I never had a problem with any of my Dobermans and our children or anyones else's children for that matter. I don't know if it is a scent thing babies and puppies do smell different from their adult counterparts. My dobermans were always very gentle and affectionate with our children and were...

So sorry to hear this DCM is devastating. Prada has a loving and experienced owner who will see that she gets the best of care. Keeping you in our prayers. MR

Every doberman I have owned (Maja is number 6) has pretty much mirrored my response to guest and strangers alike. If it is a friend ,family or expected guest and I am happy and welcoming so are they. If they are unexpected or strangers and I am clearly suspicious, leery and unwelcoming...ditto...

Congratulations to both of you! You must be especially proud of the ROM! MR

While I agree with Ravens suggestions.. A few thoughts... Generally dogs pace for a reason. Pent up energy due to lack of exercise, they need to relieve themselves, to relive boredom or anxiety. Also consider.. Has he out grow his crate and is it still comfortable? We had a similar problem with...

I agree that quality breeders don't let you pick your pup especially if they don't know you.. When we got Maja after a 18 month search for "right" breeder I left it up to her to match us with the right pup. This was long before the internet and to acquire quality dogs you had to be referred or...

That is true but most of the breeders I have come across charge more, often want to co own and campaign their "Show quality" puppies. Every breeder is different. Well that is the thinking & a widely accepted theory that at 8 weeks they are mini versions of what they will grow to be. But...

When ever I read post like this I always wonder "if one of your children or other family member started ,bullying, threatening, and intimidating a weaker family member what would you do? Would you allow it? Would you put up with it until some gets hurt? Or would you put a stop to immediately and...

Just my opinion but grading litters is at best an educated guess/ wishful thinking on the part of the breeders and a marketing ploy to charge more for one puppy over the other. When I lived in Florida I was a member of the Fla West Coast DP Club for 20+ years. During that time I was lucky and...

How exciting! Disclaimer :I have no problem with the confirmation ring. It is the breeders arena and I have the upmost respect for the all of the hard work, knowledge and passion it takes to breed champions. Thank you for all that you do and for our wonderful dogs! That said I personally...

Congratulations on the new puppy! You have a whole different Doberman experience ahead of you. Maja is also NA x Euro bred too. (My 1st) I have to say she is very different from the 5 NA dobermans I have had before. The breeder told/warned me they are very different and she was not...

Sending our deepest condolences My heart breaks for you & your family. DCM takes far too many & too soon it is so devastating. MR

Welcome and congratulations! They grow up fast so enjoy the puppy stage. There may be times you feel exhausted just remind yourself a year from now you will wonder where did my puppy go? MR

Recently I was going thru boxes of old photos and photo albums of my years showing in the confirmation ring back in the 80's & 90's . So many great memories of the wonderful dogs & people that have blessed my life over years. Going thru the photos I realized that not one of the puppies that I...
