Definitely research reputable breeders. I noticed a Doberman running loose in my subdivision. I caught her and put her in my backyard while we tried to find her owners. Turns out she was almost certainly a breeding dog that had been dumped but she quickly won us over. We weren't planning on getting a dog but are so glad she found us.
@@nikojohnson3155 wouldn't respond but we posted all over the place. The vets we took her too said it is unfortunately a common practice. She also had heartworms and the treatment was expensive so figure they didn't think it was worth taking care of.
The main reason I want a doberman is so that I can have scary dog privileges when walking alone at night as a girl. This video definitely gave me more reasons to want them. They're so cute
It's best not to put yourself in dangerous situations in the first place because the dog may not be able to react. This dog is great as a house watchdog but should not intentionally be put in threatening situations.
@@jessicaribeiro8928 If you have a *good* size dog,well-built and courageous. My first dog ever was a angel of a Wire Fox-Terrier. Very loving and cautious, but NOT a protection dog. Her 20lbs frame wasn't always enough. Thankfully, I was.
dobie owner here: i used to watch this video and was uncertain whether a dobie is good for me. if you're in the same situation, lemme tell you: getting a dobie was the BEST decision i've ever made. they are the MOST beautiful, loyal, loving, intelligent dogs that you will NOT regret getting.
literally applied to adopt one today... been researching and considering for months. i will be living in an apartment eventually but in a house rn, concerned abt that but im so dedicated to dobies
We had two female Dobermans over the course of 23 years and miss them so much and debating whether to continue to love affair with a new one. The problem is; Once you have owned Dobermans, you are ruined. Ruined to own any other dog breed. My issue now is my age. I'm retired now in my seventh decade, with plenty of time for training and care and they would also exercise me and probably help to keep me young. However, one should plan at least a 10 years commitment when getting a Doby.
Absolutely fantastic video. Just what people need when choosing a dog. We had a Doberman when I was about 6 years old, I'm now 48 and still miss her. They really are in tune with their owners and it is like having another child, a smart child. Never a dull moment and always a bundle of laughs. My father changed the interior door handles to ball handles because she could open doors. It didn't prevent her from learning how to open that type of handle. Super clever dog. If they watch you do something, they can learn it. She even sat on the sofa with us, feet on the floor, butt on the sofa. OMG, I could go on and on.
Two time Doberman owner here. If you get a Doberman (or any breed, for that matter) PLEASE be responsible. This is the most terrific breed. But they need a lot of exercise and training. Too many people get dogs and are lazy then ruin the dog. Dobermans are too special to ruin. My 5 year old male Dobe died 1 year ago today from DCM and I am still heartbroken. Dobes are truly special.
That’s exactly why I wanted one. A great companion and also very intimidating breed of dog. No one even thinks of messing with me/my house because of my Doberman Genesis!
Before thinking about your benefits, think also about his needs and ask yourself sincerly if you can fulfil them because this way you can have a true balanced relationship with him :)
wonderful to see a first time dobe owner putting in so much time, effort and energy. They are not easy dogs - high IQ, high EQ - but if you put in the work they are just the most affectionate, loyal, protective dogs ❤️
My family has owned Dobbies for over 40 years, mostly blues and black, and the one my dad has now is super affectionate and will come up sit next you on the couch and lay her head on your shoulder and look up at you and it’s amazing how gentle and intuitive they are. He has her trained on hand signals and verbal commands in German and she has an acre and a half to run freely and has a family of deer that come to visit every afternoon. Great dogs but they require a lot of love and attention.
These people next to my grandfather have 2 European Dobermans, I once went to his house with my grandfather and when I saw the Doberman I freaked out, not in joy, In fright. But my grandfather calmed me down and the Doberman turned out to be a really great dog. I asked my parents for one for Christmas and now I have a 3 year old Doberman named LuLu :)
I got a doberman about 3 years ago, 8 years after the passing of my German short hair pointers. I found dobermans are an amazing breed. Their smart, affectionate, and emotionally intelligent, meaning they can read their owners well.
@@maggiethedruid9010 Dobermans are more mellow. Give them a half hour of hard play time and they're pretty well good for the day. All pups have tons of energy and needs to be worked/played.
Having had two Dobermans, we found that at 4 years of age their natural rambunctious nature does calm down and they become very confident in their family role. This is also the time that their intelligence blooms and they become almost scary in their perceptions of their owners and their self taught capabilities, particularly understanding language that was never taught as commands.
