You didn’t read what I wrote then. I said...he actively avoids fights. NOT overly aggressive was also in there if you read it. I’m not new to the dog world.

Usually it’s less of my fear as I’m a very calm and centered person. That said he KNOWS bad people. I’m gonna be starting training 5 days a week here soon so I think I might get a handle on it. 10 months old FORWARD -> Does the protection instinct get stronger? How much so.

I have had a few malinois, a few mastiffs, a staffy, German shepherd and grew up with dogs in my house hold. I am NEW to Dobermans. I am not used to the highly territorial and protective nature of the dog. May I mark that he is not overly aggressive and will even actively avoid dog fights at the...

I did not want a huge dobie. I wanted a 75-80lb dobie but he won’t stop growing. Confirmed with my two trainers and the vet that his body fat is fine. I’m hoping he stops growing soon. The vet says based on how open his growth plates are that he should be 110-115 lean by about 3 years old. I...

I think “forced” running would probably be bad. I’m talking about dogs being dogs and running and playing all day. When the dog is done, they are done.

I feel like your understanding of canines is limited then. When do wolves for example...ever stop moving? They will go many miles every single day even as pups and there is no issues with their joints because of said exercise. I think IMPACT is different from movement. IMPACT I imagine could...

The dog sprints non stop 2-3 hours a day and has massive muscle tone. In the former part of my post I mentioned that the vet determined his body fat was good. She even mentioned he’s nearly below ideal body fat levels. It’s just all muscle. He’s nearly as thick as my fathers mastiff in width and...

The whole first thing I wrote. Yes.

My original questions still aren’t answered if anyone can help? :)

My Thanos baby is 10 months even, 28inch +, and weighs NINETY SIX POUNDS LEAN. The vet says his body fat is at a perfect level as well. He appears to have very little on his body. I call him my little moose and sack of meat. He’s been still growing too. Doesn’t seem to be stopping, only slowing...

LOL try saying Isotonic Hydrogel 5 times fast. :P

Cash is not a dominant male at all. Thanos definitely is but he’s sweet too. They fight constantly but never draw blood. They know who the Alpha is though and THATS where the money is. I love my dogs and treat them like gold, but they know who they face if they decide to get shitty. If Thanos...

Something that I found is that Malinois are the epitomy of loyalty and that Dobies seem to be the epitomy of lovying their human. Similar concepts, different wiring. Malinois will die for you because they make it their rule that they must in their head, a dobie will die for because he has all...

I have stories about my mal that are so crazy people won’t believe me. So I don’t try much anymore. But the are genuine psychopaths to the core. Mostly bad pets, great dogs though. Very difficult to live with. Very amicable to your whims, but you need to plan to be injured by them in some way...

Derma gel?...

HAHAHAHAHA. LIKE A GSD. THATS FUNNY. If you put the drive and energy of a racehorse, the sensitivity of a psychic, the prey drive of a starving wolf, the psychotic nature of a badger, the speed and gracefulness of jaguar, the intellect of a monkey and you might have a picture of what the...

How did she rip her paw? She’s quite the stoic looking creature for being 66 pounds. He gained 10 pounds after 10 months old. How tall was he?

There’s the malinois as well. I’ll get pics of the dobie later.

I’ve done advanced obedience training with my malinois and basic obedience with my dobie. I’m working my dobie up to my malinois slowly. I’ve taught the mal like 50+ commands.

How big is your boy now?
