Hello from S. Florida, I thought it best to write on here and find out if anyone has some advice or possible insight on my dogs recent behavior. So our 26 month old male Doberman son, Winston, lives with my wife and I, our 9yr old daughter, 13 month old son, as well as 3 cats. We have had him...

I've found that Kong products are very good. Basically anything made of rubber and that preferably doesn't squeak is fantastic. Most everything can get destroyed in a day or so. On a side note; does anyone know of or would recommend a heavy duty industrial strength pet bed that can resist being...

Speaking as a fellow S.FL native and a Dobe dad of only a few months I've learned that the best times to walk are early mornings and dusk. I do walk mid day sometimes but I keep it relegated to only about 15 minutes. The sidewalks around my neighborhood don't get extremely hot and so long as you...

People still talk about Warlock's down here in S.FL today. Usually though they refer to dogs that have Doberman mother's that were bred with male Rottweiler's.

No, I mean it's actually monitored & controlled. So in order to gain access you first need to bring proof of rabies vaccination and shots. Then you are provided with a key card which you must pay for. Access to the dog park is controlled by electronic gate that you must use the key card to get...

I take him to 2 parks. One is a private park inside our neighborhood that nobody ever visits it seems and the other is a public park that is moderated and controlled by the county. I tend to use the private park for training and to let him run around playing ball with him.

That sounds horrible. Can't imagine what goes through people's minds thinking that they can just leave their dogs to be unsupervised.

Does anyone out of curiosity know at what age Dobermans are when their protective nature fully matures?

Thank you very much. When we had finally settled on a breeder they notified us that they had the tails docked at a few days old but that they left the ear cropping up to the parents of the homes they were going to. Unfortunately there is more of a negative stigma when it comes to dogs and...

We live in west broward county.

Sooo I think a common theme I'm hearing is something about dog parks? And how they're bad? Ha, I kid. But I never worried too much to be honest. The park is gate controlled which you need to obtain from the office and in order to get one you need to show proof of shots and rabies vaccine...

Check it out when you get the chance. Would appreciate any input you may have. Temperament in Doberman Puppies

Thanks! I've gone ahead and posted a thread asking about puppy temperament. Appreciate the info :-)

Hello everyone! I'm the proud pop of an 8 month old Doberman Puppy named Winston. My Wife and I have had him since he was 9 weeks old and we have often wondered, debated, and then researched questions we would ask each other about our K9 son as he continued to grow. Of late the main question...

Yeah, I saw a pretty good albeit brief summary from the Doberman Pinscher club of America that mentioned the same thing. I'm just curious to see if he might gain another inch or 2 at the shoulders since he has 4 more months to go till he's a year old. PS. How might I start a new discussion on...
