I've wanted a doberman since i was a pre-teen but so far it hasn't been an option due to living space and financial limitations, but recently I decided to learn everything I possibly can about them, so that when I finally adopt one it'll be smoother sailing, so I think I'll be binge-watching your channel now. Thank you for making such informative videos!
I'm also going to be adopting a female rust and brown Doberman from a relative who's unfortunately too old to take care of a high energy breed like the Doberman, I already have an almost 9 month old yellow labrador male puppy at home who is pretty much scared of any animal that is bigger than him. The Doberman grew up along with a female labrador who is slightly older than her so I know that she won't be unwelcoming of my labrador but I can't be sure if he will take to her quickly. Is there anything I can do to ensure that everything will be alright?
Ahhhhhh. Thanks for the shout out. I agree with everything you said on this video. There’s one thing I might have added when you were talking about rescues Dobermans. Yes they certainly do need forever homes but I wouldn’t recommend a rescue to someone who has never had a Doberman. I believe rescues need Doberman savvy owner’s since you don’t always know what the Doberman has been through that could cause potential problems. With that being said, great video!
Of course! You posted your original comment and it actually popped up on my cell phone while I was in the middle of recording this video, so I thought it was meant to be!! Great timing! Haha. Thanks for the great comment, I'm so happy to have you as a subscriber! Yeah, that's a good point, I wish I would have mentioned that too. That's the problem with doing these videos is I always come up with like 10 more things I wish I would have mentioned, clarified, or whatever after the fact. Oh well, I just add it to the list for future videos to touch on!
Doberman Planet hey this man is smart he uses mobile 1. I used that oil in a 5 hp Briggs in early 2000s and ran it wide open at 7800 rpms for two miles. Stopped to check out level and it was boiling put cap back on and continue to ride.
I'm glad I found your channel. I never in my life ever even thought about getting a Doberman. As luck would have it I recently had a stray 1-year-old male Dobeman show up on my country property that was seriously malnourished. Apparently it had been abandoned somewhere. I thought about taking it to the SPCA, but I had no way of transporting it. So I have ended up keeping it. It has been an interesting experience. He was completely unmanageable when he first arrived, almost hysterical. He has calmed down a great deal, but just as you said in you video, he takes a lot of attention. He's very friendly and affectionate, and in spite of his unruliness, he has been surprisingly non-destructive. He chewed up a couple of socks when he first arrived, but that's about all. He is pretty much house trained at this point. The biggest challenge I have is his jealousy toward my other older female dog. He doesn't like me giving her attention and tries to block me when I approach her. That is improving with time. I live in the country and don't have a fenced yard. He has plenty of room to run and gets abundant exercise. So far I have not had any problem with him wandering off or getting into any trouble with the neighbors. I do have one problem that I don't know how to solve. I would like to get him neutered, but I cannot get him into my small pickup truck to transport him to a vet to get that done. I did get him checked out by a vet who does house calls out here in the country, though. If anyone has a suggestion as to how I can get him in my truck, I would be grateful.
with time you will establish a bond and once that bond is formed he will follow you everywhere. Keep feeding, giving him plenty of attention and love and it will happen naturally. When it does, you will be asking how you can keep him from getting in the truck when you are in it.
@@dingdong7265 My comment was made 2 years ago. I have been doing as you say. I have had him almost 3 years now. He still has not gotten in my truck. He is very affectionate, but I would not say he follows me everywhere I go. As I mentioned, I live in the country. I don't have a fenced yard. He enjoys exploring the pastures around my house. There is a neighbor who has a male Lab. My dog has become good friends with that dog. He spends a lot of time during the day with his dog friend.
1) You scared me with the tool belt and car😂 2) The Doberman message of know the breed came through loud and clear... it’s so important with certain breeds.
Hey Robert! Good to hear from you again! Glad you enjoyed the tool belt on the car. Haha. The wife was nervous about me making the video. Glad the message came through though!
