or expensive dog food every month. Usually like most well kept dogs about 80 to 140$ without vets
I used to get offended that my Dobe would put his butt towards my head when sleeping in bed. Then I realized he was watching the door! I adore my dog.
Stopped at 5:54 to confirm. I’d had Boba about a month when he and I were out walking. It had gone dark by then, and a stranger approached us. He tried to chat, but Boba, all 8mo and 65lb of him, dropped a growl so low the Japanese picked it up on their seismometers. That dude teleported back about six feet, and disappeared at a quick clip.
I hustled Boba back into the car, and immediately hauled butt to the local PetSmart to let him go hog wild in the treat aisle
That's great Boba reacted like that! They really are the best protectors and companions!!
They are the BEST dogs ever! Always had one and always will! ❤
Agree with you whole-heartedly, Nicole!
Me to Nicole,all my life, always a doby 😀🐾🐾🐾🐾grt from belgium from Finn the Dobermann and Maja
The Doberman smile is the greatest thing to me. When I come home, my Dobie will give me the biggest happy smile! He shows all his teeth…cutest thing ever
because of you for 2 years I dream for a Doberman!
One of the ways my doberman shows affection is head rubbing(yes, like a cat). He punches his head and rubs it into me. The similarities between dobermans and cats are actually quite shocking. Sun bathing, head rubbing, cuddles, rat hunting(which i think comes from the manchester terrier, which I think went into the doberman breed). I try to tell people, my dobie is just a giant household cat.
My Doberman is now 5 months old and everything you said is still spot on. Dog love to sleep under the covers, and if there's an odd sound, she flies out from under the covers to go look out the bedroom door, then right back under the covers. She's going through what seems a teenage phase, healthy, but stubborn lol
I have two Dobermans. A mother, (A blue) and daughter, (black and brown). I take they to the park twice a day to run. I've had people stop and tell me that they are beautiful animals. I had a friend stop by one day, and I said to the dog, " Sasha watch him ", and walked out the room. The friend hollered to me, " She came up to me, and she's staring at me. Get the F*** back in here, she's scaring the hell outta me ", and I came back in the room....lol
Great fu.
😊
My neighbor had a Doberman when i was a kid and every time I would come back from the restaurant with my parents, i would purposely not eat all my food, just so that I can give some to my neighbor's dog. The dog would go crazy, once he knew i had brought food. I build a really good relationship with my neighbor's dog, which I'll never forget going over and playing with him. I felt very comfortable and protected when he was near me. Now i want a Doberman 🖤
100% on target. Dobermans are the best! Everything you could want in a companion dog because that is what the breed was designed to be.
Thanks for your feedback, Sheilah! So glad you agree with the video!
Have a European lineage female Doberman and she is just outstanding, extremely smart and tremendous amount of energy but we love her and she is our seventh Doberman we have had over the years as we just love this breed.
So glad to hear that, Manuel! They are great companions and protectors!

I adopted a female Dobie last summer and it's been a wonderful experience.

Grew up with Dobermans as my mom was a breeder. When I decided I wanted a dog there wasn’t any other breed I would consider. My female is almost one and I’m getting my male in two weeks and I can’t wait.
Hi john for me the best reason for me to have owned a Doberman. Unconditional love. That dog loved me and I could see it in his eyes and actions every day. Total trust and loyalty and protective nature. I would sometimes fall asleep on the floor taking a nap and I would wake up and he would be spooning me. He learned to bang the door when he had to go to the bathroom. I did not teach him but he figured it out on his own.
I work in a nursing home. I bring in our puppy weekly. From the age of 6 weeks old until present. Anastasia is her name. She just turned 16 months old. My residents look forward to every Wednesday.
Awesome name! I wish my girl who just turned 2 could do something important like brightening up the nursing home. Thank you for doing that. My girl is named Katyusha. I like the unique names.
❤❤❤❤❤
Bull mastiff also protection by design. Miss my dobe. R.I.P. Diamond
We've had a dobe in the family since 1971.
Each of our 5 were an outstanding companion and infallable guardian.
My family and I have owned dobies my entire life, and now instead of going on a half hour rant, I just pull up your videos! Thank you so much for being such a passionate and enthusiastic advocate for one of the most amazing breeds out there! 💖
Bang on John!!!! Drinking water is the only clumsy thing. Otherwise, there is nothing else to complain about, we adore him ❤️
After my last Dobie sacrificed his life saving my sister, I'm convinced I only want this breed.
