To all of Cooper's video fans - It is with great sadness that we inform you that Cooper passed away suddenly on July 13. We had just come back from a few days with him playing in the water on the Colorado River. He succumbed to heart disease he kept well hidden from us. He was a fun, energetic dog and will be missed like we never imagined, but he lives on in our memories, like the one everyone enjoys in his video. Swim on, Cooper.
So sorry Teri. I lost mine a few years ago and I just can't get 100% over him. Dobermans are so special and nobody can under stand unless they have had one.!
I lost my 7 year old Doberman to dilated cardiomyopathy suddenly four months ago, so I know how it feels, horrible. The best dogs in the world with the most heartbreaking disease in the world.
Didn't even notice it the first time I watched the video. Was so fascinating by the intelligence, agility and fun-lovingness of that dog. Have had two in years past. Wonderful, wonderful animals.
ROFL, what a guy Cooper is! Thanks so much for the video, in the top 10 Doberman vids on UA-cam. We have had 4 ( down to 1 now, sadly ) over the years and none of them even liked walking on wet grass. Anyone can see what an absolutely great time he is having and what great parents he adopted.
I have a 15.5 year old Golden Retriever (who's been my wife and I's son - been the best) - I've always wanted a Dobe and now have my wife talked into getting one when our baby's gone - I didn't realize they love the water like this. Great looking dog.
It's all about the socializing. They can be good with almost anything. Our dobes are socialized to people, kids, cats, even rabbits and guinea pigs. But the vacuum... oh, the dreaded vacuum... that is another story. XD
There is no doubt about it!! Dobies are the most fun and funniest breeds around. I had different breeds in my past and got my first Dobe in 97.After the passing of my first one. I got another, a couple of years later.This was the first time in my life that I wanted the same breed again! The dobes in my opinion are number one with me.There is never a dull moment. A breed with the most characteristics rapped up in one!. Thx for sharing your dobe is aces and love em all! :)
What an adorable dog!! Just read the sad news of his passing, however. So sorry. He must have brought you great joy during his lifetime. Hope you remember all the good times, even though I know you'll be hurting. Best regards.
Too COOL! I loved the Labrador/Doberman and this guy takes to the water good. My first Doberman never got close to water for about the first year and a half of her life, except for a bath. I took her home one summer to my parents house that had a stream in the back yard. I pushed her in with my Dad there and he couldn't stop laughing as she couldn't swim. She would walk on the bottom and slap the water. After a few days she got the hang of the dogie paddle though. Thanks & Y'all have a great dog
Those canvas Frisbees are the best. Cooper kills me how well he can balance on that float. lol By minute 3, ol' Coop looks like he's needing a long breather!
My Dobie would not or could not swim. The one time I took him to the beach and threw a ball in the water, he went after it and I had to go in and rescue him LOL. It was hilarious to watch. He climbed up on me and rode me into the beach. Best dogs on the planet tho. Haven't been able to replace him yet. He was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too special.
Doberman are such a unique breed of dogs. Like a mad warrior with a full clown side. I took me a long time to get me head around my Doberman. Hate him and love him equally. Especially when he steels my blanket at 3am. If a person is up to the task, a Doberman will replace 2 dogs and 1 cat all in one dog.
I've never seen a dog jump on a raft while IN the water...it's like a rocket coming out of the water.....so fun to watch people playing with their pets
Sad to see in comments that your special friend has passed....big paws to fill.... He looked to be having the time off his life..Frisby, pool, and most of all...love
lol, I got my Doberman as a retired Schutzhund dog. She did the same deal with the lake. Nobody, even her breeder, knew she LIKED to swim. She's 9 now and we've got her dock diving for fun. It's crazy, but fun .. and shows how smart and versatile our Dobermans really are.
Cooper has never been given a reason to be afraid of the water. He has never been splashed or thrown in. He sees us floating around, relaxing and having fun. Put the raft on a solid surface and let him think of it as a bed or, better yet, a control center. Let him get the feel of the raft before putting it in the water.
Cooper was gently introduced to water when he was about 5 months old. We never did anything to cause him to be fearful and he always saw us relaxing and enjoying the water. We did, however, have to teach him how to get out of the pool if he accidently fell in. He learned it well and is truly a strange Dobe with his love of swimming. Just FYI... he hates a bath! Tolerates it at best!
A doberman has no idea it's a dog, ever. As far as they are concerned, they are doberpersons. The are only too happy to do anything and everything you do. :)
Yes. My daughter learned to walk while holding onto the backs of our Dobes. But you MUST train them. Dobes are real people dogs and if you plan on leaving them as outside dogs they will dig, chew, bark and become like any other dog who just wants to be around their people. Don't get a dog is you don't plan on teaching it and yourself. Obedience is the BEST gift you can ever give your dog (or yourself) as it teaches you both a common language and strengthens the bond you will have.
as an owner of 3 faithful, loving, beautiful dobees I can tell you that basically you become theirs, it's not the other way around. 2ndly it's crucial that you socialize them as soon as possible. Places like PETCO have puppy and me classes where you can take your puppy to have him play with other puppies and socialize them.
excellent video of a dobe who is thoroughly enjoying himself......as others have posted my dobes have never taken to the water they obviously don't what they are missing... well done Cooper & owners
What a magnificent dog , I have 2 bullies yrs ago that used to float around on airbeds in our pool , had to watch them for sunburn though , your dog looks super fit & healthy ( and very happy LOL )

