@@ginochavez4009 i dunno but I hate my breeder, Jackson. My pup suffered from abuse when her ears got slammed down and glued flat on her head when the nanny I paid for brought her through many flights during Christmas time in a little carrier she couldn't move in and never got taken out over 16 hours it took for me to get her.
The wife and I (and our seven Dobies) have been involved in Doberman groups for years...demanding return of a dog is a common trait in true quality breeders.
That's how it should be ! I'd be PISSED if someone got a dog from me & then passed it off to some other random person or dropped it in a shelter because they decide to move or "don't have time anymore" whatever the reason. I'll buy the damn dog back if I have to
Absolutely the best Doberman vid I've seen on RUclips! I have watched many since I love the breed. I had the pleasure of having one as a companion. Odin was the best friend I've ever had.
You guys are excellent ambassadors of the breed...enjoyed your video especially the profile of the other working dogs as well as the extensive breakdown of the doberman. You are exceptional breeders in regards to the fact that you feel responsible for the pups you produce. I think that is rare.
I've been in the market for a European Doberman for months. I have an appreciation for this breeders principles. I'm apart of the veterinary community in GA but I'm will to cross the country to look at these dogs. Amazing and responsible people! Saves me a trip from East Europe!
Hello, the truth is super intelligent, very brave and not afraid, this is a small video of when I turned one year old, I invite you to subscribe to my small channel, I will upload more videos, greetings from Argentina. ruclips.net/video/MLeUCRSZxSU/видео.html
That "figures out things we don't want them to" comment is so true about Doberman breeds. I had a 120lbs Warlock that figured out how to break out of the back yard or house to go outside and play with kids in the neighborhood or the cat next door. He also had us, my wife and I, figured out and knew what he needed to do to get his way. Extraordinary intellect for a dog.
I grew up with a Dob. The best girl ever. I would never buy another for that reason. Pictures of her all over my house to this day. Now I am 50, maybe one day. Nothing will ever love you like this breed! Just my experience.
@@DopeBoysofAtlanta Yes as I grew up got older lol. I decided to breed rottweilers I was young and curious and wanted to get to the heart of the Doberman.I did this for about 12 years, loved every second of it. I do not handle the loss of what become my family members well. So long story I will make it short. I came across a new breed years later that took my breath away. I had one for 9.5 years and had none for 2 years. I was watching tv on a Sunday about year and a half ago. I saw these two sisters that breed pups it was on Animal Planet. I seen the passion they had for their dogs. I decided I was going to do my best to own one of these elite dogs. I bought two and had them flown in June 6 2018. I am still in shock at how smart these dogs are.
@@DopeBoysofAtlanta If you ever want to see these guys hifi danni, let me know I can let you see them on instagram. PS thanks for your question! I will always Love the Doberman. Hard to explain maybe one day!
Take a look around your area for a good breeder. Go form a relationship to that person, get to know their dogs, go play with the pups when they have them. I did this, and have found a friend and breeder who is the person I go to when I'm ready. Look for someone who does all the blood testing, tracks the breeding, doesn't breed brother/sister, has experience and a good track record. And most importantly, doesn't overbreed. And they take back any pups for any reason at any point in that dog's life, they insist they are returned to them and not gifted or surrendered. This is the breeding you want. Breeding matters in Doberman behavior. And then, once you have the dog, be ready for spending solid time training that dog. It will get in the way of your social life and all kinds of things, but it's so worth it to have a well trained dog for the rest of its life. The well trained, chill Doberman who is so loving and so protective, well there's nothing else like it. But you have to already be willing and able to spend the quality time with this dog, because a Doberman that doesn't get enough time and attention becomes a problem, not a delight; they are a direct reflection of your invested time and effort. What you put in pays back double over time.
Very true what that lady said in the first minute or so. Our dober loved sitting in the middle of the living room with us......did not like being kept in his kennel, his room so to speak...just wanted to be loose and free and around us.....too good.
I fell in love with Dobermans when we were overseas and lived right out side of the Army base traing them for Nam. We would watch them for hours. As soon as we were State side we got a Dobe. We have had them for 40 years. They are part of our lives and family. Kids have always grown up with them. LOVE A DOBERMAN !! CHERYL
Had a red male, and he was absolutely the most incredible dog I’ve EVER owned. Kids are grown and gone now: 1) What is the typical price for one of your dogs? 2) What is the wait time/process to receive a puppy once ordered?