Good video. It seems like every UA-camr I watch with these dogs doesn’t have a 9-5 job it seems like their entire day is devoted to keeping the dogs entertained.
My little Bonnie died over a year ago and I am still heartbroken. She was clingy and cowardly but still the most precious dog anyone could ask for. Enjoy your sweet Doberman and be grateful for every day you share with her.

I grew up with a Doberman. We loved him very much, but his nickname was "devil dog". He was the stereotypical Doberman. It is EXTREMELY important to train and socialize. They are alphas and it is very important to make sure they know who is boss. They are not for the faint of heart dog owner. If you put your work in, this video shows you what their potential is.
Amen, I want doberman so bad and I just came across this video along with your comment. I was thinking maybe I'll never be able to get one because of the price, but seeing your comment gives me hope and I know God just answered my prayers 🙏
@@chiefw3573 Make sure you don’t have a job where you are gone all day. Do your research on breeders. Hire a trainer as soon as you bring the puppy home one that specializes in puppy development.
Dobermans become a member of the family. It has been 21 years since my last Doberman passed - - it still hurts my heart so much that I can't commit to another
I own a female that has European and American bloodlines. I am contemplating in getting another but a male. These dogs do require a lot of attention, exercise and love. The most affectionate and loyal dogs!! Your two are so cute.
I own a Doby and one thing that I noticed about them, is that they have great instinct and sense of awareness. For example; if we go to the woods and you don't see anyone, doberman can sense yards away! even if they can't see a person. You have to definitely trust them.
My first dog is a doberman. She's also European blood line and she is 100 pounds of absolutely gorgeous everything! She is a gentle giant and she is so loved that the little kids come to our house, knock on the door, and ask if Reagan can come out to play. Everything you said was accurate! I love my girl and she is my best friend, protector, scares the crap out of men when we go for walks. Great video and beautiful babies! I love your dogs. Gorgeous!
Had a doberman many years ago was the best dog we ever had. Just perfect in every way. But as time went by switched to imported german shepherds. Getting the ears cropped is the biggest setback on the Doberman breed, it's a very big expense. The local veterinarians were charging approximately $1000 to crop the ears probably much higher now. Where as the imported german shepherd breed is ready to go as a puppy.
@@vikingdogmanship Nah, its not that bad. They are like having a kid (first year or 2) but so long as your invested in them and spend the time, take them out with you as often as you can, they will adjust greatly to your life. Of course you will go through those few months where your like WTF! but always gotta remember this crazy puppy will be a very different at 6 months, then 12 months, then fixed, then at around 2 years is you see what kind of dog you have as they calm down and adjust to your schedule and life.
I so inlove ♥Doberman,they are so sweet, before I was thinking that Doberman is so scary but eventually I already know their behavior, they are such sweet and loving dog and energetic ofcourse so loyal
Great video and very accurate! I have had two Dobermans and it is more of a lifestyle choice than just owning or having a dog. I will say as a single woman traveling with my European dobe girl she saved me from a likely rap scenario just by staring at the man who followed me to my hotel room. One look at her watching him from the bed and he was gone.
Hi : I noticed the dogs were slipping a fair amount on the smooth floors - This cud lead to injury specially as they age. Perhaps their nails need trimming - Moisturising their paws often too may help.
On a similar issue, I would eliminate the neck collars for walking and control in favor of a chest harness. Dobermans have strong necks, but they contains 5 vertebra and the breed is prone to neck injuries. A dislocated vertebrae will paralyze the dog from the neck down.
I Used to have a dobe my boy brady had uncropped ears and he woke us up every morning at 6 am he was such a good boy and totally the same description of these pups totally had the dobe sideways crab walk too
I read once in a book about dog training that Dobermans sometimes have a trait that's not what you really want, and you have to train it out of them. Rather than bark they will bait you in and ambush you. What you typically want with an alarm dog or house, or junk yard guard is for them to be an intimidating presence that keeps people from coming in. You want them to bark and threaten not hide in the shadows and wait for you to get in so they can ambush. You may want to train them to be alarm dogs.
