I will look into her! Thank you!

Thank you! I have found another breeder that is on the DPCA breeder referral list and have contacted them instead. My gut just told me something was off about that other breeder and I don’t want to take a chance. Thank you for your time and input

Hi I am looking for a female Doberman for service work and was wondering if anyone has any experience with a breeder that is located in West Wareham Massachusetts. I found them on AKC and the parents are health tested. Dynamic Dobermans is the title but I'm not finding anything on here or...

Lol I've seen that video on Facebook before. If that's the first time introducing them to wheelchairs and other mobility aids they started super late lol

Sorry haven't been on here in a while. I am a raiser for a service dog organization currently and am working on creating a new branch of the organization that I will be in charge of. I would include an animal behaviorist in my search for a dog as well as throughout the course of all their...

Thank you for your feedback! I figured it would be different from dog to dog but kept coming across people saying that it's like a fact of every single dog. I appreciate your input. When I read that the Euros are more driven it made me think they would be more suited for the job because I...

I posted a little bit ago about training a Doberman to be a service dog for myself. I was wondering what has been your experience with differences between American and European Dobes in terms of temperament and drive? After reading a few articles I am feeling a bit lost in terms of which dog...

This exact thing is why I don’t go to certain places around me for training anymore. The places would be perfect have awesome distractions and different smells, people, surfaces, foods, etc. but the amount of tiny yipping dogs at the end of a retractable leash is absurd. The dog I’m raising was...

I totally get what you mean about people being rude and not understanding especially with the dog I’m still raising because she wants to meet anyone who wants to meet her (if I let her). Dealing with the public is one of the worst parts about raising a service dog because they basically always...

Thank you so much everyone for all of your replies and all of the advice! I’ll be doing more research and looking around on the forum to find out more but this was definitely a super informative start!

Thank you so much for your reply! From what everyone on here is saying it sounds like maybe a male would be a better choice in terms of bonding and being my service dog as long as I make sure to be the one in charge. Would that be something the breeder could help determine? I’m thinking possibly...

I figured that especially watching training videos the focus for a lot of the dogs is incredible. Would I be wrong in assuming the more bonded you are as a team the better the focus would be? I feel that plays a huge role.

I mostly need it for psychiatric reasons grounding, dpt, blocking in crowds, leading to exits if I have a panic attack and can’t find an exit, or finding a specific person in the same situation, and medication reminders. I may end up needing more in the future due to some unrelated...

Do you think the females bond better with males and vice versa or just a depends on the dog type thing or is it just that females tend not to get as attached in general? Thank you!

For what I need I think head on a swivel would be helpful. As long as I can have a command for them to focus on me when needed. When I say to block out the rest I mean more that I don’t want to have a dog that is looking for attention from others if that makes sense. I like that they are a one...

I mean any dog that is protective of his people is going to get concerned when they think something bad is going to happen. My boyfriend and I don’t get into giant screaming matches either it’s a very hypothetical question lol but definitely not something to rule out when thinking about a dog...

Awesome thank you for your input! I haven’t come across anything saying there is but is there a difference in temperament or intelligence depending on color? I know in labs it usually is yellow are smartest then black then chocolate so was just wondering if that sort of thing has any effect in...

I was looking into Prima actually when I was looking at breeders. My boyfriend stressed that he didn’t want the dog to end up becoming protective towards him if that makes sense? Like we get in an argument about something and it’s so protective of me that it attacks him or barks at him for me...

Hi anyone that sees this! I’m new to this site and I’m looking for opinions and advice! I’ve been doing lots of research on breeds that could be a service dog prospect. I stumbled upon dobies and just fell in love with the idea of a Doberman service dog for myself. I love the low maintenance...