Always wanted a Dobermann my whole life and had my first for 10 years until she passed last February. It’s killing me waiting for the right time to have another! In the meantime I am watching great videos like this! Roll on October!
I love that fact that you brought up the topic of cropping and docking vs. spay and neutering... Excellent bullet points on the evasiveness and necessity (or lack of it) of breaching a dog's abdominal cavity...when all that is needed is responsible ownership.
David Foster I mean being so irresponsible that you can’t properly track and contain a bitch in heat seems pretty selfish to me.... especially when it involves dogs like the Rottweiler who actually live longer when left intact....
@@davidfoster7374 My dog has never been out of my control. There's no way my Doberman will ever breed without my knowing it. Dogs who are not altered tend to live healthier, longer lives. I will never spay/neuter again. This is not about vanity, it's a fact my dog isn't going to breed. I am not a breeder, I don't want all that responsibility, my dog doesn't get away from me or free of the yard. I make sure of that and am very careful about what I do. The unwanted dog population happens because people don't take their responsibilities seriously, like I do. I'm not going to alter my dog because other people can't figure it out. Unaltered dogs are healthier, that's the dirty secret on one is talking about. A sure fire way to have a Doberman bitch who can't control her bladder is to spay her, anyone who knows this breed knows this. Altered Dobies never reach full mental maturity. None of this is vanity, these are Doberman facts. As for docking/cropping, I don't think it matters as long as the dog has been properly done in a vet's office and not in some garage or basement. The dog is fundamentally the same in temperament and is still an amazing companion and life partner.
@@rebeccaflournoy4439 everyone says that about their breed of dog I've had them all dobermans, German shepherd, a rotties, and 2 malinois. 1 thing I can tell you is about 1 out of every 100 will naturally protect you without any training. Yet alone protect your property if you are not home. I've put it all to the test and I've trained dogs. Most of the time they will make alot of noise and panic and sometimes it's enough to possibly scare someone away but most likely they will not protect you like a trained dog and that is a fact.
I love that Patrick praised other breeds of dogs within the first few minutes of the video. There's a lot of absolutely great breeds of dogs, "I'll never own another breed than
Exactly. Allot of people miss out by sticking to just ONE breed.. I always loved pitbulls myself & said they'd be the "only dog" I'd own lol. Then I got into hunting dogs, got into livestock & got livestock dogs and then was introduced to and fell in love with the protection type breeds. One of my favorite dogs now is my young Rotti/Mal mix. When you actually have dogs for a real PURPOSE instead of just a house pet, it changes how you think about them.
Nice job people. I love what they said about the throw away society and how they believed as breeders they were responsible for the life of the dog. Excellent and responsible. I had occasion to work for a fella with a couple champion dobies. This description fit these dogs to a tee, so smart excellent companions despite the innate guard dog abilities.
Many, many thanks to you folks for such a complete documentary on this fabulous breed! I have had the immense privilege of owning and loving 3 of them ♥ I appreciated SO very much the fact that your policy regarding disposal or rehoming one of your dogs for any reason is forbidden in the contract. Returning one of your Dobermans to you is crucial~! Outstanding. KUDOS!
Dobermans are one of the strongest breeds out there, there also very pretty and smart, there personally my favorite breed. I have a doberman myself and he is the best dog I've ever owned!
A very informative video. As someone who has had a Doberman companion, I agree that they are a unique and wonderful breed. I am not a "one breed only" person and currently I have a magnificent Rhodesian Ridgeback who weighs in at 110 lbs as my constant companion, but Dobermans are definitely one of my favorite breeds. I've defended ear cropping for years on the grounds that it does have a benefit in reducing the incidence of ear infections (Most canine ear infections occur in floppy eared breeds.) But as the breeder here mentioned, the unnecessary neutering and spaying of dogs is far more invasive and has more dire consequences than ear cropping has ever had. In males especially, removal of the gonads often leads to endocrine imbalances and adrenal gland deficiencies eventually culminating in Cushing's disease, which can prove fatal to the dog. If neutering is not medically necessary it is best to avoid doing it.
