Not in my opinion. My euro was ready at a moments notice to do training, and (what is known now as frisbee dock diving) back then it was fun no rules but incredible stamina. Handled heat well, but he never tired, you had to give him his commands to stand down because he was so focused on his job just to get him rested.Okay. What I was wondering about was would I be able to tire my big-boy Euro Dobe out more easily.
He will likely tire you out quicker. Lol. I don't know really it's subjective on the dog I think.Okay. What I was wondering about was would I be able to tire my big-boy Euro Dobe out more easily.
Exhibit A. One largish Euro and one smallish American. Same position after about a 15 minute run at 10 am, which is about 4 hours now.
Now, does that work in your favor? Well, depends on what you do with your dog and what you want out of your dog. Competing or want to be active yourself? You definitely want to slowly build up their endurance... but be warned! That means it will take even longer to tire them out as that endurance builds. Stay at home pet where you want them to simply CHILL out? Exercise them about 45 min to an hour a day give or take depending on the dog.
I would guess part Euro and part NA. In the 7 1/2 month headshot I see NA conformation lines, but the position of the lead around the neck might influence that. Her head in profile looks Euro to me, due to the substantial-looking snout due mostly to those flews. The body doesn't hold may clues for me (admittedly quite far from an expert).
I find that very true with my dogs too. We as helpful members always say to exercise them to keep our pets out of trouble, but in my experience, there is a balance for that. If I exercise them as much as their "will" will go, then I'm only building the stamina up in my dog. Like an athlete on 4 legs
That's a very good possibility. In the side shot of her head she has very similar looks to Demelza and she's all Euro, but I love those nice chiseled features in any Doberman.
What I've found is that the day after we do an unusually high amount of exercise my Dobe comes back with more energy than normal.
So that's the answer? I was wondering if you were seeking an answer, or seeking to see what people would guess.

The Euro girl example pic you provided is awesome in my view. I will say this though: I would choose a bit less in the flew area. Generous flew can make a dog look tougher and more substantial, but the Dobe was not meant to have too much. Some Dobes wind up looking too Great Dane-like with that.
My baby's Momma. 
Simply stunning girl you have there!