I agree with you about the adoption I rescued my girl from a abusive person as a result she didn't like men but when she came home with me she knew she was safe and going to be loved all she wanted was to please me and be at my side. I love your vids so much truth to them I would mention that people should check for a blood condition I can't remember the name but the blood won't clot very expensive to have the dog fixed. In one of your videos you were talking about age I just lost my girl who was 13.5 years old keep up the great videos
Great video! Thank you so much for informing us all about this very special breed. People need to know more about Dobermann, before considering getting one. Here in Germany many people get a Dobermann and don't think about what it means owning one. So a lot of them get rehomed when they're about 1,5 years old. (Fun period where they know exactly what you want from them but decide to test you 24/7) I got my Dobie a year ago. He unfortunatley had a bit of a rough start. He was all over the place, couldn't stay alone or walk on a leash and so on. Very demanding dog. He is about 2,5 years old now and he changed completley. Even the former owner does not recognize him. And I am so happy about it. This "problem dog" just needed some firm guidance and a lot of love and something to do(!). He is still easy to excite but also incredibly willing to please. I'd never thought this breed would be "my thing". Turns out he is the best buddy I could ever ask for. Never have I seen a dog communicate so clear and smart.
I am so happy I found your channel. I am planning to get a dog in a year or two and I came across the doberman. I simply love the breed to bits. I have watched a lot of videos and done a lot of research but your channel in particular has been very helpful. Thanks!
Thanks so much Sarah I'm really glad you are finding it useful! Here's to hoping you pick a Doberman in the end and I see you back here telling us about your new pup!!
Key point: an untrained Dobe can be unmanageable. They can be very stubborn so they must be trained. But no worries...training a Dobe is both fun and rewarding!!!!!
I just adopted a 3 yr old Doberman from one of my friend who was looking for a proper owner to transfer Doberman to as he and his wife was expecting a baby. I just love him and I am blessed to have found your channel.
cool points, I subscribed to the channel, we chatted earlier on your other video, Nov 17th I receive my new European Dobermann so excited :-) will add a video of the puppy once he arrives. wish you a great week my friend.
We are just about to pick up one next week so finding youre channel couldn’t have come in a better time. Can’t wait to jump on this new life journey and I feel exited. Will keep watching more of you’re videos for advise. Thank you
I can't wait to get my girl. I'm excited. I hope she's everything I could wish for and more. my chihuahua mixes are a hassle to train. I'm hoping she's easier.
I would move before I let someone tell me I could not have a Dobe. It is truly one of the best breeds out there!!!! Be responsible though and train your dog no matter what the breed. I am a Doberman aficionado all the way. I still watch these videos even though I have had a couple of Dobermans just because I am obsessed with my dog Moses!!!!
before i came here i thought pups needed to stay home for the first 4 months but i have been here for 3 and a half years watching and im getting one soon my allergies have settled down i dont have to go to the er if i see one i want to get one but dont think im ready i am worried i will mess up
Just found your channel . I had a Doberman as a kid her name was tiffany the best dog I ever had. Took that dog every where as a kid in Buffalo NY . All the kids on the block she knew and had a ball playing around the yard.
I absolutely LOVE your channel and learned so much from your videos(all of them). Thank you for making them. We are now on a waitlist to get our first dobe puppy from a reputable breeder and are so excited. I am so sorry about your dobe, Cooper.. If you’re looking for another by any chance, I recommend Foxfire who’s located in the west coast. My neighbor got her dobe from her and he’s one amazing dog :) Look forward to watching your next video!
Love your vedios haven’t had my own dog but had family dogs before really interested with dobbies such a smart and caring dog, hopefully one day I can own one thanks for the information very helpful ❤️ 🇦🇺
Hi. I Adopted a Doberman/pitbull terrier. She just turned 4 months today. She is doing good. Still working on potty training. I just wanna know how much to feed her and how to leash train her. She pulls and jumps and bites leash. Thank you. Been learning alot from you.
Love your channel! Nice work! Subscribed with a smile! I have one issue and appreciate your advice. I can only get a Doberman if it stays outdoors (climate controlled). How bad would it be if the Doberman does not come indoors? Should I not get one?
