i already have a male. pf course he is the best dog ever. i had a female years ago and she was the best dog ever. dobermans are just wonderful dogs, male or female.
@@katybing3452 I'm the youngest person in my family and I have to say my female Doberman who is dead now died a long time ago but she was the most protective of me. She even came up to me all the time wanting me to go to bed with her. She would cuddle with me. The Melt Doberman which was her brother loved me but he was more playful.
For my third Doberman I got a red European girl for my first female dog ever and ....................she’s a damn diva she thinks she’s a queen I love her but it’s like having Beyoncé in my house
@@Powerful9315 If you go to the UDC website (United Doberman Club), they have a list of breeders. They are the European working Doberman but all are reputable breeders.
I would love to have a female, the thought of a dog being loyal to only me is really satisfying if I'm being honest. I suffer from bipolar and because of me moods changing it is difficult for me to keep friends let alone want to be around others half the time. , So for me I would defiantly want a female. Love you girl and thank you again for another amazing video!! xoxo
Shayla Storm babe I totally get how frustrating mental health challenges can be and I am right there with you! I love you so much and I hope you know it gets much better!❤️ I have adhd and have struggled so much with depression/anxiety but my animals have helped me so much! I am so glad you are a part of my family (;
@giao2380 congratulations on your new baby 🥳🥰 I now have four dogs. Three females and a male who 10ths old now and my best friend! We adopted him bc he’s a chow chow mix with lab and they were going to put him down due to his owner passing unfortunately from cancer. Thankfully they let me step in and take him home !🙌🏼🙏🏼
I just recently got a female Doberman. Did some research and found out that they’re more calm so I went for that 😂 love goofiness of the males but I have a lot of baby cousins running around too so I rather have more of a calm dog who is better with kids!
Had a female doberman for 13yrs best dog ever. She was protective of the family. She got a lot exercise but also a couch potato and took up the whole couch.
The only breed my wife and I ever have is Doberman's. We've had both male and female. Usually our males were super calm and relaxed. Whereas, with our females, they were usually more needy and clingy. Currently we have Abby a red dobie female. And she is very needy per se. She constantly wants to play. I should note Abby will be 2 yrs old in June (2020). So she still has that puppy in her. However, did have Abby, professionally trained. So she's just great to be around. She's well behaved and listens. That being said, my wife and I do spoil her beyond belief. I would say Abby, is more attached to me. But that's because I take everywhere with me. The other day I had to go to the hardware store for some lumber and fencing. I asked Abby is she wanted to come along. Of course she got super excited....she loves car rides. My wife won't take Abby out, unless it's to the Vet. I enjoy providing "enrichment" for Abby. And maybe we spoil her so much, because our kids are older now and just finished college. The kids are out on their own. We do have a stray kitten we found on our property and took it in. Now Abby gets along quite well with Otis the Cat. Both animals have 207 acres to explore. But we don't let them just go off. Abby has a large fenced area. Why I needed the fence and lumber...going to extend Abby's yard so it's roughly a full acre for her but still attached to the house. Abby is an inside and outside dog...simply what she wants. Except at bed time. Abby is inside sleeping on the bed with us...of course.
I have a 9 months European red girl. She is my first dog and I love her like crazy. She is extremely energetic, a bit moody, super smart and she tests me on every new thing. Like you said, she is always looking for a shortcut 😜
@Amanda Wallace She is now 13 months and she has never had skin issues. After the heat she has mellowed down a lot and now she is just amazing. She is so sweet with everyone and every dog. She loves cuddling. To me she is the perfect dog.
@@mc3744 my baby has some dry skin spots . I have ask vet but they just tell me she will grow out of it. Ella is very energetic ( full speed all the time unless she is sleeping) hoping she slows down a little .