Wow! What a great testimony to the breed that is!
What did it do?
@@Str8representing three guys tried to rob my mom's house and he was shot while protecting her
I think your videos should be a must learn for ALL Doberman owners. Lots of misleading information would go into the water. I am so grateful I found your channel! 😁
I love how you mentioned the Velcro because it is so true. Dobermans are such loyal dogs that they will forever be with you and only YOU!!!
thats what i need. i just lost my dog last october, he was 16.5 years old. i had to put him to sleep because he was very sick. he was by my side all the time. i live alone and i never felt loneliness while i had my dog, but now he is gone and everyday is a struggle. my dog he was fierce and loyal but also super sweet and very friendly. we traveled across the country together. no other dog breed could even compare to my dog except for a doberman. he was a mixed breed by definitely had a little bit of dobie i think because he shares a lot of these traits.
Had a Doberman, Rottweiler, pit bull mix . Sweetest, Smartest most playful and fun loving 106 lbs of dog you could ever have as a best friend.
100% facts,I got 2 Dobermans and get a double dose of love❤,great video as usual,thanks for sharing.
That's great, Steve! They are such good companions to have around.
Dobermans are literally so smart like mine learns things in 1 to 3 tries but they can also learn bad habits fast to which is a tradeoff to their smarts
Doberman Pinscher… The “Executive Dog”. 😎
They are VIP's for sure ;)
Im gonna get my first Doberman next year, I can’t explain how excited I am, I literally think and research about it every day. They are the BEST breed, they have absolutely everything I want in a dog and I can’t wait to get my companion. I often deal with weird men on the street and having him will make me feel so secure
My previous red dobbie name Sadam was very smart. He learned most command in 2-3 repeats. He had to be near me all the time like touched me every time it lied down. If i moved to another chair he would follow too. I still miss him today. My next probably will be another dobbie
My dobbie scared away backyard burglars with her four month old bark! My parents have always feared the breed because of the stereotypes, they feel in love with my red dobie they got a puppies themselves! And its true people stop you, she even gets honks, or they even cat call her with prices 😢and how beautiful she is.
I grew up with a dobie. He was family. He was 87 lbs and lived 13 years. We made some mistakes training him in the early goings and we all adjusted together. All of the lap dog content is on point. He would hang out curled up on the floor near me for 5 minutes tops, then it was time for pats. I would pretend to ignore him, but then he put his head under my hand. Still, I would do nothing and he would lean against me, give me side eye occasionally, and push his muzzle down on my leg with emphasis. He always got pats. He’s been over the rainbow bridge for 30 years and I still miss him.
Greetings from Turkey as well…
Greetings from the US, Sinem!
Well I'll get a Doberman soon and take a class so I can definitely keep myself safe
So anyways God bless you brother and your beautiful family 👪 keep up the great work that you're doing for the kingdom of God with the videos about animals
Thank you for that encouragement and for your kind words, Marcus!! That sounds like a good strategic plan you have in place, too!
I am a Doberman dad and have a almost 10 year old girl.I have had 4 boys with the last one passing last July.I am going on 67 and suffered a major stroke in '20 and my Baron and Ellie were there for me when I got home from the rehab hospital.I always feel safe at home having my Doberman by my side.I am hoping my son and I can get another boy this year.Thanks for this video!
Got a female Dobie as a first time owner during the height of the pandemic. She's turning 2yo next month. Best decision ever!!!
Just wanted to say I got my new Doberman pup a few weeks ago and your videos have helped me out so much. It's a lot of hard work, especially since I want him to be a therapy dog, Thank you for making these videos for such an amazing dog breed.
Dobermans have the potential to be excellent therapy dogs due to their receptive nature, but please remember they were primarily bred for human protection as well. Just stick to it and best of luck! You got it!! 💪🏼💪🏼
Talking about "slobber" mixed with "strange love" mixed with being a "tidy dog", my girl Dobie used to use me (my pants) or the couch as a napkin after eating or drinking. She would eat or drink and then come up to me or the couch and wipe her muzzle off. 😲 I learned to have a napkin 🧻 handy when she drank or ate!
I can’t imagine NOT having a Doberman around! I love them SO!