Teri DiMarino
sorry to hear that. more research needs to be done into animal medicine
Teri DiMarino 😟He was an amore
So sorry. :'( He was a beauty, too.
So sorry Teri. I lost mine a few years ago and I just can't get 100% over him. Dobermans are so special and nobody can under stand unless they have had one.!

everyone is like " what a cool dobie" and im like " what i would do if that spider on the wall was alive "
*Spiders CANT swim ;)*
Elise North ikr it scared meeee
A shotgun?
Great Video. Puts a big smile on my face. Lost my Doberman two weeks ago. Cried like a baby.
That's really impressive the way he leaps out of the water onto his raft.
Haha love how he jumps for the raft every time. Dobermans are one of the best things in this world♥️ I miss mine dearly
The spider on the wall scared the s**t out of me :D
Beautiful dog ! :)
Didn't even notice it the first time I watched the video. Was so fascinating by the intelligence, agility and fun-lovingness of that dog. Have had two in years past. Wonderful, wonderful animals.
That dobie has very impressive balance and agility.

Just realized Cooper has passed away, so very sorry for your loss.

He's so cute especially when one ear is upright and the other isn't.
I screamed at the sight of the giant spider in the background at first
His balance and agility are great! What a lovely example of the breed. :-)
Amazing how this dog keeps balance on the raft! Standing on it, jumping on it, pure fun!!
It's all about the socializing. They can be good with almost anything. Our dobes are socialized to people, kids, cats, even rabbits and guinea pigs.
But the vacuum... oh, the dreaded vacuum... that is another story. XD
I was all like, Awww so sweet. Can't wait till I get a Doberman. Then BAM I see that spider and now I can't stop looking at it.
There is no doubt about it!! Dobies are the most fun and funniest breeds around.
I had different breeds in my past and got my first Dobe in 97.After the passing of my first one.

Dobermans are the best dogs on the planet. This guy is great
So sorry about Cooper. What a blessing to have this dog in our lives! Peace and good memories!
ForgiveAndLove09 what happened?
Huge spider on the wall for decoration, and a doberman that loves to swim.
Spiders and doberman, my two favourite animals :)
That is the coolest Doberman ever!
Beautiful dog. Great to have these precious videos of him.
What an adorable dog!! Just read the sad news of his passing, however. So sorry. He must have brought you great joy during his lifetime. Hope you remember all the good times, even though I know you'll be hurting. Best regards.

