I’m looking for some advice from experienced owners of the wonderful breed. My boyfriend (Michael) and I have been in love with Dobies for a long time. Info about us: We both work full time but Michael runs his own business and can therefore be fully flexible in terms of working from home. We...

Hello, first time Doberman mom, I recently got my puppies ears cropped. Surgery went well, her sutures got removed but now we are posting. Her vet posted her ears yesterday and today in the morning she ripped the posting off. I’m not sure if this is how they post ears at the begging and then...

Hi everyone, This is our second dobie and we're still learning. We got our first dobie from the breeder at 12 weeks and he was already healed up and posted from his crop. He was very tolerant of our posting. We got our newest addition at a younger age and we took him to the ear cropping...

Hello all, I felt I needed to make an account after reading a few posts about this. As the title says, I'll be a first time Dobie Dad coming up here in just a few short days. I have recently been doing some [over]thinking about how I will be able to make my dog feel better while I am working...

First off, I know that my dogs lack of proper training and misbehavior is 100% on me and my husband. It's very humbling/embarrassing to ask for help with this and I am genuinely trying to find a way to remedy my mistakes, so please keep that in mind when framing your responses. That being...

Hello, so I found this spot on my dog, about 2/3 weeks ago?! It started off just as red irritated skin bump?! Hair was still on it then, Sorta looked like a ingrown hair or pimple, but no puss inside(tried popping as she gets ingrown hairs and pimples occasionally) so just left it for about a...

Hi, everyone! I apologize if this is maybe out of place or frowned upon.... I'm basically brand new to this forum and the Doberman world in general 😅... Ive been doing a ton of research about what it takes to own a Doberman, as I've been in love with the breed my entire life (my aunt and uncle...

Hello, So I was wondering if any of you have experienced this or something similar and what you did/ have any recommendations on what worked and maybe more on natural side less chemicals. To the story: my girl is now 5 months old and about a week ago we noticed her scratching her posts at the...

So long story short I’ve been terrible about posting, haven’t tried in something like 8mos and now my boy is 13mos. One ear stands and one flops. That one has been flopping for the whole 8mos, though his cartilage is still insanely soft and he can make that ear stand if it’s perked up. I stopped...

Hey all, so I hate to be that guy beating a dead horse as i'm sure these questions have been asked 100 times. But I recently got my first Doberman "Senna" (European/American Mix, 15 Weeks old now) This is my first time dealing with cropped ears and the whole posting thing. Her crop (I was told...

we are getting our beautiful girl on Oct 1. This will be one day after getting tail docked and ear cropped. She will be two days short of 8 weeks. The reason for a late tail dock is because we are from Canada where no vets will perform the ear crop or tail docking so the breeder does take the...

Hi folks, sorry it's been a while. Everyone is doing well though, Roxy is still going strong! We recently adopted an 11 month old Dobie. He is a great dog, good with people and dogs. A knob on leash walking (but what teenage Dobemann isn't! lol) But my main problem is getting him to chill out...

Hello everyone i just got my doberman puppies ears cropped yesterday 3-9-20 i picked him up from the vet today 3-10-20 when i picked him up i noticed that the vet had already posted his ears i dont know if this is safe to do i need help!

Hi guys, From the research I've done it looks like the doberman breed is severely inbred, as breeders are churning out puppies for aesthetics and neglecting longevity and health. As so, it looks as if the gene pool is rapidly shrinking (at least in Europe) with only a handful of kennels...

I am looking for any advice with a new issue we are experiencing with our one year old female dobie. Suddenly after 6 months of great sleep schedules, she is awaking between 5-6am to eat and go outside. Nothing has changed in our schedule and she awakes from a what seems like a dead sleep...

I need some help picking my new little girl. I am getting a fawn female and I get to choose between two. They are both healthy and absolutely beautiful. One is the runt and one is regular size. According to the breeder the runt is a little spit fire. I am learning towards the runt but don't...

Hi, I have a five month old European doberman that I got when he was 3 months old. In these past few weeks he has developed a really bad biting problem where he snarls, growls, barks and bites people in the house, especially my sister. Me ( the dogs owner ) and my sister are the main targets for...

I noticed what looked like a swollen scab? on my dobermans muzzle that appeared out of nowhere yesterday. I didn’t think much of it at first cause Zoe is pretty clumsy, I thought she might have just scratched herself on something. Today it looks more of a moist/oozing wound? Like it’s getting...

Hey all, so we’re 2 weeks in to doberpup ownership and things have been going so well (after the initial ear freakouts) except in ONE area. Although I am definitely not new to crate training, it seems like we’re failing at this part big time! Ive had three (shepherd mixes and a dobie-lab x) pups...

My puppy is non stop itching, he is on a prescription diet right now so I can't put anything in his food or give him anything at the moment. Is there something I can put on him to give him some kind of relief? I feel so bad for him! He is a fawn as well.