I see your puppy at 12 weeks still didn’t have his ears cropped and my puppy is about the same age and I’m worried about the ears not standing cause his age can you give me some insight on if the procedure worked
I’ve been looking for a Doberman for some time now and I’ve seen on the AKC that some breeders say they have health tested/screen tested their dobermans but what exactly have they screen tested / health tested for? And what should be considered good results? Would you consider doing a video on that. I’ve also noticed it’s less likely European breeders do these type of test.
That's true that many breeders will simply say "we health test our Dobermans" without getting in more detail. I think they are hoping that little or no follow up questions are asked and that's all the reassurance a potential new owner will need. But you make a great point that you need to know WHAT they tested and what the results are. Testing for vWD, DCM1, DCM2, PRA, Hypothyroidism and some others are important for sure. I haven't don't a video or article on this yet, but I think it's something very important that should be covered. I added it to my list of topics to do in the future!
From what I have seen, many reputable breeders show what tests have been done and results. If you go to their website and look at their dog's ( not litters or puppies) it will show you the testing done on the parents. Of course that is just in my experience, it may be different for you.
Can I let thematic in 100 degrees Fahrenheit bcz I googled that 104 Fahrenheit is okay for doberman and can I leave them outside in backyard if they are well trained
Doberman Planet I mean a regular food tutorial. How many times I should give them food (including heavy food or snacks) which kind of foods are best for them for their fitness.
@@TheRawBabe I know in my case, with two different homeowners insurance companies, they send an annual questionnaire on what breed dogs that you own. I have a service dog, which is an akita, but I answer service dog for breed, which gives me exemptions. From what I understand through second hand knowledge, is that they will either cancel you or require a higher premium based on actuarial data. If they cancel, u need to go to another company. My service dog in training is a dobe, but her breed for insurance purposes will be service dog.
I have a question. How are dobermans with smaller dogs or a pet rabbit? I am looking to get a Doberman female and just was wondering about behavioral information in that aspect.
What's your perspective on raw feeding? I'm brand new to the channel, and you might have made a video about this already, but I figured I wanted to ask.
Hi John, life update, I got a dobe! She’s 5 months. We haven’t spayed her as we have decided to wait until she’s a little older. That being said, she’s having some issues and we want to take her in. Just curious if I should get set up with health insurance, do you recommend, if so who is your provider?
We plan to purchase two Doberman puppies to raise together (not breed). Is it a problem to raise two siblings together? One breeder told us the pups would bond together and not be "as bonded" to my wife and I as owners. Is that true?
Sorry you never got a reply! For others with this same question coming along in the future- yes, adopting two puppies from the same litter can be really problematic. The issue is they bond to each other rather than to you, the owner. The term for this is "littermate syndrome", highly recommend googling for more information. I am not a dog "expert" but when I was a kid my family had first-hand experience with this when we adopted two labrador retriever puppies from the same litter. Sure enough - littermate syndrome. We loved them both to pieces but they were totally unmanageable (somehow frequently escaping and running away together to go on their grand adventures and that kind of thing) and we wound up having to rehome one of the puppies. It was heartbreaking. You'd think "how bad could it be? they're babies.." - but trust me and don't underestimate. When they won't listen to you it impacts all their training - potty training and everything else. It is like they would combine all of their brain power and produce chaos and make bad choices 😂 Adorable but not the kind of behavior you want from a pet I promise. Owning one puppy, even one that is responsive to you, will be enough of a handful by itself!
Hi John! Thanks so much for all the helpful information u give us :-) can u talk about same sex aggression with the breed? We just put a deposit down on our first Doberman and we currently have a 2 year old male French bulldog and I'm hearing we should not get a male Dobie now. Even the breeder told us. I've never wanted a female dog though, do u think with early and proper, consistent training a male doberman can peacefully co-exist with another male?
My dude! Does your wife know about that intro?! 😂😂😂 Also awesome video. For #9. Are you just guessing or is that pretty common? because I live near an awesome doberman rescue and will pursue them before "buying" one if it comes to that.