I’m still a bit conflicted. Although I plan to take my Doberman out everyday to parks and riversides etc, it will be living in an apartment with 4 other roommates. It’s very typical for friends to walk in and out unannounced and I don’t want my dog to be overly protective around strangers that may be walking into the apartment
Glad I found this. I'm on the 4th dobe. I have a female still with me. But have had 2 other males. One lived to 13, last one to only 8 (bladder cancer in March of this year). Got a male who is 11 months old now. First show dog and trying to get as much info to help him be his best since he is going to be in such a different atmosphere than my other boys. I prefer my males. My husband and female dobe are connected at hip. I think you explaining this difference in male vs female has me understanding now. I love them being Velcro dogs, I love them being athletes. But the female and I never bonded like I did with any of my males. I'm guessing now that part of that was just because of the differences between sexes and my time put into the training one on one with the males. I do know that losing each of my males cost me emotionally in a way I have never experienced before. Most painful loss that I am still going through from my loss in March. I have 3 female dogs and decided that I only wanted one male. I will always have a doberman but if I am going to have a male dog it will always be a doberman. No other breed has brought me the love and devotion of this breed. I am a mobile groomer and have been snubbed by community because I have gone the show route. I simply don't care. They have not experienced what I have. I have 2 rescues and will always do my part there. But to have a well bred dobe..... nothing in the world touches this. Sorry this was long. But it was so heartfelt.
Don't grieve too longYou did the right thing I wish I understood that previously following up Dobermans one after the other isn't it so nice that the all have different personalities it's impossible to compare theTwo or three
Hailey is my third Doberman all have been females I love how focused they are in any thing they do. Spot on with how they pick only one person. Plus as much as you train them there also training you. So smart funny crazy I love my shadow so much. Dobies rule. Thank you
Very good information on the Doberman, from the information you given on the Doberman, people can have a good idea on which one they want the male or female, great job, and you have a good looking Doberman.
Spot on 👍 I have had both. I have a male now. I like the goofy, happy go lucky, not so serious attitude of the males. But don't get me wrong, I love the girls too. Good job.
I have both a male and female and this is pretty accurate. Both have different personalities but very loyal, smart and protective. Best breed dog ever. I love them both equally 🥰
how do the male and female live together? Any challenges? I am looking for two dob puppies now and leaning towards two males, but considering one of each.. any feedback you can share would be great!
My 6 year old doberbaby often reverts to puppy like behaviour. Especially after a brisk run, we go jogging or on the bike for 100-150 minutes daily depending on the weather. Even in the rain or snow we'll still do an hour. I want to believe it's the vigorous exercise, cold temps & the effect of coming into a very warm home. He'll get the zoomies for 5 minutes then be nipping, chewing my hands and arms. He goes from being a docile lap dog to a literal land shark.
Correct on differences! But, realizing they have their own personalities in spite of their gender sometimes. Louie is a fawn (Isabella) Doberman so only 6% of the breed. He is different in a lot of ways. We got him so early at 8 weeks and started socializing him right away. Now, at 15 months old he is very very lovable. He is well trained but unusually gentle. Definitely a 100 on the Goofy scale, though. However, here is an example of his unique personality: He will play as hard as he can with any dog that wants to play. But, yesterday at the dog park, he started playing with a basset hound puppy and was very protective and gentle. Lots of licking, lots of laying down and letting her play with his ears. He is sensitive enough to hone in on the other dogs level. He is the same way with kids at different ages. And, he anticipates my mood very well and adjusts to it. But, then that maybe normal. Other Doberman males I have known seem to be more aggressive or impatient. He does go into an intense protective mode if he is not introduced by me, but I can get him to back down or be more alert very easily. As a pup, the breeder did not even want to let him go either because of his personality: a little lovable, pudgy burrito. Now, he is weighing in at 95 lbs so that can be problem when he sits on your face on the couch. In his mind, he is still a lap sized burrito puppy. GOOFBALL!!!!
Her crop turned out perfectly! I had a female (RIP) that was amazing! I then adopted a male, and his prey drive was unmanageable, sadly. I do have to say that my female wasn't anything like the list you had. She fell more into the male characteristics. Goofy, loved everybody (especially cats and the UPS man!).
I had a 115 lb female (who was NOT fat and just a freakish goliath) She was the offspring from parents names King kong and Godzilla respectively. Also at 2 different times had 2 other females 80 and 90 lbs. All but one lived around 10/11 yrs with one dying of some form of crappy breast cancer for lack of better term that came fast and out of nowhere and took her quick upon its onset. She was 6 :( and as crappy luck would have it, she was my favorite and we had that deeper than usual bond with made it even harder
I have an amazingly gentle, sweet female Doberman. She is smart, ready to please and easy to exercise. She is now six and the best dog I have ever had.