My friend who owned a dog training business said that some people wanted them trained not to bark but to attack. He knew how to do it but refused..the 2 he owned didn't even need leashes on a walk. Great trainer
This video reminds me of all the reasons why I fell in love with the Doberman but I decided not to get one because of the DCM in the breed. so now I have an American Staffshire terrier which is also an amazing dog breed
My amstaff is only six months old but so far she is very intelligent very playful quite bitey understands a verbal correction since day one very friendly with everyone I would say they’re Worse then a labrador very affectionate I haven’t found that she Hass to be near me but she will follow me around the farm when we are going on a walk she will always stick around me and I noticed she will look back at me if she’s going off with one of our other dogs we have a 9 year old powder puff 6 year old Fox terrier mix and a 1 year old miniature Chihuahua he is the only boy and Bella’s (my AmStaff) Best friend. if I’m on the sofa She will be on the floor next to me and if I’ve gone away for an hour and I come back to her she will be very happy and excited, She will definitely alert bark but we have other dogs to help her with that and she’s quite lazy if she’s laying down and you call her she will most likely not come unless she knows it’s training time but I need to do a lot more work with her she loves carrying things she’s getting quite good with other dogs And very good with humans very brave it is hard to scare her socializing her has been a piece of cake And this is my first proper dog I am very happy with her. I think the vizsla is the type of lapdog that the Doberman is
@@schoepite today I noticed that she does follow me around a lot I don’t think it’s because she needs too I think she just loves me and wants to hang around with me
@@vikingdogmanship they need a lot of exercise but when they are done they will be right next to you. They are true velcro dogs and extremely affectionate
As an owner of 3 Dobermans (over the course of various times), thank you for a good video that presented the positives and drawbacks of owning the Doberman. So unfair to the dogs that are 'given up' by their owners. Hope you do more videos
If you get 2 puppies at the same time you will have that issue. It’s best to raise one puppy at a time or you will find that your dog becomes doggy. They seek attention from other dogs instead of you. When they are older it doesn’t matter as much because by then you should have a strong bond with your dog.
7:46 I couldn't stop laughing! Thank you so much for posting this video! I plan on getting a Dobey and I've already picked out a name. I'm a bit nervous as I've had other pets, but never a dog and my family in Jamaica didn't keep dogs in the house. I'd like to have two in the future, but for now - I am going to get one and I am so excited. Especially as a young woman who's actively in nature - I need the protection so I am grateful for my choice.
To have a great Doberman you have to raise them with you in your house.Don't put them outside to sleep at night.I 've had 5 of these great dogs and I lost my Baron aon 7/13/22,a beautiful red male who was sired by a Hungarian world champ,named 'Seper Fidelis I'm In Charge'.My Baron was the greatest friend you could ever have.He always slept in my room and was very protective of me.I'm 66 and used to walk a lot at night and having him with me always made me feel safe.I wish you the very best of luck with your best friend when you get one! What name have you picked out? I have had 4 red males and still have a 9 year old female fawn in color named Ellie,she is a real sweetie and misses Baron as much as I do.
Im the proud daddy of good princess Dobulons ❤️, we called her Dobie , the most beautiful lady, loyal friend and most fearless warrior and protector , ever , it's been 35 years since I've seen her and I miss her terribly every day ❤️
I never understand why people wanna say because they’re a male and they’re out their sexual maturity they’ll bark and growl at other dogs That just shows to me that you don’t have complete control of your dog I have a three-year-old Doberman and he will never even show up to another dog unless I tell him to do it he will not do it He’s not fixed but I am the leader and that’s the way it’s supposed to be and anytime if your dog growls or barks in another dog means that you don’t have the ultimate control and they are big they are athletic and they are dangerous So I don’t blame it on sexual maturity. You need to take control that dog when he does that bang. You’re on top of me he’ll kick into the side doesn’t have to be hard has to break his attention make him sit down he wait you own him by the year you have to just give him a little tug that’s all that Doberman they’re smart .
I wanted to get a Rottweiler but I’ve always liked Dobermans and now I want a Doberman cause they are much more intelligent and better. My fear was that they would be to wild as a big dog but they seem so smart I think it may be good to get one
Get to know the breed before you commit. Note that females usually weigh in at about 30 pounds less than the males and a little shorter if size is a concern.
When I was a kid we had a lovely red and rust dobie - he was a giant derp sweetheart - he was a huge dope. He loved everybody though he was very good w/his protective behavior (he’d place himself between me and older persons he didn’t know, particularly men, when I was a kid - but he never behaved aggressively or acted out)
In the canine world, it is often the size of the fight in a dog rather than the size of the dog in the fight. Think of a Doberman as a 6'9" Good Time Charlie until it is "Go Time" then he is your worst-case scenario
For me having a Dobie was WONDERFUL. I once had the daughter of Ch Damasyn Troysen back in 1972. She was tuff but also so gentle. She loved me to sing to her.