Are European dobes good first time family dogs. Because we have a European breeder 1 hour away, and the American breeders are like 5 hours away. Thanks
They certainly can be!!! The best advice I can give for raising a European is to just plan our how you are going to train the typical behaviors (potty training, leash training, etc) and stick to your plan. Consistency and clear direction is absolutely crucial for these dogs. That's where a lot of new owners will mess up. They will change how they are training something because they're a bit inexperienced and still trying to find the best way. So just plan out how you are going to do these things ahead of time so you can stick with your approach and you should be good. Europeans are hard headed at times but with consistent training you should be totally fine. My first family Dobie was a European and he was so gentle and a great family dog!
I'm a student and next year I'll be getting a doberman...so can my future dog will adapt to timing.? Will it cause some aggression issues for not having me most of the time around him.? Can you give me some tips to handle the dog if he/she can get aggressive or should I consider another dog if it is not a good idea to get a doberman with such busy schedule?
Well I dont know how busy your schedule is. It can be tough with school and homework etc. If your dog gets aggressive then you've done something wrong. I'd focus on the question of whether or not I can make it work around my schedule and still give the dog what he or she needs as far as attention: www.dobermanplanet.com/how-long-can-you-leave-a-doberman-home-alone/
@@DobermanPlanet Thank you... Sir my schedule is 5:00 am to 4:30 pm coz live in village in India so the distance from my house to my school is 30 km it takes 1:15 hours to cover..... I want to ask what are your suggestion on this schedule... Is it okay in the sense, is it manageable for the pup.?... (Sorry to bother you , but in my neighborhood no body is familiar with doberman or with its behavior..so I'm little curious to know about these things)
Hi.. I'm your new subscribers. Gladly i found your channel. I have question, one kennel in my country clip Dobie Thumb. Did you know why? they say useless. Are European / American do that?
Do you mean the dog's declaw? In America anyway, that's completely normal. Most dogs have that done. It's useless and can easily get caught on things and broken leading to lots of pain and vet bills later on.
i tryed walk with my friend's boxer today...lol...very powerful.... i am worry about Doberman will be too big for me ....lol... never have a big dog before...lol
Yeah they have their own health issues... but so do Malinois. Either way... Malinois are great dogs too and I'm glad you got a pup that works well for you!
Yes dobermans as any dog shouldn’t stay or live outside but I raised my Doberman in the snow and he is totally a “snowberman” when we traveled to California he had a hard time with the heat and was happy to be back in the snow for play time. They are very adaptable to the environment you live in.
I want to adopt a doberman, but I live in Spain and I dont know where. Anyone can help me? / Quiero adoptar un doberman, pero vivo en España y no se donde puedo adoptarlos. ¿Puede ayudarme alguien?
The Marines would argue point 9. The doberman's slowness to bond to a new handler is why the Marines decided against using them for military and police work.
That's a great point actually... I assume you're referring to my statement where I said I could argue they might even bond tighter to their new owner after knowing a life without the love and attention you can give.... I think it would depend on the individual Dobie but you make a solid point. They do tend to bond tightly to one person in life.
@@madginger3634 Thanks so much! No worries. I love the feedback. I like that point that you brought up because I think I've even made that same point myself in other videos- about them bonding tightly to one person.
Doberman Planet you know with how smart and emotional these dogs are with the comment the guy made, it might be because they don't want to open up love to another human maybe? I know these dogs love the whole family but tend to pick a favorite human so they maybe a little rebellious and slow to open to another person specially if they were well taken care of before switching handlers. Now with your comment it could very well be if they were not so well taken care of and abused then you show the love they didn't get I can see where your coming from. Lots of other rescue dogs do that.
That would be pretty cheap where I live (California) if it's from a reputable breeder. But I suppose it depends ether where you're at. Everything is expensive in California it seems.
@@DobermanPlanet I would be. I'm a big guy though so it's not as noticeable. I heard you mention they don't like the cold but would they be fine in AC and under a fan for example? I like keeping where I live cool and wouldnt want to get a dog that wouldnt be happy in that sort of weather
Bit contradictory, "hard to control when full grown if not properly trained" vs " consider adopting the same big dog where it's guaranteed they're not properly trained" gonna get someone hurt bud!
My neighbor has one and never pays attention to it. They have other homes and leave it here to “guard”. The other day it hailed and the dog was outside. Cries everyday for the last 9 or so years. I’ve come to hate this breed of dog unfortunately. Bad experience of having to sleep in living room because of the crying.
