This man has a real passion for Dobermans. I loved his message because it’s true in many ways. I love my Dobermans and I have to apply a lot of his messages to my life and theirs. As their owner I am dedicated to their life as much as they are to mine. 😊
I got a delay and ptsd and been planning on getting and training a doberman for a emotional support dog. Just found this channel and the passion this guy has for this breed is inspirational
Growing up my friend always had Dobermans. The athleticism on them is crazy! He had a female that would almost clear his trampoline while chasing us😂 she would " herd" us by nipping at our ankles as we ran from her. Have many fond memories of them. The ones i see today must all be the American version because his were straight-up studs.
My father had dobermans, so I was around them as a youngster. Swell dogs. Just like with multiple other strong, popular working breeds, they started to get a bad reputation due to backyard breeding, irresponsible masters, and depictions of them in the media being aggressive. Ours were not aggressive, but they were vigilant. If strangers were cool with us, then they were cool with strangers.
There was no discussion about how highly intelligent the Doberman is. The Doberman is one of the smartest dogs in the world and is capable of anything. The Doberman has the brawn and the speed to handle any person and most other threats. The Doberman can protect a CEO in a business environment and look good doing it without losing patience in that environment. The Doberman can go from the play room to the board room and be at home in either situation. The Doberman isn't hyper like a Malinois, it isn't so big that it's slow and tires easy, like a bullmastiff or similar breed, and it has a short coat so you are not dealing with long hair all over your work clothes or work environment. The Doberman Pinscher is the only breed that was created for personal protection work from the beginning. The American show ring has watered them down, just like they've ruined many breeds. Look at the sad state of show line GSD's, it's horrible. A working line Doberman Pinscher is the BEST "ALL AROUND" working dog in the world, as long as you get a quality working line dog.
i dont think this guy knows what hes talking about if he thinks doberman pincher history goes "way back in the day" when it is one of the newest most modern dog breeds that is barely over 100 years old. he is surely knowledgeable about the breed but an expert? hardly.
I really appreciate all the videos. Been following for years. I began with a tan dobe as my first back in 2014. I’ve now settled for an all black German shepherd currently.
I began sharing life with Dobermans in the early 81-82 and I found my true partner my best friend and my protector he naturally did this without training one day a man was approaching me and my dog Bubba could see I was uncomfortable this young man kept talking to me I said do not cross the street my dog will bite you he’s protective The young man did not listen and I yelled it my Bubba could see I did not want him to come over he did look kind of threatening and my dog sensed that he made it nearly all the way across the street when my dog Bubba grabbed at his arm when he was actually reaching for me this was not only one occasion but several when I lost my precious Bubba he was about 13 I had met my husband in 92 married a year later and we began adopting Great Danes and so for the last 30 years that’s the dog we have shared our lives heart and home with they are all good family dogs and all wonderful protectors I am 61 years old and I have shared my life with dogs and what they have given me what I have learned from and for them has truly enriched my life🥰
You are responsible for this creature.., for the remainder of it’s life! People, realize this! I have recently lost my 11year old European. I miss her so much.., and these words bring tears to my eyes.
I do Doberman rescue and it’s sad that the breed is getting popular again because people don’t do their research to see if this is a good fit for their home. They are being dumped in shelters like crazy. My foster fail that I have is definitely a working line so he was given up because the owner couldn’t handle him. He’s such a wonderful boy now that he’s getting what he needs. Thank you for this video.
Got a 20 week old euro doberman female. She's definitely got a high prey and ball drive. Ran a mile with her and she hardly tried...I'm gonna have to bike with her haha... She is very stubborn, but a very well tempered dog. Fantastic I don't have to work on temperament. I just maintain it. I'm hoping to run or bike some distance with her and we have 80 acres she can use as well.
I have two American Doberman Pinschers, and my backyard is full of holes. It looks like the surface of the moon. They are beautiful and friendly dogs, but they do need a lot of exercise and mental stimulation. I can only imagine what the European line is like.
we have a 4 month old Dobe and the nipping is crazy! we can't leave the room if he is playing with our 3 kids because somebody ends up crying...i know they are all excited to be playing (kids and dog) but he nips hard so the kids can't enjoy that playful time with him. Please tell me this is temporary...it's so frustrating. :(
There’s this one lady I see almost everyday near my daughters school, walking, her Doberman. Looks like a fabulous dog, I’ve see him around all types of dog, adults, children, bikes joggers. The dog is well trained always alert looking to the owner, I’ve never seen any aggression towards anything. He looks very stable in temperament. Lovely animal 💜
This American Dobermann is good cut ears, but I see many dogs with much to long ears, my two Dobermann Pinchers 45 years back in time has short cut coupeer ears by a Belgian specialist and the first braun and tan has had a good lovely caracter but the second one black and tan has had 4 generations IPO dogs behind him and he wahs a bullet trouch a wall !🤠
Great video, it’s always good to hear about this wonderful dog. But I wish people would remove the pinscher word in Dobermann. Especially when they refer to the European once. Research is saying that there isn’t a pincher in the Dobermann. I wonder if anyone can do a dna test so we can find out for sure. Europe as many of you know has already removed the word pinscher. Shouldn’t it be time for the USA to do the same? What do you all think? 🐾
My Doberman is a joy in my life. The question isn't who doesn't want such a magnificent animal. The question is the time required to nurture that marvel. It's a lifestyle decision. The working breeds (and hunting breeds) are not pets. If that nurturing comes natural and is fun ya don't notice or mind and it's cool. If the owner doesn't provide that structure they will search out ways to meet that need. (Very likely not end well)
“Not as impressive of a dog” Yeah the American lines show more homage to the original Dobermans. The Europeans he’s into are overbred, more mastiff than Doberman at this point. Typical American mind set ironically, all about size over substance
These dogs he's into have terrible lifespans, a direct consequence of breeding for over-mass/over-size. These dogs could be HALF the size and would be closer to the original doberman than anything we have today. However, the american line has no substance either. They are an extreme in the other directions -- show bred, doe-like, with no temperament for what they were originally bred for. They are essentially like poodles without the high-maintenance coat. They are not even intimidating at all without their ears cropped, and look and act a little bit like noodles. If a person wants a doberman, a real doberman, they are probably better off with a beauceron, german pinscher, or standard schnauzer
@@guidlines This is not something we should accept. All large and XL breeds have been being sized up for the past 100 years for no reason. Now we have A LOT of evidence that the act of increasing their height and mass is detrimental to lifespan. It's time to take the ethical decision to rein those sizes in and stop. We cannot continue this and pretend we love our dogs.
I prefer the Doberman I remember seeing that I grew up with, so definitely must be American bloodlines. I really only started seeing huge emphasis on all these german lines (shepherd, Doberman, rotties) in the last 15+ years, in my personal experience. Either way both are lovely dogs. But to me American is very impressive and has elegance about it.
European dobermans are the originals . Dobermans were bred to be guard dogs , how can a slim small headed dog handle a grown man or two ? More importantly American dobermans don't have the temperament or grit to do bite work hence they moved from the ultimate companion and mascot for US marines in wwii to can't even crack it as a police dog. Completely watered down, the biggest health issue with Dobermans is DCM that is prevalent in all lines and is likely to destroy the breed in a decade.
@@juant7120 After the studies of health and lifespan coming out in recent years, it is clear that this idolization of European breeders is totally misplaced. They are ruining breeds too. The Euro doberman has the lowest lifespan of all doberman varieties according to a recent lifespan study by the doberman diversity project. The euro line cane corso has a lifespan of like 8 years. Stupidly low, and stupidly massive. They really are not any better, and in many cases, are turning out worse.