Love the breed and dogs! Great video! Wanted to get Dobermans myself...but the since of our home wouldn't be the right size for Dobermans. So we got ourselves 2 midget pinscher. Their close to 8 years old now...the male however thinks he's a Doberman considering his attitude! Once again. Great vid!
Anyone who has had an experience having dobbies in the family will remain hooked to them. They are the most adorable, goofiest, most sensitive, loving and loyal babies.
She totally rocks...I saw that she has left her boy perfectly natural. I LOVE her for that..even though I know its her decision to make. My girl has the cherry eye but she is very happy. I feel like unless you are showing for the most part we should spare our innocent beasts needless interventions. I am not against docking etc...but my preference is the least invasive for the animals the better their quality of lives are. Ive had two wonderful c sections so I know surgery....but i am hesitant to alter my girl in any way...I may never alter her...she seems happy and fine the way she is. Just don't let anyone guilt you into getting your pets cut...even routine surgeries can go wrong so its really a personal decision we all must make after doing research about it and considering your pros and cons. :)
I had a female Doberman and she was the sweetest dog in the world. All the kids in the neighborhood would come over and ask to play with Misty. If she could talk, she would invite anybody in for a pizza and a pop she would never hurt anybody. Now she’s in doggy heaven.
That Go-Cart run is funny. Lol! I love it! I use my Trek MTB with a 10ft leash to exercise my 8month old Euro-D. I make sure that he jogs/runs on the grass to hopefully prevent future joint issues. It works for us.
G'day from Australia! Well done with your Dobies! You do literally word for word the exact same things I do with mine! They are exactly like toddlers but with fangs lol. Best dogs ever. Bravo. I'd love to get a couple imported from Serbia but Australia has very strict quarantine laws. May I ask as to the breeders name?
Dobermans are awesome dogs and probably the only large breed dog I would ever own again… Although they love the whole human family, they seem too attached to a single person in that family… Also a great dog with children of all ages… It would be a good idea to get a golf cart to run the dogs... A standard golf cart goes 12 mph and a Doberman can easily keep that pace up for a few miles
@@jesusbarraza3050 apparently you did not watch the whole video… If you did you would have seen that she runs them with go-carts now that go 30 mph... A golf cart would be much safer and can be made to go 25 mph with little effort, they are easier to get in and out of and you can get street legal kits for them… So yeah, that was my effing advice... I also have some advice for you, but I will reserve myself because I can see that you don’t have the mental capacity to understand
Really liked the video. My Dobe girl is very fond of the big screen. Nose "touched" the remote to watch Star Trek and All Creatures Great and Small. She also likes Dr Who.
I dont know if this has been covered, but maybe a video on purchasing dogs from overseas. I find it to be a scary process, and any tips would be good to hear from other peoples experience.
mainly german pinscher was used for creating the doberman, also greyhound and rottweiler, hunting breeds and so on but not the manchester terrier that is often confused with the german pinscher
I understand to have a dog that can protect you but I can not stand how humans try to make them so evil. I had a Dobie, he was loyal,friendly, took care of his family but I NEVER used aggressiveness to train him
Thanks for this, they are my favorite dog breed and I've always wanted one once I own my own home , I have a almost 4 year old and with my research they are incredibly great with kids. However, would you recommend one for a small family?
@@Black_Magic_Woman Im sorry, you should do what you think you can handle. If you have had rotties and pits im sure you can handle a dobie. For me it would Depend on the childrens age, experince and how much time you can put in training. I had a family og 5 who contacted me for a JRT puppy. They assured me that both parents had grown up with dogs, and the children was "old" enough to learn how to behave around a puppy. They had done extensive research and i had a good feeling when they picked up the puppy. It took a month until they returned him to me, having 3 children up and out of bed in the morning, getting dressed and fed, getting everyone to school and going to work and pick up children etc all this can take a toll on a family when bringing a high energy dog into the house and everything that comes along with potty training, teething and everything else. Big or Small, they need alot of learning and guidance from the day you get them. I offcourse took the dog back and found a place that had grown kids, and the parents had all the time in the world for hiking trips and training a puppy. I will never again sell a dog to a family with children under the age 10. All dogs can be great family dogs, if you put in the time and effort. To me it is a life style. I wish you all the best looking for your future dog, no matter what breed you end up with✌ Have a great day

Had a Doberman for 12yrs.best dog I ever had.