I've wanted a doberman since i was a pre-teen but so far it hasn't been an option due to living space and financial limitations, but recently I decided to learn everything I possibly can about them, so that when I finally adopt one it'll be smoother sailing, so I think I'll be binge-watching your channel now. Thank you for making such informative videos!
we adopted our doberman from our local shelter and shes the best puppy. Shes more behaved than my adult dogs!
I'm also going to be adopting a female rust and brown Doberman from a relative who's unfortunately too old to take care of a high energy breed like the Doberman, I already have an almost 9 month old yellow labrador male puppy at home who is pretty much scared of any animal that is bigger than him.

I live in Australia, do you think the breed will be able to handle the heat very well?
Heck yah
They do better in heat than cold
Love your video's !!
Thanks Victor, that really means a lot! I'm really glad and hope you are getting some useful nuggets out of them!
I’ve been looking for a Doberman for some time now and I’ve seen on the AKC that some breeders say they have health tested/screen tested their dobermans but what exactly have they screen tested / health tested for? And what should be considered good results? Would you consider doing a video on that. I’ve also noticed it’s less likely European breeders do these type of test.
That's true that many breeders will simply say "we health test our Dobermans" without getting in more detail. I think they are hoping that little or no follow up questions are asked and that's all the reassurance a potential new owner will need. But you make a great point that you need to know WHAT they tested and what the results are. Testing for vWD, DCM1, DCM2, PRA, Hypothyroidism and some others are important for sure. I haven't don't a video or article on this yet, but I think it's something very important that should be covered. I added it to my list of topics to do in the future!
From what I have seen, many reputable breeders show what tests have been done and results. If you go to their website and look at their dog's ( not litters or puppies) it will show you the testing done on the parents. Of course that is just in my experience, it may be different for you.
That’s exactly what I want, a beautiful Doberman and a beautiful foxbody hiding in the garage.
Haha you're the first person to mention the foxbody!! :-) Extra points for you!
Ty for the advise im thinkingbof giving a home to a beautiful fawn boy that is 11 months old
Doberman are my favorite #1 dog I don't have one but I would love my first one.
Can I let thematic in 100 degrees Fahrenheit bcz I googled that 104 Fahrenheit is okay for doberman and can I leave them outside in backyard if they are well trained
New to this page and looking into getting a Doberman if you don’t mind me asking the name of the breeder you got yours from?
Want to know about diet chart of a doberman puppy please.
Do you mean how much to feed a Doberman puppy or what to feed them as far as nutrition? Just need a little clarification on what you mean...
Doberman Planet I mean a regular food tutorial. How many times I should give them food (including heavy food or snacks) which kind of foods are best for them for their fitness.
I have a belgian mal & I'm considering getting a Doberman as a second dog once he's a little older, do you think they are good companions breedwise?
My very best female Doberman ever, weighed 115lbs. she was exceptional. Unfortunately she died at age five from bone cancer.
Cheers Mate!
Any advice to adopt a rescue Doberman Pinscher?
Look for one that may have to be let go because of HOA regulations or homeowners insurance issues.
airborneshodan what circumstances the homeowner insurance has to deal with my dog? Thank you
@@TheRawBabe I know in my case, with two different homeowners insurance companies, they send an annual questionnaire on what breed dogs that you own. I have a service dog, which is an akita, but I answer service dog for breed, which gives me exemptions. From what I understand through second hand knowledge, is that they will either cancel you or require a higher premium based on actuarial data. If they cancel, u need to go to another company. My service dog in training is a dobe, but her breed for insurance purposes will be service dog.
I have a question. How are dobermans with smaller dogs or a pet rabbit? I am looking to get a Doberman female and just was wondering about behavioral information in that aspect.
What's your perspective on raw feeding?
I'm brand new to the channel, and you might have made a video about this already, but I figured I wanted to ask.
The beginning clips were stressing me out so much 😅
Hi John, life update, I got a dobe! She’s 5 months. We haven’t spayed her as we have decided to wait until she’s a little older. That being said, she’s having some issues and we want to take her in. Just curious if I should get set up with health insurance, do you recommend, if so who is your provider?
