I was studying into Dobies for quite some time before I got my Lil' Lexi!

Dobermans are to answer your question and a bit more are:

-Prone to some health deffects such as bloat,
neck and spinal problems, inherited blood disorders, hip dysplasia, and heart disorders.

-Any dog will eat as much as you give them...give them a good amount: for an adult 1 cup 2 times a day instead of 1 big meal! Maybe even less for the cup amount since these dogs are prone to bloat!

-This strong handsome dog requires very careful and consistent training. Strive to ensure everything is harmonious throughout the training. If you have little experience of training dogs, then you are seriously advised not to acquire one of this breed. If Doberman’s are wrongly brought up they can become quite neurotic making them fearful and/or snappy – while their natural character is straightforward and reliable. Always act clearly and fairly with a Doberman. Never hit it and make absolutely sure it is not pestered. Doberman’s are ideally suited to defense-dog training, but do not start too young and avoid too much pressure on the dog in the early stages – never force it! Wait for really serious activity until a Doberman has matured somewhat.

-A Doberman cannot be fobbed off with a daily trot around the neighborhood. It is built for speed and has tremendous stamina. Take it swimming, or let it run alongside your bicycle, or run free in the woods. This breed is ideal for a variety of sporting activities.

- A properly socialized Doberman can get along fine with other dogs, other household pets, and children. Unwanted visitors are stopped in their tracks.

-The Doberman is an active, cunning dog which bonds closely and is brave, intelligent, a good guard dog, loyal, dependent, occasionally nosy and boisterous. It has tremendous stamina. Doberman’s have a tendency to become extremely loyal to one particular person.

That's about it for now! So if you have any questions just PM me or post it here! Hope this helps!


Before buying a puppy it is recommended that you have a veterinarian give the dog a checkup.