I'm a 62 year old, lifelong Doberman owner... When I'm ready to go to work, I tell my 8 year old rescue, "Let's go to work," and he goes to his bed in my office and works hard at napping. I've had him for just over a year, and he learned that within a week, and I wasn't really training him! No treats, no repetitions were needed. Mom has to work, and he keeps me company. He's the best coworker I've ever had. Never talks back to me, and doesn't whine about the lack of benefits or the 'work load' either! ;-)
The older my Claudius gets the funnier he becomes. He learns a little more every day, and he is just the biggest marshmallow ever. And so handsome!
I'm an old fart and I have had a few Dobermans , currently a Rottweiler owner because she was a rescue dog, I HAD to help her . I'm looking foreword to getting another Doberman soon.
just got a doberman puppy bro! Thanks to you man ur videos always helped me with my current german sheperd dog and now with doberman too kudos!
That's great news! Congratulations on your new puppy and thank you for the feedback about the channel!
I just rescued a two year old, red female Doberman! I will get to meet her next weekend. Watching your videos because I’ve never owned a purebred Doberman before! Can’t wait to meet her!!
Yay for rescuing!!
I had a singleton Doberman that I received at 6 weeks. To put it frankly the first 2.5 years were a major pain, but with these videos and consistent training he’s finally a good boy.
John is really one of the world's premier subject matter experts on doberman pinchers. And I can verify personally that he's one hundred percent accurate about the breed. He's such a fabulous resource and I really value his videos. My hybrid doberman pinscher learns commands consistently after three repetitions. And my doberman has been tested by animal control because of a neighbor problem. I told them that my Doberman was a velcro dog. They said we'll see about that. And after the tests at my home they said we agree, Your doberman is a velcrow dog. What a fabulous breed. I've owned other dogs and I don't think I could own any other breed again. Thanks john for another great video and keep up the fantastic work!!!👍👍👍
I pick up my male pup in 3 weeks!!! He will be the 4th I have owned and I am absolutely giddy with excitement!!!!
I had a boyfriend with a dobe years ago and it was the sweetest and most intelligent dog I’ve ever seen. I ended up with an English creme golden retriever who is now 15yo. I may have to go with another English crème and a dobe
LOL. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE GOOFY Opening. Many, many thanks for the educational videos. I appreciate the sacrifice you and your family make by educating the rest of us🐕. Hope this channel makes you mega-change. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Siggy is my world! She’s the best service animal and bestie ever
I couldn't agree more. Excellent video, thank you, John
Great work brother. Really enjoying my first Doby. First year was a bit of a challenge, but the older she gets, the smarter and calmer she gets. So happy. I can feel her love
Thanks for sharing !
Always love your pure enthusiasm!
So blessed to have had Doberman's in my life!!! ❤️🙏💞🐾
Love your videos
I couldn't agree more with all these reasons! Thanks for all your helpful videos!
You're welcome, Matthew! Love that encouragement!
Hi. I watched several of your videos prior to getting my puppy. Thank you. He is a fan of yours too! I actually have a video of him watching you on tv. Very happy I decided to get him.
🤩 the best breed EVER yes my Finn is really a velcro 😀 always on my side!!❤️ Thanks John,greets from Finn the Dobermann and Maja from belgium 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
Hi, Maja! Greetings to you and Finn from the USA as well!
YES! THIS IS FANTASTIC INFORMATION. 🙂
JUST SUBSCRIBED🐾👍
I've been trying to find a dog that matches my needs and personality! I'm sold thank you for this informative video💜
Greetings from germany!🐾🐾🙋♀️🤗
Greetings from the US, Silvia!! Thanks for checking in each week!
Great information, here!👍
We just got our doberman pup and it's a dream and sometimes a little 'nightmare' 😂 due to the nipping and biting 😅 But i feel so amazing, he is lovely, cute, tough. He loves to cuddle! ❤ And yes, he is so fast in learning, i am blown away. Knows 4 commands already, just in less than 2 weeks 😳 He is amazing off leash, he is better off leash than on it. But of course we leash him where it is needed or dangerous.
I have a red doberman and she is amazing! Love her so much and she has the goofiest personality. I also have a chow chow and i thought chows were also natural protectors. They were kept as guard dogs for palaces
Great video, watching your doberman interact with your family and their surroundings gives a reassuring visual of safety and warmth of family. Im more than likely adding a couple to ours. Thanks.
Water dribble... ha ha just like my greyhound, makes the kitchen tiles like an ice rink.
I'm looking at adopting a rescue doberman in a few years time when I'm retired and can give time to this wonderful breed.... I'm currently a greyhound mom, he'll be around 6 or 7yrs old when I'm possibly ready for a doby. I've learned so much about them from your channel...admired them from afar for many years.