We plan to purchase two Doberman puppies to raise together (not breed). Is it a problem to raise two siblings together? One breeder told us the pups would bond together and not be "as bonded" to my wife and I as owners. Is that true?
Sorry you never got a reply! For others with this same question coming along in the future- yes, adopting two puppies from the same litter can be really problematic. The issue is they bond to each other rather than to you, the owner. The term for this is "littermate syndrome", highly recommend googling for more information.
I am not a dog "expert" but when I was a kid my family had first-hand experience with this when we adopted two labrador retriever puppies from the same litter. Sure enough - littermate syndrome. We loved them both to pieces but they were totally unmanageable (somehow frequently escaping and running away together to go on their grand adventures and that kind of thing) and we wound up having to rehome one of the puppies. It was heartbreaking.
You'd think "how bad could it be? they're babies.." - but trust me and don't underestimate. When they won't listen to you it impacts all their training - potty training and everything else. It is like they would combine all of their brain power and produce chaos and make bad choices 😂 Adorable but not the kind of behavior you want from a pet I promise. Owning one puppy, even one that is responsive to you, will be enough of a handful by itself!
Hi John! Thanks so much for all the helpful information u give us :-) can u talk about same sex aggression with the breed? We just put a deposit down on our first Doberman and we currently have a 2 year old male French bulldog and I'm hearing we should not get a male Dobie now. Even the breeder told us. I've never wanted a female dog though, do u think with early and proper, consistent training a male doberman can peacefully co-exist with another male?
Best Doberman I ever had was female, I have also heard not good to have another male dog with a Doberman
My dude! Does your wife know about that intro?! 😂😂😂 Also awesome video. For #9. Are you just guessing or is that pretty common? because I live near an awesome doberman rescue and will pursue them before "buying" one if it comes to that.
Marz, Best Doberman I have had my daughter got from a rescue.
Are European dobes good first time family dogs. Because we have a European breeder 1 hour away, and the American breeders are like 5 hours away.
Thanks
They certainly can be!!! The best advice I can give for raising a European is to just plan our how you are going to train the typical behaviors (potty training, leash training, etc) and stick to your plan. Consistency and clear direction is absolutely crucial for these dogs. That's where a lot of new owners will mess up. They will change how they are training something because they're a bit inexperienced and still trying to find the best way. So just plan out how you are going to do these things ahead of time so you can stick with your approach and you should be good. Europeans are hard headed at times but with consistent training you should be totally fine. My first family Dobie was a European and he was so gentle and a great family dog!
Thanks
We went buy our doberman , he's 15hour away LOL
I'm a student and next year I'll be getting a doberman...so can my future dog will adapt to timing.? Will it cause some aggression issues for not having me most of the time around him.? Can you give me some tips to handle the dog if he/she can get aggressive or should I consider another dog if it is not a good idea to get a doberman with such busy schedule?
Well I dont know how busy your schedule is. It can be tough with school and homework etc. If your dog gets aggressive then you've done something wrong. I'd focus on the question of whether or not I can make it work around my schedule and still give the dog what he or she needs as far as attention: www.dobermanplanet.com/how-long-can-you-leave-a-doberman-home-alone/
@@DobermanPlanet Thank you... Sir my schedule is 5:00 am to 4:30 pm coz live in village in India so the distance from my house to my school is 30 km it takes 1:15 hours to cover..... I want to ask what are your suggestion on this schedule... Is it okay in the sense, is it manageable for the pup.?...
(Sorry to bother you , but in my neighborhood no body is familiar with doberman or with its behavior..so I'm little curious to know about these things)
Hi.. I'm your new subscribers. Gladly i found your channel. I have question, one kennel in my country clip Dobie Thumb. Did you know why? they say useless. Are European / American do that?
Do you mean the dog's declaw? In America anyway, that's completely normal. Most dogs have that done. It's useless and can easily get caught on things and broken leading to lots of pain and vet bills later on.
Dog Coats for cold weather! Inside dog.