The fact that you named one of your dogs Draco....I respect you ✌☺️
I wanted a Doberman but ended up with a miniature pinscher 😂
I don’t know what my life would be like without a doberman.
save money, get fat, lonely and sad, maybe get burgled once in a while...
Totally agree; with my two dobie-girls
Any tips for a first time dog owners wanting to get a Doberman?
@@chiefw3573
Make sure you don’t have a job where you are gone all day.
Do your research on breeders.
Hire a trainer as soon as you bring the puppy home one that specializes in puppy development.
I can tell you, it’s sad and a whole lot less vibrant. 🥺
I miss my dobie. Her name was Justice. She was amazing!
Thats an amazing name especially for a dobie :)
I know exactly how it feels, my friend.
Dobermans become a member of the family.
It has been 21 years since my last Doberman passed - - it still hurts my heart so much that I can't commit to another
You are one protected & safe girl!
I own a female that has European and American bloodlines. I am contemplating in getting another but a male. These dogs do require a lot of attention, exercise and love. The most affectionate and loyal dogs!! Your two are so cute.
I own a Doby and one thing that I noticed about them, is that they have great instinct and sense of awareness. For example; if we go to the woods and you don't see anyone, doberman can sense yards away! even if they can't see a person. You have to definitely trust them.
My first dog is a doberman. She's also European blood line and she is 100 pounds of absolutely gorgeous everything! She is a gentle giant and she is so loved that the little kids come to our house, knock on the door, and ask if Reagan can come out to play. Everything you said was accurate! I love my girl and she is my best friend, protector, scares the crap out of men when we go for walks. Great video and beautiful babies! I love your dogs. Gorgeous!
I agree with previous replies -- this is great format - hope to see more like this!
Had a doberman many years ago was the best dog we ever had. Just perfect in every way. But as time went by switched to imported german shepherds. Getting the ears cropped is the biggest setback on the Doberman breed, it's a very big expense. The local veterinarians were charging approximately $1000 to crop the ears probably much higher now. Where as the imported german shepherd breed is ready to go as a puppy.
They’re names really compliment each other Draco And Katana that shit is so fire 💪
This video is for me!!!! I’ve been thinking about getting a Dobie.
Say good bye to your freedom🤣👍
Hope you're ready for a handful
@@vikingdogmanship Nah, its not that bad. They are like having a kid (first year or 2) but so long as your invested in them and spend the time, take them out with you as often as you can, they will adjust greatly to your life. Of course you will go through those few months where your like WTF! but always gotta remember this crazy puppy will be a very different at 6 months, then 12 months, then fixed, then at around 2 years is you see what kind of dog you have as they calm down and adjust to your schedule and life.
I so inlove ♥Doberman,they are so sweet, before I was thinking that Doberman is so scary but eventually I already know their behavior, they are such sweet and loving dog and energetic ofcourse so loyal
Great video and very accurate! I have had two Dobermans and it is more of a lifestyle choice than just owning or having a dog. I will say as a single woman traveling with my European dobe girl she saved me from a likely rap scenario just by staring at the man who followed me to my hotel room. One look at her watching him from the bed and he was gone.
I see her in tik tok (also in lives) she is amazing! Draco and katana are obviously so cute, I love seeing their videos!
Hi :
I noticed the dogs were slipping a fair amount on the smooth floors - This cud lead to injury specially as they age.
Perhaps their nails need trimming - Moisturising their paws often too may help.
Or lots of rugs. Our floors look like a giant quilt at this point. 😅
@@samanthawhang7498 We've placed yoga mats at various locations throughout the house. They work great!
Great tip! Will keep this in mind!
On a similar issue, I would eliminate the neck collars for walking and control in favor of a chest harness. Dobermans have strong necks, but they contains 5 vertebra and the breed is prone to neck injuries. A dislocated vertebrae will paralyze the dog from the neck down.
I Used to have a dobe my boy brady had uncropped ears and he woke us up every morning at 6 am he was such a good boy and totally the same description of these pups totally had the dobe sideways crab walk too
I read once in a book about dog training that Dobermans sometimes have a trait that's not what you really want, and you have to train it out of them. Rather than bark they will bait you in and ambush you. What you typically want with an alarm dog or house, or junk yard guard is for them to be an intimidating presence that keeps people from coming in. You want them to bark and threaten not hide in the shadows and wait for you to get in so they can ambush. You may want to train them to be alarm dogs.
