I think you are mistaken. European Dobermans appear larger because of the heavier bone and weight set. Besides, larger is not better. With larger size comes health complications. You want a dog that is of proper height and weight.
Post some pics!!I actually have come across dogs bred in Germany (recently!) on breeders' sites that look like Mr. Dobermann's dog, the only difference was these were a little bigger.
Larger they become less agile as well.Part of the Doberman is their speed,larger slows them down.
oh but i don't really have any dobermans right now,but 2 times i've seen puppies of american dobermans at a happiness is pets store located in the south suburb of chicago in orland park,illinois,at a store close to my house,it is call alsip nursery home where i found a full grown doberman pincher he was a boy a male i did how ever took a picture of him though but i erased them all too bad though
Girl,you have much to learn.Sorry if that comes off as a bit smart ass,but true.You are however at a great site to learn about the breed.
yeah is that bad being a smart ass
yeah but i'll tell you why i love american dobermans i just think because of the colors,ears,sizes that is why the european doberman might actually be more better,but i like both i guessLarger they become less agile as well.Part of the Doberman is their speed,larger slows them down.
Wan't a German dog with black and rust but want large? Get a Rottie.
oh wow maybe i can be a smart ass too,i'll find somebody or a dog training place or center to trained my new doberman
That is why Dobermans deemed as "giant" "large" "king" or "warlock" are discussed in bad terms by those that know and truly love the breed. Not only does the larger size go against the standard set forth by the parent breed club but the larger a dog gets the more strain on his joints, tendons, muscles, bones, heart, etc. As Gelcoater said the larger they get the harder time they have moving as they should and performing the job they were originally created for. The standard is set as it is because that is the size, look, and temperament that is ideal for the breed. When you deviate too far from that standard you run into problems.
oh so the king dobermans have more health issues then,even if that's true i still love them well despite the health difficults
Please, love the breed but love and support the right ones. Why would you want to support a breeder who produces a dog that will break down at an early age and possibly even die young? How is that fair to the dogs or to those that love them and will have to part with them far too soon? I hope that you will browse around the forums and use this chance to educate yourself on all aspects of the breed.
