Doberman: Good Dog Bad Dog

Oh that is so cool that you will be getting a female soon. When you do I would love to see pictures.

Believe me I would love to get a rescue Doberman. I completely understand that there are TOO many homeless dogs in the world.
I Have contacted rescues in the past but they weren't too interested in giving me a dog becasue I have three already and I have cats too and many of there adult Dobies DONT like cats and aren't fond of other dogs. So thats why I would need a puppy and rescues don't get alot of pups. And I like the fact that when you get a pup from a breeder you know it's parents (backround) and health statis and temperment. So you can get a strong healthy pup. But those are just my opinion.:)

The one reason I liked the Kimbertal kennels as a breeder was because it doesn't seem like the are in it just for money because I read on ther site that if "your Kimbertal Doberman receives a championship, CD or CDX, or any of the 1, 2, or 3 Schutzhund titles. 1/3 of the purches price is refunded. If a total of three are received, a 100% refund of the purchase price is available." So there incuriging owners to work with there dogs, which is great:)

It has been great talking to you about my favorite breed. Not too many people own a doberman so it's hard to find someone to talk to about them:D

Thanks again,
Diana

Ps Your dog is great!!!!!!

We had a red, warlock doberman named Belle. We got her when my sister and I were 10 & 12. She lived for twelve years until her hips and back gave out. She was a wonderful dog. We all loved her dearly. She was extremely obediant and very gentle with us and with all the other pets that we had. It was so cute watching her play gently with little kittens and she was soooo big! I think that dobie's are great dogs. As said before, the parents, owners, and dog's personality have alot to do with whether any pet is a great pet or not. I do think that there is a huge misconception out there about dobermans being attack dogs. In my state, you might have to pay a higher home owners insurance premium if you own one. Belle never harmed another living creature throughout her life. She just scared them when they looked at her! LOL.

Here is my new Dobi!!!!!


Her name is Nana,and she is around 3. I forgot her weight though, (:mad: BAD OWNER!!). So far she is kind of agressive to Barracuda, but she is getting better. In her picture, she might seem soooooooo gentle and loving, but she has an attitude problem, but again, its getting better.

I am only going to post 1 picture of each of my Dobis becuase it's a hassel to get the pictures on.
:rolleyes: :D

NEVER MIND!!!!! The image thing isn't working. I keep trying but it will not work. I am soo SORRY!

Movadomypup it might be easier for you to just post the picture as a attachment. (see bottom of page-above the "submit Reply" button when your post a new reply. The pictures don't have to be on the internet to do that. They Just have to be saved on your computer. Hope that helps.


oh you got her already!!! That was fast. I'm sure Nana will start to calm down once she gets used to Barracuda and she realizes hes not going to hurt her. She'll start to see what a handsome boy he is!!!! Is she also a rescue?

Good luck!!!!

Saltydog,

Belle sounded like a great dog. My Doberman also lived to be 12 but died of a blood clot casued by a surgery he had to remove a tumor under his tail.:( I totally agree that alot of people see Dobermsan as killers. Me and my mom went to the dog park with our second Doberman. When we got to the park there were a good amount of people present. You could see everyone giving us bad looks and grabbing their dogs. So we went into the woods to walk to trails. When we came out everyone was gone(I'm not even jidding):mad: I mean what did they think...he was going to kill them all!! I mean come on; it was riddiculus. That was like 10 years ago so maybe people aren't as bad now(I hope)

I have been blessed to have 3 Dobes in my life. Callihan, Quincey and Mitchell.

Callihan is a 7 year old HUGE male dobey. Quincey died in October and he was a 6 year old male dobey.

Mitchell is a puppy we found at the Columbus Doberman Rescue. He has been in our house for about 6 weeks now. He is such a blessing.

Dobermans have a very sweet personality. They want (in order) food, love, attention, love, exercise and love.

They are lap dogs that happen to be one of the most intelligent breeds. Their natural instinct is to love and protect their humans.

They do have a "hollywood" reputation for being vicious which is pure baloney. True, they are one of the most "used" breeds by law enforcement but I believe that is because of their intelligence, bravery and loyalty. Not because of being ferocious.

BTW, Barracuda is a good looking boy!

here is a picture of the cutest puppy ever...yes, it is the infamous...

Callihan!

bnormal, that is such a great picture of Callihan as a puppy, ultra-extremely cute! :)
I am so glad that Mitchell is giving you joy. Look forward to seeing pictures? :D

ChrisH, thanks! I have a few dozen pics of Mitchy...just no scanner!!!

maybe my mommy will get me one for Christmas...

I was waiting for you to find this thread LOL
Hows Mitchell doing? I havn't heard much about him! How old is he now?

I totally agree with everything you said. Dobies are big sweeties. Not man eating monsters!

Callihan is one gorgeous guy. I love his big ears!!! How old was he in the picture? He has some BIG feet!!! Thanks for sharing a picture.

Do you have any pictures of him as a adult? He is so beautiful.

I wish I had a Dobie. I can't wait to get one in the future. Thats the only breed I will ever be blessed with from now on.

ownerof3dogs, thanks so much. Mitchell is doing great. He is approximately 5 months old. He weighs about 50 pounds. He is teething right now...poor guy! When we got him he was a bit skinny. We're putting some meat on him! He has demodex which is a parasite. It is around his forehead and he is being treated for it. His personality is so neat. He is so playfull and loves to be loved on. And he loves to roughhouse with me.

Callihan is still a bit unsure of him but he is coming around. Mitch generally drives Callihan nuts! Callihan was probably about 4 months old in the picture. Callihan is without a doubt one of the best looking Dobermans I have ever seen. Of course I am a bit biased.

Callihan (sorry Karen to mention it again) was the very first pet of the day. Here is the link:

Callihan, like my wife and I, miss Quincey terribly. However, Mitchell as I said is a true blessing. I will post pictures of him as soon as I get them scanned. Thanks again and attached is another picture of Callihan.

One other thing, while I know the blessing of getting Mitchell from the local dobe rescue we did get Callihan and Quincey from breeders. So if you want to get a Dobe from a breeder you go right ahead and do that and do NOT feel bad about it either. There are good breeders out there you just have to find them. I understand your reasoning completely!

ownerof3dogs,

"Thats the only breed I will ever be blessed with from now on".

You will forever be glad with that decision!

This other picture of Callihan is probably when he was about 4 months old. He is legs and ears in this picture!

ownerof3dogs, I just went to the Kimbertal site...did you see the pictures of the Dobe and all of the pups playing by the creek?

INCREDIBLE!!!!

I WANT 10 MORE DOBE PUPPIES!!!!