I’ve owned 3 European Dobermann’s.., listen to this man, there’s some good advice!
I always enjoy Antione’s personal and expert content on my favorite breed. Bravo!
I absolutely love my American Dobermans. They are intelligent, loyal, and very loving!
Great video. Loved the commentary. Cheers
Great insight on the doberman breed. Thoroughly enjoy this video😊
Nice tips! Goes for every breed.
Great video ❤

My Dobie is almost ten years old and she’s super healthy ! She gets plenty of exercise and love❤

I imagine you watched Magnum PI and those two beautiful dobes.
THANK you…. Super content
I love them I had one they are great dog have get one back👍👍

Look carefully at the parents and grandparents health history before buying one. Alot of doberman bloodlines don't make it past 9.
Goes for every breed.
@cvbvcbnbvnbgbbgb True, but Dobermans and Boxers are notorious for sudden deaths and cancer.
I GOT A RED AND RUST DOBERMAN YESTERDAY!!
congratulations!
That’s so exciting 🥳 congratulations.
Your life has hit the afterburner.... 🤗

Some dobes also look a lot like a Great Dane and they were bred with a greyhound due to the greyhound’s speed.

Every 1 in 1,000 dogs go for the neck, not the arms. How do you deal with that training?

Skiddish can be trained out of any dog. You just have to teach them confidence, provide security and develop trust.

Thanks for the video Gerald im from Jackson, Ms myself and i had a warlock breed Doberman when i was in high school. (Prince)
Warlock is a backyard bred term
Shoutout to Jacktown! Same here
I just found you! So enjoy watching you! Doberman's I love!!! Do you know where I might purchase a European Doberman?
♥️
EURO DOBERMANNS HAVE THAT WORKING ABILITY AND SIZE.
Man I was so proud of running 10k everyday with my doberman. Now I feel like a granola eating mf
my doberman Is weird, he has drive like prey drive, but can't fetch.. wtf
I am scared of these dogs I was attacked by two when I was 5.
your other girlfriend lmao
i dont think this guy knows a damn thing of what hes talking about.
Dude compared his skin complexion to negativity. SMH
Dobermans are not supposed to be deep chested at all not even close
The breed standard says the chest should be broad and the brisket should be "deep to the elbow." Thats describing a deep chest.
@@butkusfan23 not really a deep chested dog is not a healthy dog
@@tyrannotherium7873 ok well the breed standard says its supposed to be, so what now?
@@butkusfan23 no they are not at all
@@butkusfan23 where did you get this information from
Clueless.
Dobermans are a watered down breed in the U.S ... Better off getting a champion line Rott.
I couldn't agree more when it comes to American lines.

must suck to not be black enough, but also not be white enough.
70%?????