+Jack Kangaroo ..."If neutering is not medically necessary it is best to avoid doing it". As a responsible dog owner, its your job to prevent unwanted dog pregnancy... as the owner of a Pure breed dog - its even more responsible to maintain the blood line. As you have mentioned, spay and neutering is much more serious, in its consquences than is revealed in all the cute ASPCA sponsored personal service ADs on TV and in magazines. Spay and neutering is abrogation of your responsibility to control your pets, keep them safe and maintain their well being... it has nothing to do with what is best for the dog. Just as a responsible parent...should - educate their offspring, prevent teen pregnancy... so should pet owners. That doesn't require you permanently alter them to make sure they do cause or get pregnant at an early age. there are many roads to prevention, which do not require a permenet solution ... to a temporary, but merely - potential - problem Many animals dogs, cats, horses bulls, cows - etc. Never show their true worth, until after reaching maturity. By neutering or spaying an animal - based, solely on appearances while they are puppies, cubs or colts - means that once they reach maturity and you find they have other qualities which you would like to see in the next generation... its too late. to me... the whole idea of - NO-Fault pet ownership is missing the point of having personal pet companions or working dogs who perform services for their handlers.
Goodness you're explanation of the comparison between crop and doc vs spay and neuter is EXACTLY how I explain it, down to the invasive procedure of spaying and cutting the abdomen wall of a female! Thank you for your solid information. I love these dogs.
I'm a Rottie guy. As a Rottweiler owner I appreciate the way he described my breed and the others without dismissing them in a negative way. I've yet to own a Doberman. I've always wanted one. They've kind of been a favorite breed without having owned one.
Great video, and very beautiful dogs. Regarding all the negative crop/dock comments; I wanted to just say, you can crop my ears too if I can live on your 10 acre Santa Rosa property. Seriously, come on people. These dogs are being treated like royalty on this ranch and would gladly have scratched their own each ears off if necessary... ;)
I love the fact that we here in America, can do what we want with our dogs. When it comes to the question of docking and cropping, I am all for it as long as the procedure is done in a safe manner.
Qui Genus by that logic then the Jewish religion is barbaric for circumcising....oh wait..... Seriously? Get a life. Don’t like your rights taken away? Don’t take away someone else’s. So long as it’s done safely, who cares? The dog sure as fuck will not remember or really notice. You think that dog is gunna walk up to its doggy friends and feel self conscious cause it has a shorter tail or cropped ears? Lol 😂 if this is what you are worried about in life, I implore you to find a hobby. 😂
Qui Genus I don't think it's about pleasing the eye itself. It's about understanding the fact that I can do what I want with my dogs as long as it will not mess up my dog's health cause it stress emotional mental imbalance Etc. And
Qui Genus and I think the choice of your words is actually more barbaric. You talk about being barbaric. You sound like a barbarian. Learn to talk properly first then give advice on a topic.
Qui Genus and why do you keep saying pleasing the eye? Where do you even read that? People crop ears for a lot of different reasons not just for "pleasing the eye"
There's also the health factor. Cropped ears reduce likelihood of ear infection while docked tails make it live an easier indoor life. Their tails are known to wag quite a lot and if those things bang a table corner hard enough, get rolled over by a wheeled chair, etc. it can cause an injury prone to infection, pain, and phantom limb.
This was an amazing video. The only thing that raised my eyebrow was when they stated that there is no difference in size and appearance between the American and European. European Dobermans are heavier, more muscular, slightly taller, thicker neck their muzzle is less pointed and more broad and their rust markings are often darker. Instead of the tan color they are a deep mahogany.
I've owned 8 dobies since 1977 & i'm on my 2nd rescue & he is a european dobie.... I've also owned 4 Labs, 4 Lab mixes, 3 GSD, 1 lrg Poodle, 1 Lhasa Apso... I've loved all of my dogs, but i am foreverbhooked on the Doberman Pinscher breed.... I also agree with him, that the doberman is the smartest breed of dog out there.... Love love love Dobies... Wish i could post a pic of my Shadow
Fantastic dogs mine passed away last year 14 years old but I'm going to get European one after Christmas from uk dobermans yours Patrick ps keep up showing the good videos
I'm from Germany and they are definitly not viewed as a medium sized breed. the breed standard for their withers height is 70cm which is pretty much the height of a kangal and big breeds like that. and they have a leaner torso, they look more elegant than the dobi in this video. great vid tho they have much knowledge
Fat Joe the bigger they are the more health problems they have and are less effective for work. Biggers dobis are maybe more ‘elegant’ but not better dogs.