I can't even get on a raft. Talented Dog.
Those canvas Frisbees are the best. Cooper kills me how well he can balance on that float. lol By minute 3, ol' Coop looks like he's needing a long breather!
You can almost hear Cooper thinking "Come on! Just let me chill on my raft"
So great! Makes me want to take my Dobermans swimming.
he's making the most out of that pool. Excellent!
Oh, he/she is so cute playing at the pool! We also own a dobie as well! They are the PERFECT animal.
Beautiful dog...and he's a riot!! Beautiful pool, spider and the mural on wall too!
That doggie is the coolest dobbie I have ever seen
He is quite a character!!
I hope my puppy Doberman will love swimming! My poodle and Rottweiler loved swimming!
My Dobie would not or could not swim. The one time I took him to the beach and threw a ball in the water, he went after it and I had to go in and rescue him LOL. It was hilarious to watch. He climbed up on me and rode me into the beach. Best dogs on the planet tho. Haven't been able to replace him yet. He was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too special.
Really enjoy watching your Dobie . Are used to have them for years
smarter and more fun than my last wife!! I forgot better looking!!!!lol
LMfaooooo :"D
Probably more obedient too!
Seriously, why do wedding band say love, honour and obey?
Watched this vid 20 plus times... it makes me happy
I only wish more dogs in the world had a life like Coop's :)
Cooper needs to teach Malcolm that trick! He's looking great guys! They grow up so fast
Boy, what a happy dog!
I can just imagine a burglar coming into your back yard, only to find a doberman lounging around in the pool.
I can't even land on that and not fall off.. this dog had talent!
I got a doberman and there the cutest things you could ever see!
That giant spider is absolutely unnerving
The perfect rafting doge in its natural environment.
Huge, beautiful doberman. Rare these days to see one that big.
Dobermann best dogs ever
My Doobie loved the lake. She was a great swimmer.
Funniest dog ever! He would be amazing on a surfboard.
Well i barely saw the dog after seeing that huge ass spider thingy on the wall. Gave me chills...:O
A water loving Doberman?? In SoCal???? My Dobermans despise water! Cooper is so adorable!
He is absolutely gorgeous! :D
Doberman are such a unique breed of dogs. Like a mad warrior with a full clown side. I took me a long time to get me head around my Doberman. Hate him and love him equally.

he is a lovely dog!i had a doberman too they are perfect dogs!
Gorgeous, sweet Dobe, nice pool....creepy spider. LoL
Very cute Cooper! and nice to meet you at the car wash!
Seriously watching him jump up out of the water onto the raft in amazing!
What a lovely happy dog having a great time :)
I've never seen a dog jump on a raft while IN the water...it's like a rocket coming out of the water.....so fun to watch people playing with their pets
Lol, he's so chill!
Love the Dobes, but also LOVE the spider on the wall !
Sad to see in comments that your special friend has passed....big paws to fill....
He looked to be having the time off his life..Frisby, pool, and most of all...love
Man I love these dogs

Cooper is one talented dobie!!!
What a nice animal, and yes, his balanca is amazing :D
Cooper has never been given a reason to be afraid of the water. He has never been splashed or thrown in. He sees us floating around, relaxing and having fun. Put the raft on a solid surface and let him think of it as a bed or, better yet, a control center. Let him get the feel of the raft before putting it in the water.
Cooper is adorable....Pat
IT'S A CUTE DOBERMANN!!!
He is just too cool.
Thankyou very much your dog is precious beautiful

So sorry for your loss😞He was a beautiful dog.
The fact that he can jump onto that raft, and balance just fine is amazing!
That is a nice and huge Dober ! Ear and tail is absolutely fine as well :D
If I had not seen it, I would not believe it. A dob on a lilo in a pool. That is just great.
LOL! This dog is a water rat!
First and foremost, I love your dobe. Second, I love the spider on the wall.
A doberman has no idea it's a dog, ever. As far as they are concerned, they are doberpersons. The are only too happy to do anything and everything you do. :)
SOOO adorable!
This has got to be the luckiest doggie in the world! He sure loves his floating board:)
I am so jealous of your dog! He seems so happy!
Him just sitting on the raft is pretty priceless!!
OMG! He is beautiful!!
BEAUTIFUL Dobie! We have a red male named Cooper! He loves the water too. Nice place you have!
The wall decoration is making me very anxious!
WOW!!!! I have never seen ANY dog do that..Very cool...I'll bet you couldnt teach one the same thing. You have one in a million

What's with the giant spiders??? :O
dobermans are so smart/silly/fun im so jelous you have a great dog!!!!
He is adorable! Fun video!

This is one lucky doberman, nice to watch...
wow,he sooo coordinated!
excellent video of a dobe who is thoroughly enjoying himself......as others have posted my dobes have never taken to the water they obviously don't what they are missing...
well done Cooper & owners