I had a Proper German Doberman as a baby. She taught me to walk and I used to sleep in her bed. Wonderful Dogs . Awesome Channel. 😁
I've fallen in love with the Doberman breed.
I used to think they were vicious dogs that would be ready to attack at a moments notice. Only to realize what you have taught me is true.
I'm hooked and would recommend them to those that have the time for one.
I have two Dobermans. A mother, (A blue) and daughter, (black and brown). I take they to the park twice a day to run. I've had people stop and tell me that they are beautiful animals. I had a friend stop by one day, and I said to the dog, " Sasha watch him ", and walked out the room. The friend hollered to me, " She came up to me, and she's staring at me. Get the F*** back in here, she's scaring the hell outta me ", and I came back in the room....lol
''Used to think they are vicious?''
Go try breaking into some rust yard where couple of these are walking around and you learn what vicious really means lol.
The vicious part heavily depends to... whom!
@@rockmcdwayne1710 You are correct and I will not ask if this is a first hand experience. (:
@@bl1429 That's a good story.
Thank you for sharing. (:
At first I hated them cause of their muzzles
But my brother got some from my grandma litter and I've found then fascinating
Agreed with 110% of everything you said!!!!!
I loved all these reminders. Leverage this video and its reminders and you and your beautiful dob are HAPPY!
great channel
What a beautiful amazing dog!
Watching your video made me realise that you could apply 99% of these things to my boxer.
Even things I didn't automatically associate with the Doberman, like being goofy 🙂
... also the "oh my god I had to pull over my car and come talk to your dog, as I had one growing up and I love them so much"-thing is for real 😀
I didn't know how many features the Doberman shared with the Boxer (obviously not the looks).
Growing up with Rottweiler, there is something about the tan and black breeds that always makes me fall in love with them.
I will go and watch more of your videos now!
This man is Sooo Right!!!
been watching your Dobe vids all morning.... ALL TRUE! Its like your talking about my black and tan girl!
You are amazing 👏 ❤️
I am getting my first Doberman puppy next week just because I’m watching your channel for 6 months now
Hopefully I know what I am getting into
These dogs are amazing with small children. Smart, gentle, attentive and will always keep their bodies between the child and a stranger. Our Dobie was a bean bag for our girls and tolerated many pulled ears and poked eyes.
My female, Xena, was THE BEST with kids. She would get so excited whenever she saw kids. I miss her so much❤
How about other dogs? I have a small beagle and I'm thinking about getting a doberman since someone tried to push their way into my house a few weeks ago
@@daniellemarie7471 The only issue is size difference. A small dog could be injured during playtime.
@@lanesuzza so I should watch them carefully and not leave my dogs alone together? I already thought about my beagle being hurt.
To own a Dobbie you need a river, they love to swim, a park close by and a Frisbee, owned many Dobbies, wonderful family dog.
I currently have an elderly American Bulldog who I adore. But next I'd love a European Doberman. Your videos are gold.
My male Nimitz was the absolute perfect dog (doberman) He passed last summer. It was one of the hardest loses I have ever been through. We have a new puppy, bizmark, That's quickly capturing my heart. He's a little crazier but that's what keeps me going!
Saddened by your loss😢
Great video. I think my best dog was a Doberman lab cross. He was a very tall deep chested scary boy who would greet children and adults at the door. My current dog a Shepherd / Boxer crosshas been my smartest dog and easiest to train. I would look to a Doberman cross again hoping for less vacuuming again. At 85lbs, I love him but would like a bit smaller since I'm older. Big dogs eat big meals and do big dumps!😊
This breed, boxers and golden retrievers are my favorites.
Ive only had a boxer thus far, which is in all honesty an exact middle point between goldies and dobermans 😂.
They have the energy and guard dog like nature of dobermans and the playfull yet troublemaker type personality off the golden retriever.
Cant wait to try owning the other 2 breeds
I was looking for GS female rescue and found Rio at the shelter. The calmest dog there and he did not belong in the slammer. So Rio has a 140 ac ranch and me now. He never leaves my side. He must be 9 now and I'm trying to face that day so I started watching YT rescue tips. He is the best dog I have had, and I've had some great dogs.