@@bafehd2336 I don't think the European ones are taller, but they're a tall breed in general because in Europe Dobermanns are from what I know definitely among the taller breeds out there. I definitely don't think the European ones have more health problems.
The UKC standard does not allow for a dog more than 100 lbs. if that gives you any idea. The American standard does not allow for a dog weighing more than 90 lbs
I feel bad, when they call the female dog a bitch , I do know that's what they are called I feel bad calling a dog and bitch and none of them will come out and say how much they cost
Yea my Dobberman could open door's, count and loved beer. She knew and was not happy that she wasn't a human. Totally sweat, obedient and chill. I spent hours and hours and hours with her. She wasn't at all dog aggressive but she did hate squirrels. This couple seems like a great breeder.
cristianoo27 I don't know where you live in Germany that there are a lot of Human aggressive Dobermanns. I live my home life in Germany and know nearly all DV groups and there was only one Dobermann who was Human aggressive and that's just a few month bevor the training start...
l love the cropped and docked look and wouldn't settle for anything less - it's distinctive and elegant, fits the high intelligence of this breed. I hope to get a Doberman Pinscher in two year's time.
Such a wonderful breeder and trainer couple. I gave you both lots of respect from listening to you, I have two Doberman ( Black and Red) and I adore them every second of my days, could not ever imagine that abandon them ever since they are over the top to make sure our family is protected, and devoted their lives to us and please us in many ways. Yes, lots of keep up with their training, socializing, and discipline when we are out and about, and Foods, these babies can eat LOL Love Love Doberman Breed:)
I agree with almost everything said here. Note that the nerve ending in the tail and ears are not fully developed in pups, so if cropped and docked early it significantly reduces the irritation.
Been around American Dobes since 1971 and owned them since 1984. Our son owns 2, including a 4 yr old Eastern European Male that literally comes from a family of war dogs. All of ours animals have been purchased over the decades from top US Breeders focused on the confirmation ring. We have AKC champions in our past and our newest male was sired by the current #3 Dobe Grand Champin. The info in this video is very accurate. The point at 15 minutes about socialization cannot be emphasized enough, you must do it and do it while they're young! I do think the O'Conners are incorrect on one small point, that is - the size of the European Dobe. My experience is they are heavier, thicker, more muscled and taller typically than US counterparts. Couldn't agree more with everything else pointed out in the video and happy to stumble onto it and enjoy the content. At 15 minutes
Years ago i was asked to take over a cross malinois-dobermann and it was a fantastic dog. Looks and mind was very much dobermann.(i found out) I lost her to bone cancer when she was 7 yo. After several sheperds and a kooiker i looked for a more weather resistend dog like that and came up with a riesenschnauzer. I bought a 'looking for a new home' riesenschnauzer and after about 1,5 years he was the finest dog i ever had. (he lacked confidence) Eversince only schauzers in the house, riesen and dwerg. ( and a haunting dog cross munsterlander-heidewachtel, lovely nice dog.)
Great video, great information, and Beautiful Doberman . I can tell you really know your dogs I have owned three Dobes, and you’re right on what you’re saying about them they are lapdogs they are house dogs, very loyal and committed dogs. I really want to get another one someday. I really enjoyed your video ! 🐾🐾
They seem like the perfect dog for me were both athletic i hate the cold i love chilling with people i go out alot to duffrent places and meet different people and i understand tge aspects in training a working class dog
Tail docking on the Doberman is to prevent it from breaking it's thin curly tail..... because Doberman is a working breed and constantly in an aggressive movements.
When I was 12 to 15 years old before my mother passed away we had Dobermans they were AKC registered the mail was magnificent just as icon is the female was actually a retired Marine with a purple heart also a magnificent dog but before we got her some fool had got a hold of her and bread her for pups foolish man he is no longer with us but duchess and Satan were magnificentwhat duchess I came home that day and did not realize she was actually a trained attack dog my mom looked at me at the bottom of the stairs as I laid with duchesses head in my lap petting her and my mother said quietly and calmly you should come on upstairs and have dinner and I did and that dog became my very best friend for all of her life
Sign of a good breeder.= One who DEMANDS, REQUIRES, ECT that you return the dog to them if you can't keep the dog..awesome..
Love this dedicated classy couple who are the best breeders a d trainers.
IK like is it ur dog or mine
@@ginochavez4009 i dunno but I hate my breeder, Jackson.

I love how they take responsibility for their puppies, for life.
they have the resources. I get me some lotto max, my acreage, everything will be built with dogs in mind.
