What Do You Consider The Most Annoying, Loving Etc.. Thing A Doberman Does Compared To Other Breeds

How about jamming his head against your jaw bruising you and chipping 2 teeth....let's just say I was less than thrilled about it and he knows it sulking in his crate. Either he needs to learn to settle down or he needs to go to a new home where they can handle him.....this is about the straw that breaks my back....I'm getting too old and unhealthy for this crap.....sorry for the rant.

Easy solution. Keep their water outside in a bucket except in cold weather.

Yeah, I keep a large water bowl outside at the house but when I'm at my g/f's apt its an absolute mess :(. Other than that I love everything about my doberman. I'm lucky to have one that doesn't whine. Speaking of whiny dogs...huskies are the absolute worst. My roommate's husky is a loud whiny brat.

OMG how I know that head butting.. yeah he knocked my glasses off one day while I was watching tv and nearly broke a tooth.. My hubby also gets fed up with the jerks of his head, they are so strong.. but please don't give up on your pup.. One day (is what I tell myself) One day he will grow up and all this will be a distant memory. ;)
Its ok to vent and rant about stuff, most of the time we have all been through it.:complain:

I love my Dobie but have had German Shepherds most of my life I find them to be much easier to handle. Anyhow enough of my venting..I know many will dissagree wtih me but that is fine I can handle it..hahaha Maybe its an age thing for me I dunno.. :pullhair:cuz I ain't getting any younger either and there are days......well n/m lol


Let me tell you a lil story:My Mom adored GS cuz she had one as a baby and that is all she ever wanted.. So it began when I was a baby and was still going strong when I left home.. All the GS she wanted had to be pure, had to be female and she named all of them after her very first one.. Patsy.. Let me tell you there were quite a few Patsies in my parents lives along with a zillion other animals.. hahaha I used to tease her relentlessly about the name.. Bless her heart she passed a few years after her last Patsy at 80 years young... Anyhow I hope this little story made you smile..
I've lots more, so stay tuned..hehehe
The love they give makes it all worthwhile in the end.....hang in there:rolleyes:
 
I love this thread . All of the above and it must be the dog snot that gets to me .... Oh and the talking Chinese when she sees anything !!! Nose poking is also on my list . :eekwtf:
 
I don't know if this is common for a doberman to do or not, but Hans throws things at me. If he wants me to scrape the marrow in the center of a long bone for him, he throws it at me. If he wants me to put treats inside his treat ball, he throws it at me. He's pretty good at it too! LOL
 
This thread has me rolling!! I guess a lot of the weird things Dobie does are common with the Doberman! I was thinking I had he strangest dog ever!!
She flops on me in bed.. I lay down, she turns in circles, then I swear she throws herself on me!
She hits me with her nose.
She punches/donkey kicks with her feet.
She "talks" to me and cries/whines when she doesn't get her way.
She sets her slobbery bones on me.
She squeeks toys in my face, sets them on me & bites the hell out of them (watch your skin!!)
I swear she understands me when we talk!

She really is quite the character & the closest to human I've ever met!

I also wanted a GSD, but the shedding totally turned me off. If, at any point I was able to get over that I would get a GSD from HERE (video post below). I really really REALLY wish I could find a doberman breeder that did this!!

 
Yep shedding they do....... went to Mom's and always came home with a winter coat, nomatter what season..lol and Mom was a good housekeeper... That is an adorable video btw.. and you don't have to post their ears..lol omg now I'm gonna cry I miss them all so much.. ok nuff said, (giving my head a shake) I am now going to hug Kato... seeya all later!!!!!!!!!
 
My friend has always had German Shepherds. Her 2 both died around the same time my Rott/Mastiff died a little over a year ago. She got another about 6 months before I got Dobie. Were always comparing notes. They do have a lot of similarities, but Dobie puppies do seem to be more work! We will have to see how they compare when both are 2 years old. I wouldn't trade Dobie for anything, though..... At this moment! Lol
 
Great thread!!
The things I love:

His loud groans,
the way he backs up to the couch every night for a back rub,
the nose poke,
the way he loves playing ball,
that he doesn't lick me,
that he is photogenic,
putting his whole face in the water dish to get a drink,
loves the chickens, &
the way that he "talks" to me.
i'm sure theirs more but i'm just not thinking of it!

Annoying things:
the way he scares the shit out of you when he hears something and
the aftermath of putting his whole face in the water
 
The energy when you come home.
How they want to be under the covers
How they back up on the couch with just the front feet on the floor
Wonder why I have a door on the master bathroom.

Barking so everyone in the world knows the queen is outside and they should listen.
Punching me when they find me hiding (paw in the eye)
I can not do anything to get the energy level up on my puppy without being bitten (still no self control) he tries though.
 
Hi and welcome Judi! You should start an intro thread in the intro section and tell us more about you and your dogs.

Another thing I forgot is when they "lose" a toy a million time under something they can't reach and expect you to keep getting it for them.
 
Dozer is only 5 months old but in this short time he has just ab all if these characteristics!!! Got to say I LOVE THEM ALL!! even the nose poke in my butt :lmao:
 
I'd have to say the most annoying and most loving thing that Dobermans do, is the Velcro Thang! Sometimes I just have to tell him to 'go lay down!' because he's in my way or nosing my hand when I'm trying to relax with a cup of coffee! :confused-alt: But then on the other hand, being velcro and wanting to be my side, is one of the best things about having a dog! Why wouldn't you want your dog with you?! So that attachment is, in my opinion, one of the most loving things about a Doberman. :love::love:

Whining is a close runner-up for annoyance though! :pullhair:
 
Most annoying, whining, constantly busy and can't just exist unless he's passed out or has something to keep him busy lol and the relentless barking.

Loving!!! Always by my side, the nose pokes, the annoying yet adorable need for attention( when he's getting a chest rub and I stop with will push on me to remind me to keep rubbing, or if I take my hand away he is in my face about it lol.) the way he comes over and squeaks his toys on me when I'm cooking dinner, laying his head on me while relaxing in bed, the dobe smile, making sure I don't fall in the toilet lol his relationship with Deegan and Boo, how he just knows when I'm having a bad day, and everything :)
 
Cody gets excited when I get home, of course. In the excitement, he will jump up and touch my nose with his. Always very soft, but intimidating to have an 80 pound dog launching at your face. Not so bad now.
His endless need for exercise is difficult to meet.
He is an incredible dog!! We have had many Boxers, love them, but they get overheated easily in the warmer weather.