My friend who owned a dog training business said that some people wanted them trained not to bark but to attack. He knew how to do it but refused..the 2 he owned didn't even need leashes on a walk. Great trainer
That's weird, my doberman is an alarm dog. She likes to ambush too but only when we play haha
My 2 dobies are literally pacing around me right now while I watch this video. Very loving, but very needy lol
This video reminds me of all the reasons why I fell in love with the Doberman but I decided not to get one because of the DCM in the breed. so now I have an American Staffshire terrier which is also an amazing dog breed
My amstaff is only six months old but so far she is very intelligent very playful quite bitey understands a verbal correction since day one very friendly with everyone I would say they’re Worse then a labrador very affectionate I haven’t found that she Hass to be near me but she will follow me around the farm when we are going on a walk she will always stick around me and I noticed she will look back at me if she’s going off with one of our other dogs we have a 9 year old powder puff 6 year old Fox terrier mix and a 1 year old miniature Chihuahua he is the only boy and Bella’s (my AmStaff) Best friend. if I’m on the sofa She will be on the floor next to me and if I’ve gone away for an hour and I come back to her she will be very happy and excited, She will definitely alert bark but we have other dogs to help her with that and she’s quite lazy if she’s laying down and you call her she will most likely not come unless she knows it’s training time but I need to do a lot more work with her she loves carrying things she’s getting quite good with other dogs And very good with humans very brave it is hard to scare her socializing her has been a piece of cake And this is my first proper dog I am very happy with her. I think the vizsla is the type of lapdog that the Doberman is
@@schoepite today I noticed that she does follow me around a lot I don’t think it’s because she needs too I think she just loves me and wants to hang around with me
@@lilypeate5601 wizzla lap dog? Nah not the ones i have been around
😅
@@vikingdogmanship they need a lot of exercise but when they are done they will be right next to you. They are true velcro dogs and extremely affectionate
@@lilypeate5601 Agreed✌
As an owner of 3 Dobermans (over the course of various times), thank you for a good video that presented the positives and drawbacks of owning the Doberman. So unfair to the dogs that are 'given up' by their owners. Hope you do more videos
i'm a tiny 4'9 girl and i'm soooo wanting to have a dobie for protection when going anywhere alone
you're too small to have a dog that you can't control.
@@stockholmpublishings2937 yeah, and aside from that children should not have dogs anyway. Maybe when you become a woman you should get one.
You have a very nice speaking voice. Your dobermans are gorgeous.
Careful selection, training, good food, fresh water, love and attention equals a wonderful Dobermann experience.
I treated mine like a high value girlfriend. Please no jokes about bestiality. Good food, plenty of attention and would take her out to show her off.
@@Jay-lc1vo exactly.
Awesome looking Dobermans. My Dobie is 9 years and still full of energy.
Great home defense.
Nice video, it was a pleasure to watch.
Do you find that by having two dobermann’s, they will be less focused on the owner and form less of a bond??? Are they too distracted by each other?
If you get 2 puppies at the same time you will have that issue. It’s best to raise one puppy at a time or you will find that your dog becomes doggy. They seek attention from other dogs instead of you. When they are older it doesn’t matter as much because by then you should have a strong bond with your dog.
Great point!
I used to take my dobermann on "walks" where I rode on my gokart too lol. We both loved it!
Lmaoo
7:46 I couldn't stop laughing!
Thank you so much for posting this video! I plan on getting a Dobey and I've already picked out a name. I'm a bit nervous as I've had other pets, but never a dog and my family in Jamaica didn't keep dogs in the house. I'd like to have two in the future, but for now - I am going to get one and I am so excited. Especially as a young woman who's actively in nature - I need the protection so I am grateful for my choice.
To have a great Doberman you have to raise them with you in your house.Don't put them outside to sleep at night.I 've had 5 of these great dogs and I lost my Baron aon 7/13/22,a beautiful red male who was sired by a Hungarian world champ,named 'Seper Fidelis I'm In Charge'.My Baron was the greatest friend you could ever have.He always slept in my room and was very protective of me.I'm 66 and used to walk a lot at night and having him with me always made me feel safe.I wish you the very best of luck with your best friend when you get one! What name have you picked out? I have had 4 red males and still have a 9 year old female fawn in color named Ellie,she is a real sweetie and misses Baron as much as I do.
AHhh I love dobermans I'm planning on getting one when I move out but I wanna make sure I provide them with everything they need
good for you. treat them with love and respect and it will be one of the best thing you ever do in your life...