How can I get a dog from them

This is true!
Agreed
R Evans never read a truer comment! I got my first one when I was 15, now at the age of 53 I am still a Doberman person. And will always be.
statistically speaking 10-13 years
So true
"When BITCHES have a problem, the fights are gonna be much worse!"
I laughed at that. Not saying it isn't only in regards to dogs! haha
...which leads to a hormonal inbalance in favor of testosterone.
best personal protection dog hands down..you don't even need to train it...its ingrained in them

Jerry Piaskowski spay and neutering I believe may not be a necessary, but it is very important due to the overpopulation of dogs and cats.
How does hurting a dog for the vanity of the owner even remotely compare to controlling the (potentially unwanted) dog population?

I am not a "one breed only" person and currently I have a magnificent Rhodesian Ridgeback who weighs in at 110 lbs as my constant companion, but Dobermans are definitely one of my favorite breeds. I've defended ear cropping for years on the grounds that it does have a benefit in reducing the incidence of ear infections (Most canine ear infections occur in floppy eared breeds.) But as the breeder here mentioned, the unnecessary neutering and spaying of dogs is far more invasive and has more dire consequences than ear cropping has ever had. In males especially, removal of the gonads often leads to endocrine imbalances and adrenal gland deficiencies eventually culminating in Cushing's disease, which can prove fatal to the dog. If neutering is not medically necessary it is best to avoid doing it.
+Jack Kangaroo ..."If neutering is not medically necessary it is best to avoid doing it".
As a responsible dog owner, its your job to prevent unwanted dog pregnancy... as the owner of a Pure breed dog - its even more responsible to maintain the blood line. As you have mentioned, spay and neutering is much more serious, in its consquences than is revealed in all the cute ASPCA sponsored personal service ADs on TV and in magazines.
Spay and neutering is abrogation of your responsibility to control your pets, keep them safe and maintain their well being... it has nothing to do with what is best for the dog. Just as a responsible parent...should - educate their offspring, prevent teen pregnancy... so should pet owners. That doesn't require you permanently alter them to make sure they do cause or get pregnant at an early age.
there are many roads to prevention, which do not require a permenet solution ... to a temporary, but merely - potential - problem
Many animals dogs, cats, horses bulls, cows - etc. Never show their true worth, until after reaching maturity. By neutering or spaying an animal - based, solely on appearances while they are puppies, cubs or colts - means that once they reach maturity and you find they have other qualities which you would like to see in the next generation... its too late.
to me... the whole idea of - NO-Fault pet ownership is missing the point of having personal pet companions or working dogs who perform services for their handlers.
Thank you! !!!! Love your work but specially Doberman's.
Thanks a lot Lorna and Patrick O'Connor for be a super responsible breeders, breed for temperament qualities and for cropping their dogs too!
Very nice presentation and shared information. Thank you !
Goodness you're explanation of the comparison between crop and doc vs spay and neuter is EXACTLY how I explain it, down to the invasive procedure of spaying and cutting the abdomen wall of a female! Thank you for your solid information. I love these dogs.
I'm a Rottie guy. As a Rottweiler owner I appreciate the way he described my breed and the others without dismissing them in a negative way. I've yet to own a Doberman. I've always wanted one. They've kind of been a favorite breed without having owned one.
Love Dobermans, can't wait to get mine :)
As a Doberman owner, I can see that you really understand and get this breed. Thank you for your thoughtful video on our noble life partners!
Great video, and very beautiful dogs.
Regarding all the negative crop/dock comments; I wanted to just say, you can crop my ears too if I can live on your 10 acre Santa Rosa property. Seriously, come on people. These dogs are being treated like royalty on this ranch and would gladly have scratched their own each ears off if necessary... ;)
Gorgeous Dogs!!!😍😍😍 Wow, Dobermans have that deep broad Chest!!!
They are partially greyhound. And great Dane, rottweiler and whatnot .
I love you guys way to go keep fighting for the dobbie
I have a European Doberman that I rescued from a shelter... such an amazing breed, definitely my first choice.
Gotta luv the dobies
I like these folks.
Love what they said about the ear cropping and tail docking
I would Love to buy a Doberman from them.
Crop and Dock! My Dobbie looks MAGNIFICENT and the renters next door are deathly afraid of him, and GOOD!! STAY AWAY! haha..