Can you talk more about the cropping of the ears
That's on the list for future videos for sure!
i tryed walk with my friend's boxer today...lol...very powerful.... i am worry about Doberman will be too big for me ....lol... never have a big dog before...lol
Extra effort into training and you should be fine!
so is a Doberman a good dog for first time dog owners
People say there not good for first time owners but if u do the job right and put in the work and be confident u it can be
Where do you get your music bro!
I would have a Doberman but their health issues scares me. That why I get the Malinois.
Jack Daniels sry for ur loss bro. Mala are great dogs to you know incredible working attitude.
Yeah they have their own health issues... but so do Malinois. Either way... Malinois are great dogs too and I'm glad you got a pup that works well for you!
Damn where I live they only cost between 300 and 800 dollars which is pretty lucky🤣
If they cost 300 dollars, be concerned, sounds like a bad breeder. Expensive pups mean that more effort was put into breeding.
Try 3000-5000!

Yes dobermans as any dog shouldn’t stay or live outside but I raised my Doberman in the snow and he is totally a “snowberman” when we traveled to California he had a hard time with the heat and was happy to be back in the snow for play time. They are very adaptable to the environment you live in.
I want to adopt a doberman, but I live in Spain and I dont know where. Anyone can help me?

Quiero adoptar un doberman, pero vivo en España y no se donde puedo adoptarlos. ¿Puede ayudarme alguien?
Just do a quick google search on "Dobermanns for sale near me/ Dobermanns en venta cerca de mi."
The Marines would argue point 9. The doberman's slowness to bond to a new handler is why the Marines decided against using them for military and police work.
That's a great point actually... I assume you're referring to my statement where I said I could argue they might even bond tighter to their new owner after knowing a life without the love and attention you can give.... I think it would depend on the individual Dobie but you make a solid point. They do tend to bond tightly to one person in life.
@@DobermanPlanet I'm sorry if I seem nitpicky but I'm sure you're right also. I really love your channel and appreciate your feedback
@@madginger3634 Thanks so much! No worries. I love the feedback. I like that point that you brought up because I think I've even made that same point myself in other videos- about them bonding tightly to one person.
Doberman Planet you know with how smart and emotional these dogs are with the comment the guy made, it might be because they don't want to open up love to another human maybe? I know these dogs love the whole family but tend to pick a favorite human so they maybe a little rebellious and slow to open to another person specially if they were well taken care of before switching handlers. Now with your comment it could very well be if they were not so well taken care of and abused then you show the love they didn't get I can see where your coming from. Lots of other rescue dogs do that.
Is it worthy to spend $1800 for an European Doberman puppy ?
That would be pretty cheap where I live (California) if it's from a reputable breeder. But I suppose it depends ether where you're at. Everything is expensive in California it seems.
When changing oil grab the nails.
I'm trying to understand crawling in a lap being a problem. Who doesnt love a big cuddle buddy?
Haha I love it too! Not a problem at all to me... just have to be prepared for 100lbs hoping on your lap is all! 😁👍
@@DobermanPlanet I would be. I'm a big guy though so it's not as noticeable. I heard you mention they don't like the cold but would they be fine in AC and under a fan for example? I like keeping where I live cool and wouldnt want to get a dog that wouldnt be happy in that sort of weather
That intro tho haha
My cat is really great but doesnt want to be around me 24/7. I also cant really take a half blind cat on long walks, jog beside, and play.😂
I want a Doberman but my parents say there aggressive dogs
Talk about Ear Cropping & Tail Docking and how it may be animal abuse.
Bit contradictory, "hard to control when full grown if not properly trained" vs " consider adopting the same big dog where it's guaranteed they're not properly trained" gonna get someone hurt bud!
Whre i live thre 800
Vicious Breed is so rude to say. No dog is mean or dangerous, there are just owners who don’t put in time and effort to Teach the dog how to behave 🙄
I just got a dorbaman (female) Nd I want her to be aggressive she’s 2 months now
Nd
My neighbor has one and never pays attention to it. They have other homes and leave it here to “guard”. The other day it hailed and the dog was outside. Cries everyday for the last 9 or so years. I’ve come to hate this breed of dog unfortunately. Bad experience of having to sleep in living room because of the crying.
