    Doberman traits changing over the years

    Really enjoying reading this topic. I do not know the backgrounds on all the Dobermans I have owned, none were registered and all were adopted. I am on my 4th one. I do know that my previous 3 were nothing like the one I have now. First Doberman was a red, 1989. He was 6 months old when I...

    Nick needs help swimming

    Lump on paw (infection?)

    Just went through this with my guy. Vet actually took one off, (he had several) and turned out to be papilloma virus- he was on antiboitics for a few weeks and they all went away- he had them on 3 feet. So far none have returned- that was several months ago