I really enjoy Your channel, I'm a doberman owner from almost a year now, I have an experience with big dog breeds (giant schnauzer, great dane, fila brasileiro) but doberman is really one of a kind. It's all true what You say in your videos, I've learnt a lot from You about dobermans personality, training, care and so much more. But for the first time I saw in your video a flash of doberman drinking habit xD I was so suprised that not only from my dobermans mouth flows soooo much water after drinking, I have never experienced this in any of my previous dogs xD but I'm also shocked how loud it is when he drinks xD is it normal that it is soooo loud, do all dobermans make so much noise when drinking water? xD
I love them!
Agreed!! :)
Thanks, I have had 4 of them and my wife loves Kiana. What a great dog
I have two Dobermans. A mother, (A blue) and daughter, (black and brown). I take they to the park twice a day to run. I've had people stop and tell me that they are beautiful animals.

Get the F*** back in here, she's scaring the hell outta me ", and I came back in the room....lol
Great video! I have a mixed Doberman and a lot of these hold true for her! Quick question though- our girl is 7 months old now and has a real fear of strangers and likes to charge and bark when taking her on walks or if someone she doesn’t know comes in tbt house. She is especially fearful of men. Do you have any suggestions on ways to make her more comfortable around strangers and people we have welcomed into our home? She does great with everyone she knows.
My friend had a chocolate dobie when I was a kid and she was my favorite of all my friends dogs. Such a sweetheart. But we used to wrestle and one time my buddy faked that I was hurting him, and she made a bee line straight towards me
the way he drinks your coffee ☕️ 😂
I was g2 get a doberman but then I read about dcm and the fact that they can't be alone for long periods of time.
I work a lot but I want a guard dog that'll adapt to my schedule
My 1yr she has a ton of personality, she is my goofy girl ❤
Hello my friend how are you it’s nice to see you too thanks for the video 😁
Hi, Peter! Great to hear from you. Doing well!! Thanks for reaching out!
I enjoy your videos. They make me almost want to get a Dobie (actually the 'almost' could probably be removed). My issue is that the health of my wife and I are such that I'm not sure we can be as active as a Dobie would need. I'm also concerned about my wife due to seeing her with our current Chihuahua/Shih-Tzu mix named Billie. We got Billie shortly after her 3rd birthday (she's 10 now and still acting like a puppy). The people who had her before us gave her no training at all. She has a full dose of the Shih-Tzu stubbornness and my wife was not reinforcing any of my attempts at training I made while I was away for work or other errands. At least Billie does her business outside or on the training pads we keep out for if we're going to be gone for any length of time. She's also friendly with other people though hit and miss with other dogs. I would never trust her off a leash outside since she gets single minded when she catches a scent (not sure if that's her Shih-Tzu stubbornness or if she has a touch of Beagle in her lol). Anyway, that should get across my concerns with a Dobie. Though I can't work anymore and am with my wife almost 24/7 now, I would be very concerned with leaving my wife with a big intelligent dog like a Dobie. At least if Billie is being unruly, my wife can pick her up easily (only 15 lbs).
Fostering with possible adopting a new 2yo male tripod fawn doberman. We currently have a 2yo female dobie.
I have 2 dobes that are forever the best fut babies. 🥰
Love dogs in general but don’t have time to look after one properly due to full time work. Love Doberman pinschers maybe once I retire
That clean Doberman one has me lmao! Mine is a muddy mess that won’t stay out of the pond
I have two Dobermans. A mother, (A blue) and daughter, (black and brown). I take they to the park twice a day to run. I've had people stop and tell me that they are beautiful animals. I had a friend stop by one day, and I said to the dog, " Sasha watch him ", and walked out the room. The friend hollered to me, " She came up to me, and she's staring at me. Get the F*** back in here, she's scaring the hell outta me ", and I came back in the room....lol
My female European Doberman is five months old now, and I’m always astonished at how smart she is. She’s definitely beginning to push boundaries though, like all teenagers do 😅
Iv had Dobermans for years. I obviously think there is no better dog in the world. Unfortunately, now I am disabled and in a wheelchair, and I have to live in an apartment. I would give my right leg to be with a Dobie again. But I would NEVER put these amazing animals thru living in such a small place without a yard and the great outdoors to run n play!
Love the breed. Hate the shedding.
I just lost my loving dog at the age of 15. I haven’t gotten very lonely since she passed. I owned a Doberman many years ago and he was wonderful. I’m in my early 60’s and single so my home has gotten very empty. I have been thinking about get a Doberman but my family thinks I’m crazy. What do you think?