Very good looking Doberman... I had one too, I got it from a breeder in Italy while I was leaving there. What a wonderful pet he was.
I am really! Very big dog lover and puppy lover forever and ever ❤
Beautiful dogs
You are absolutely right on that socialization
Such good documentaries as always!
You guys are incredible !! Keep up the good work !! Your dogs are absolutely amazing !! Magnificent creatures they are
I love the fact that we here in America, can do what we want with our dogs. When it comes to the question of docking and cropping, I am all for it as long as the procedure is done in a safe manner.
Qui Genus by that logic then the Jewish religion is barbaric for circumcising....oh wait.....
Seriously? Get a life.
Don’t like your rights taken away?
Don’t take away someone else’s.
So long as it’s done safely, who cares? The dog sure as fuck will not remember or really notice. You think that dog is gunna walk up to its doggy friends and feel self conscious cause it has a shorter tail or cropped ears? Lol 😂 if this is what you are worried about in life, I implore you to find a hobby. 😂
Qui Genus I don't think it's about pleasing the eye itself. It's about understanding the fact that I can do what I want with my dogs as long as it will not mess up my dog's health cause it stress emotional mental imbalance Etc. And
Qui Genus and I think the choice of your words is actually more barbaric. You talk about being barbaric. You sound like a barbarian. Learn to talk properly first then give advice on a topic.
Qui Genus and why do you keep saying pleasing the eye? Where do you even read that? People crop ears for a lot of different reasons not just for "pleasing the eye"
There's also the health factor. Cropped ears reduce likelihood of ear infection while docked tails make it live an easier indoor life. Their tails are known to wag quite a lot and if those things bang a table corner hard enough, get rolled over by a wheeled chair, etc. it can cause an injury prone to infection, pain, and phantom limb.
This was an amazing video. The only thing that raised my eyebrow was when they stated that there is no difference in size and appearance between the American and European. European Dobermans are heavier, more muscular, slightly taller, thicker neck their muzzle is less pointed and more broad and their rust markings are often darker. Instead of the tan color they are a deep mahogany.
I've owned 8 dobies since 1977 & i'm on my 2nd rescue & he is a european dobie.... I've also owned 4 Labs, 4 Lab mixes, 3 GSD, 1 lrg Poodle, 1 Lhasa Apso... I've loved all of my dogs, but i am foreverbhooked on the Doberman Pinscher breed.... I also agree with him, that the doberman is the smartest breed of dog out there.... Love love love Dobies... Wish i could post a pic of my Shadow
So nice to see such responsible breeders!
Fantastic dogs mine passed away last year 14 years old but I'm going to get European one after Christmas from uk dobermans yours Patrick ps keep up showing the good videos
what an awesome couple
I'm from Germany and they are definitly not viewed as a medium sized breed. the breed standard for their withers height is 70cm which is pretty much the height of a kangal and big breeds like that. and they have a leaner torso, they look more elegant than the dobi in this video. great vid tho they have much knowledge
Fat Joe the bigger they are the more health problems they have and are less effective for work. Biggers dobis are maybe more ‘elegant’ but not better dogs.
@@bafehd2336 I don't think the European ones are taller, but they're a tall breed in general because in Europe Dobermanns are from what I know definitely among the taller breeds out there. I definitely don't think the European ones have more health problems.
The UKC standard does not allow for a dog more than 100 lbs. if that gives you any idea. The American standard does not allow for a dog weighing more than 90 lbs
My first was 31” to withers and over 50kg
I feel bad, when they call the female dog a bitch , I do know that's what they are called I feel bad calling a dog and bitch and none of them will come out and say how much they cost
You guys are 110% right love my doberman PS I found him abandoned in a box in a parking lot and he's been the best dog ever
Yea my Dobberman could open door's, count and loved beer. She knew and was not happy that she wasn't a human. Totally sweat, obedient and chill. I spent hours and hours and hours with her. She wasn't at all dog aggressive but she did hate squirrels. This couple seems like a great breeder.
We have alot of them here in Germany. All human agressive. Perfect guard dog love them
bullshit
cristianoo27 The originals, unlike the American lines.
cristianoo27 I don't know where you live in Germany that there are a lot of Human aggressive Dobermanns. I live my home life in Germany and know nearly all DV groups and there was only one Dobermann who was Human aggressive and that's just a few month bevor the training start...