I've had 2 females and 2 males. My current Doberman is a male. First off, the whole breed is amazing, very willing to please, intelligent, driven, capable and attentive. Both sexes are highly trainable. The males work better for me. Like she said, they don't ask questions, they just go go go. There is nothing they can't learn. I like the higher drive of the males. Their protection instincts are centered around the person, the handler. Females seem more apt to protect the zone, your whole house. I also agree that protection training isn't really a priority. They are naturally intimidating and protective without turning that up. You can see some of the very many skills the Doberman can achieve on my GreatDogs channel. Cheers!
Great video on dobies. My Ruby is a pit mix and she is totally goofy. She is like controlled chaos if that makes any sense lol. But she has made great strides since I got her. She actually had a warning on her paperwork to have 2 people handle her. Within 3 years of getting her she she has already came in 1st place in a trick dog contest.
@@katybing3452 ya have lots of cool videos yourself. Ruby and I got a lip syncing challenge video on ours. It is actually pretty easy to teach. As soon as the video gets like 100 likes or our facebook group where we have the video posted gets 200 shares I will be making a video on how to teach your do to lip sync :)
I personally have a female doberman and her name is Pam! and she is basically everything you described! very loyal to me and my girlfriend and no one else! She is very protective and very serious about the jobs given to her. We love her and she loves us! Keep going Doberman videos!
This was so helpful!! My husband and I will be getting a female as our first dobie. We currently have a (also our first of this breed) male GSD. So excited to get our new puppy! 🥰
I wish for a doberman 😍😍😍 i feel like a male might be good for me. They are crazy and happy like me. No offense on female a doberman. They are beautiful too.
I have had 3 males and 3 females; currently have 2 females and I love both but lean more towards the females...and these characteristics are pretty spot-on..
@@katybing3452 I had 3 at one time and they did awesome together.. Due to DCM I lost 2 of them so now I currently have a 9 year old female and just got a baby who is now 13 weeks old and both girls get along well....
Hi. I have 2 Dobermans, a male and a female. your video is all about generalities of this breed and I thank you thank you for it, however. it all depends on the relationship you have with your animals. LOVE these dogs they are definitely the best ever !!
I worked with a lot of Dobermans (they all were trained for protectionwork), and I can honestly say, that female Dobermans can be just as feisty/difficult with other females as males with other males.
We have a red female. She is 1year old. Still training. Winter set me back. But looks like an early spring 🌼. She is sassy, loving, stubborn. So far she loves everyone and will try to continue that personality.
Got a european female doberman and she is 19 weeks now. Crazy energy...literally you have to exercise them to calm them down. I love it though because I like doing stuff. That's what I wanted. She's extremely well tempered and great with kids and dogs. No issues at all there. Couldn't ask for a better temper. She is smart and learns quick, however she is stubborn, that is for dang sure. I'm sure some of it is the puppy still, but dang. She loves playing and has a high toy drive. Very good dog overall. Can't wait to see how big she gets her mom was 80lbs and her dad was 110lb.
I've always had female Doberman and am currently on my fourth female. Delilah was my first and my brother had her 2 brothers. My next female was Brooklyn followed by Nadia and now Athena.
I have a male 7 m/o European Doberman who is 75 lbs and growing. Originally, I wanted a red female (it would also be my first dog) but all the breeders we've talked to recommended a male because (according to them) males bond better with their owners and they are not drama queens, like the females. Our good boy is a great. He gets along with everyone in the family, including our cat. He is also very goofy and wants to play tug a lot. I am the only one who is training him and spend the most time with him, so he tends to listen to me more than other people in the household. He is also becoming territorial and barks at animals and people outside our house, but he never barks at anyone when we are out on walks. He is also very smart and easy to train. We are pretty much down with obedience training and currently doing Schutzhund.