They have a LOT of energy!
@@kendallwright7222 oh god yes lol
Im the proud daddy of good princess Dobulons ❤️, we called her Dobie , the most beautiful lady, loyal friend and most fearless warrior and protector , ever , it's been 35 years since I've seen her and I miss her terribly every day ❤️
Our European Doberman is so similar to your male pup! Love it. Great video.
I never understand why people wanna say because they’re a male and they’re out their sexual maturity they’ll bark and growl at other dogs
That just shows to me that you don’t have complete control of your dog I have a three-year-old Doberman and he will never even show up to another dog unless I tell him to do it he will not do it
He’s not fixed but I am the leader and that’s the way it’s supposed to be and anytime if your dog growls or barks in another dog means that you don’t have the ultimate control and they are big they are athletic and they are dangerous
So I don’t blame it on sexual maturity. You need to take control that dog when he does that bang. You’re on top of me he’ll kick into the side doesn’t have to be hard has to break his attention make him sit down he wait you own him by the year you have to just give him a little tug that’s all that Doberman they’re smart .
I wanted to get a Rottweiler but I’ve always liked Dobermans and now I want a Doberman cause they are much more intelligent and better. My fear was that they would be to wild as a big dog but they seem so smart I think it may be good to get one
Get to know the breed before you commit. Note that females usually weigh in at about 30 pounds less than the males and a little shorter if size is a concern.
i’m getting a doberman pup in a few days been doing research for a couple months so excited
When I was a kid we had a lovely red and rust dobie - he was a giant derp sweetheart - he was a huge dope. He loved everybody though he was very good w/his protective behavior (he’d place himself between me and older persons he didn’t know, particularly men, when I was a kid - but he never behaved aggressively or acted out)
Rust Dobermans might be the best looking dogs in the world imo
In the canine world, it is often the size of the fight in a dog rather than the size of the dog in the fight.
Think of a Doberman as a 6'9" Good Time Charlie until it is "Go Time" then he is your worst-case scenario
For me having a Dobie was WONDERFUL. I once had the daughter of Ch Damasyn Troysen back in 1972. She was tuff but also so gentle. She loved me to sing to her.
Love the breed and dogs! Great video!
Wanted to get Dobermans myself...but the since of our home wouldn't be the right size for Dobermans. So we got ourselves 2 midget pinscher. Their close to 8 years old now...the male however thinks he's a Doberman considering his attitude!
Once again. Great vid!
Mini Pins or German Pinschers?
Like that line in Top Gun - - Your attitude is writing checks that your body size can't cash.
Thank you for this video !!! I just got my blue Doberman for valentines ❤
Anyone who has had an experience having dobbies in the family will remain hooked to them. They are the most adorable, goofiest, most sensitive, loving and loyal babies.
I do have a Male, he is 8 months old ...
Very Energetic ....
Lots of fun loving ....
Loves playing and running....
She totally rocks...I saw that she has left her boy perfectly natural. I LOVE her for that..even though I know its her decision to make. My girl has the cherry eye but she is very happy. I feel like unless you are showing for the most part we should spare our innocent beasts needless interventions. I am not against docking etc...but my preference is the least invasive for the animals the better their quality of lives are.
Ive had two wonderful c sections so I know surgery....but i am hesitant to alter my girl in any way...I may never alter her...she seems happy and fine the way she is. Just don't let anyone guilt you into getting your pets cut...even routine surgeries can go wrong so its really a personal decision we all must make after doing research about it and considering your pros and cons. :)
Agreed!
I had a female Doberman and she was the sweetest dog in the world. All the kids in the neighborhood would come over and ask to play with Misty. If she could talk, she would invite anybody in for a pizza and a pop she would never hurt anybody. Now she’s in doggy heaven.
One of the many breeds I would love to try
I wonder what that movie looks like in your head
great episode! love the fact its a documentary type of video!
I love my two Dobermans , I have two females and this definitely describes them lol
Zeke thank you and please keep the Doberman videos coming. You are welcome to visit Arkansas to see how a Razorback live with his Doberman.
Me:watching a doberman video
My great pyrenees:currently sleep and farting
Me:I'm getting you a brother😂
Pyr: Nooooo brother for me🤣
That Go-Cart run is funny. Lol! I love it!
I use my Trek MTB with a 10ft leash to exercise my 8month old Euro-D.
I make sure that he jogs/runs on the grass to hopefully prevent future joint issues.
It works for us.
