Dobermen Question

[Danegirl2208]

Dobermans are great natured dogs, there CAN be male/male aggression among them just like in any other breed..just make sure to socialize him tons and you will most likely have a well rounded pup on your hands Training is a MUST obviously, dobies are a lot of dog for some people to handle, so get him into training while hes still small. Remeber not to let him do anything you wouldnt want a muscular, 70lb full grown dog doing.. jumping and play biting is never accepatable..good luck and we'd love to see pics!!

you said hes probably a mix, but heres some info on the doberman breed

Thanks for those links. I was really looking at him last night and I think he is mixed with a pitbull type.

My uncle had a Doberman and she was the best natured dog I've ever met! Good luck with your boy

Don't play chase him/he chases you games with him.... because it is tons of fun and he will really like it. BUT when he grows up, he will think everyone "just loves" him "chasing them". And when they run - which they will, by the way (regardless of all the advice to the contrary) he'll just chase them harder and run even faster. And then all the neighbors will be afraid of him... they will "make up stories" about him on Cub Scout outings while sitting around the fire and "everyone will know 'someone' who was actually caught and eaten by him".
