I wasn't able to use all of them since they just lost too much clarity after sizing them up to the correct size but thank you all for your contest entries.

Hello! Apologies if this is oddly formatted or somehow placed in the wrong discussion. I've never actually made a forum post anywhere before lmao....

I was just wondering if any of you happen to have any form of clinical depression and if a Doberman has helped out in any way with that? and, to those who don't have it, do you suppose Dobermans can still live full, happy lives despite their owners occasionally going through that? I figured i'd ask because i haven't seen the topic discussed much and i'm curious as to people's experiences/thoughts.

Especially so since i was considering potentially getting a Doberman in future and i'm depressed haha

Sorry it took a while and sorry I couldn't use all of the shots but I just couldn't enlarge a few of them enough to work. Make sure January is your start month or they will start it on the month you order it.

Hmmmm......................Yep, I have this condition big time!

I wasn't obsessed when I decided to welcome a Doberman/Ridgeback into my home. The decision was made with much thought and having met some (adult!) Dobermans who impressed me mightily. Their looks, their intelligence and general attitude, serious but with a joyful side too. The decision to look for a cross breed was thought out too as I live in a pretty harsh environment and I was worried about whether a pure bred would be tough enough. Went into it with my eyes open to the insane energy levels of a pup needing both mental and physical stimulation, I thought, but I had NO idea really. This is something you have to experience firsthand to get any idea at all!

So, now we are nearly a year and a half down the track, surviving puppyhood, adolescence and unforeseen circumstances beyond what a young dog is usually exposed to.............and I am obsessed! Yep, absolutely. All the signs are there.

My vet uses the 9 point body conditioning score to rate the dogs when they come for a visit. They always score a 5. I'm pretty anal about keeping them at an ideal weight. I just can't hardly stand to see an overweight dog.
With so many questions about weight lately, I thought it would be a good time to post this:
Is Your Doberman Fat?
Some people have asked about a doberman growth chart or doberman growth rates detailing the typical doberman weight ranges. I have searched quite a bit online and could not find one. My guess is that it doesn’t exist since the weight of the Doberman Pinscher breed varies.

Doberman Size Estimates
Even if a Doberman growth chart did exist, it would be a pretty rough estimate anyway. There are full grown dobermans who at their ideal weights are 50lbs and others 90lbs, so you can see the wide weight range difference here. Typically an adult female is about 60-80 lbs and a male about 75-90 lbs. That’s a pretty big range for both male and female...

It's a new year so here we are back at week one. Each week we will have a new theme so you can either use an older photo matching the theme or try to take a brand new one for each week.
Let the photos begin!