Yes! Agree to 100%! The only human aggressive dogs I met in Germany have been really small dogs.
My Dobie loves the ladies.... not aggressive to women at all. The men though, he always looks out for them.
l love the cropped and docked look and wouldn't settle for anything less - it's distinctive and elegant, fits the high intelligence of this breed. I hope to get a Doberman Pinscher in two year's time.
Such a wonderful breeder and trainer couple. I gave you both lots of respect from listening to you, I have two Doberman ( Black and Red) and I adore them every second of my days, could not ever imagine that abandon them ever since they are over the top to make sure our family is protected, and devoted their lives to us and please us in many ways. Yes, lots of keep up with their training, socializing, and discipline when we are out and about, and Foods, these babies can eat LOL Love Love Doberman Breed:)
I agree with almost everything said here. Note that the nerve ending in the tail and ears are not fully developed in pups, so if cropped and docked early it significantly reduces the irritation.
Been around American Dobes since 1971 and owned them since 1984. Our son owns 2, including a 4 yr old Eastern European Male that literally comes from a family of war dogs.
All of ours animals have been purchased over the decades from top US Breeders focused on the confirmation ring. We have AKC champions in our past and our newest male was sired by the current #3 Dobe Grand Champin.
The info in this video is very accurate. The point at 15 minutes about socialization cannot be emphasized enough, you must do it and do it while they're young!
I do think the O'Conners are incorrect on one small point, that is - the size of the European Dobe. My experience is they are heavier, thicker, more muscled and taller typically than US counterparts. Couldn't agree more with everything else pointed out in the video and happy to stumble onto it and enjoy the content.
At 15 minutes
You really do make the best "dogumentaries". Well done.
Best dog ever
You two are lovely! I think you're doing an awesome job with your kennel as well. Peace and Blessings to you and yours.
THANK YOU !
You guy make alot of good points!!!
Awesome video- so authentic! Best video I’ve seen.
I love good people like them, interesting video about the doberman bread , I truly love dobermans
today only I saw male Doberman European....he was huge.....a beast
Spay and Neutering vs Crop/dock argument is so true.... People don't think twice about spaying when it's incredibly invasive.
love
Just got my dobbie a few days ago!! So excited happy to have her along side my French bulldog bully mix
Very beautiful dobermans. Wish I could have chance to visit next time when I travel to CA
You are right this is America!
What a fantastic couple. If i lived in usa and wanted a dobermann, this is who i would see, 100%👍🏻👊🏻👌🏻♥️
Years ago i was asked to take over a cross malinois-dobermann and it was a fantastic dog. Looks and mind was very much dobermann.(i found out) I lost her to bone cancer when she was 7 yo. After several sheperds and a kooiker i looked for a more weather resistend dog like that and came up with a riesenschnauzer. I bought a 'looking for a new home' riesenschnauzer and after about 1,5 years he was the finest dog i ever had. (he lacked confidence) Eversince only schauzers in the house, riesen and dwerg. ( and a haunting dog cross munsterlander-heidewachtel, lovely nice dog.)
Love these folk. I pick up my 3rd dobe this week… 1 male euro and 2 female American
Thank you dogumentarytv
Great video, great information, and Beautiful Doberman . I can tell you really know your dogs I have owned three Dobes, and you’re right on what you’re saying about them they are lapdogs they are house dogs, very loyal and committed dogs. I really want to get another one someday. I really enjoyed your video ! 🐾🐾
The sexiest dog breed *period*😈
I love your vids
i like these people. totally reasonable and call out the hypocrisy of most people.
They seem like the perfect dog for me were both athletic i hate the cold i love chilling with people i go out alot to duffrent places and meet different people and i understand tge aspects in training a working class dog
Tail docking on the Doberman is to prevent it from breaking it's thin curly tail..... because Doberman is a working breed and constantly in an aggressive movements.
When I was 12 to 15 years old before my mother passed away we had Dobermans they were AKC registered the mail was magnificent just as icon is the female was actually a retired Marine with a purple heart also a magnificent dog but before we got her some fool had got a hold of her and bread her for pups foolish man he is no longer with us but duchess and Satan were magnificentwhat duchess I came home that day and did not realize she was actually a trained attack dog my mom looked at me at the bottom of the stairs as I laid with duchesses head in my lap petting her and my mother said quietly and calmly you should come on upstairs and have dinner and I did and that dog became my very best friend for all of her life
Best breed ever!