For a dog that big it’s surprising to see how fast and agile Doberman’s are
One of the fastest and most agile.
greetings from Serbia, l love your Dobies, im getting mine in a few weeks , cant wait
G'day from Australia! Well done with your Dobies! You do literally word for word the exact same things I do with mine! They are exactly like toddlers but with fangs lol. Best dogs ever. Bravo. I'd love to get a couple imported from Serbia but Australia has very strict quarantine laws. May I ask as to the breeders name?
Hahaha the head on the keyboard 😅 Goofy will sit there waiting for loving, no matter how long it takes
I have a minpin. Love him to death. He's my little buddy.
Awesome breed! I love min pins! I had one too. He influenced me to finally get a dobie
ya i had a minpin named scrappy and he was awsome.!
Beautiful dogs.
Thanks for sharing 👍
OH, I LOVE THIS VIDEO!🐾☺😘
they are amazing pups be carefull with them sliding every where its hard on there joints and can cause issues later in life
I am motivated now to get my TWO!👍😘
I love the fact that your dog is not well socialized with people or other dogs but you still decide to protection train him.
you’re a great owner! nice to see :)
Dobermans are awesome dogs and probably the only large breed dog I would ever own again… Although they love the whole human family, they seem too attached to a single person in that family… Also a great dog with children of all ages… It would be a good idea to get a golf cart to run the dogs... A standard golf cart goes 12 mph and a Doberman can easily keep that pace up for a few miles
A golf cart?! That’s your advice, get a fking golf cart ??
@@jesusbarraza3050 apparently you did not watch the whole video… If you did you would have seen that she runs them with go-carts now that go 30 mph... A golf cart would be much safer and can be made to go 25 mph with little effort, they are easier to get in and out of and you can get street legal kits for them… So yeah, that was my effing advice... I also have some advice for you, but I will reserve myself because I can see that you don’t have the mental capacity to understand
Hahhahahahahahaahahah
I get mine on Sunday and I'm so excited
My doberman just sleeps goes on walks and barks when another dog barks even though he doesn't know y he's barking for lol
Really liked the video. My Dobe girl is very fond of the big screen. Nose "touched" the remote to watch Star Trek and All Creatures Great and Small. She also likes Dr Who.
I dont know if this has been covered, but maybe a video on purchasing dogs from overseas. I find it to be a scary process, and any tips would be good to hear from other peoples experience.
mainly german pinscher was used for creating the doberman, also greyhound and rottweiler, hunting breeds and so on but not the manchester terrier that is often confused with the german pinscher
Those are some cool ass dog names
We have our third Doberman. They are the very best dogs.
They are so cute! I have a one of my own and it definitely acts like that!🤣😅
I just got a 9 week female she is so sweet.
I understand to have a dog that can protect you but I can not stand how humans try to make them so evil. I had a Dobie, he was loyal,friendly, took care of his family but I NEVER used aggressiveness to train him
Hollywood didn't help the Doberman's reputation.
Iffy is the best way to describe them around other dogs
Thanks for this, they are my favorite dog breed and I've always wanted one once I own my own home , I have a almost 4 year old and with my research they are incredibly great with kids. However, would you recommend one for a small family?
NO
@@vikingdogmanship thanks, I grew up with Pitbulls and a Rottweiler but they're both very different then Dobermans
@@Black_Magic_Woman Im sorry, you should do what you think you can handle. If you have had rotties and pits im sure you can handle a dobie. For me it would Depend on the childrens age, experince and how much time you can put in training. I had a family og 5 who contacted me for a JRT puppy. They assured me that both parents had grown up with dogs, and the children was "old" enough to learn how to behave around a puppy. They had done extensive research and i had a good feeling when they picked up the puppy. It took a month until they returned him to me, having 3 children up and out of bed in the morning, getting dressed and fed, getting everyone to school and going to work and pick up children etc all this can take a toll on a family when bringing a high energy dog into the house and everything that comes along with potty training, teething and everything else. Big or Small, they need alot of learning and guidance from the day you get them. I offcourse took the dog back and found a place that had grown kids, and the parents had all the time in the world for hiking trips and training a puppy. I will never again sell a dog to a family with children under the age 10. All dogs can be great family dogs, if you put in the time and effort. To me it is a life style. I wish you all the best looking for your future dog, no matter what breed you end up with✌ Have a great day
How about going for a miniature pincher my uncle had 2 a male n female there great with family
Dobermans are incredible with kids, but you really need to teach the kids boundaries.