Great video. I got my female Doberman at 8 weeks old back in 2014. I will say you are 100% correct about her focus on performing a job. When outside she immediately goes on Airplane patrol and protects our house from all the invading planes landing at our local airport. There is absolutely no ball throwing or playing that will take her eyes from the sky for 1 second, but on walks or at the park she does not do this and just wants to explore. I will also say she loves and interacts with my wife, son and I all equally. She loves to lick, swim and challenge authority. She has also not slowed down 1 bit and is basically a forever puppy. I doubt I will ever own another Doberman again. Despite how much we love ours as I get older I can't see myself being able to dedicate the HOURS EVERY DAY these dogs need in order to be happy and at peace.
I grew up with a female Doberman and she was incredibly obedience and protective for the whole family, but she does not like children. She was the perfect dog. She knew when to protect the house and when to play. She was very attentive. I’m thinking of getting another one but I was thinking about getting a mail but I don’t know if I should just stick with the female as I’m familiar with.
I Have Three Male Doberman’s There Very Friendly And Calm I love Them So Much 💛 There Ears and Tails are Docced But You DONT need to do This I love my Doberman’s Btw these dogs are a Handful
My husband and I raised Dobermann for 11 year’s and I haven’t had a dog for over 30years my husband just passed away in 2018 I I want a Dobermann again but can’t take care of one not sure about anything at this time but every one says I need a dog . Still grieving so don’t know what to do 🤷♀️😷
I too wanted to certainly go for a boy... But after listening to you i realised that it's like i am cutting sort the terbulances a boy would bring and still retaining the charm of having a doberman... By just getting a girl... That's a very person specific opinion suited to my personal requirements... Indeed DOBERMANs are awesome.. irrespective of the gender... Thanks for such an informative video...
I’ve had both male and female Dobermans. I own a female now, and I feel she’s bonded more to the family as a whole than my male did. My male only ever liked me, he tolerated my husband. My female now spends time with everyone in the family. She is more stoic, moody, more in tune with my emotions. I love them both, my favorite dog breed. 🖤
We just adopted a female doberman and waiting to take her home. She was in a shelter and we were not planning on adopting any dog let alone a doberman. So now I'm researching everything I can bout the breed..
Recently lost my 9 year old GSD Zeke to cancer. He was a rescue, our third Shepherd. Took all three through advanced obedience and one through early stages of service (distraction) training. Looking to move to a short haired dog that's still very trainable, a good protector, and a good family dog. Wondering how you would compare the breeds, how similar, how different, what are best print and online resources to learn from?
Have outlived 6 Dobermans so far....3 female, and 3 male....Three from Puppies, and 3 adopted as adults. #1 Doberman was in 1957. #6 (male) passed in 2018. ALL were wonderful friends! Wondering IF I might be able to outlive #7? Maybe "that should be the goal"? I miss them all!
I’m still so conflicted. I have a male dog (very submissive/insecure) and I’m looking to get a Dobermann for service work. I think a female would be better for my household, but I’m worried about her being uncomfortable around strangers because she will be with me in public all the time. What do you think?
That’s great that you bike ride with your dog. I always did this with my dogs. I put a short leash on the seat post. Don’t hold the leash or wrap it around your wrist. Tie a short leash to the seat post.
Hi Im getting a girl doberman in 2 weeks! I'm super excited and extremely nervous. She will be my first dog and I own a KING size bed for us to sleep on :)
My grandma’s male Doberman Wilson actually gets along with my 10 lb mini dachshund Princeton. Both males and they get along fine lol. Not trying to hate at all I just thought it was interesting!💕 I love Oxer, Jazzy, and the rest of the pack!👍
That is awesome! I know it’s totally possible for male dobes to be around other dogs, I just think the trend is that it can be more difficult ❤️ and oxer says hi!!
Relief i hv a docile male cav. My daughter wl b getting a male Dobie puppy. He wl come overb2 days a week while I babysit 4 yr old granddaughter will they get along being socialized so early
Great video! I have a male doberman who is 19 months old and this is pretty spot on, although I think you were off a bit on the sizing for males, at least by akc standards. They should be 26 to 28 inches at the withers, with 27.5 considered ideal. The tall skinny ones you often see are not correctly bred. Everything else is spot on, my boy is goofy and clumsy, and he is pretty high energy. He needs quite a bit of exercise and mental stimulation. He is very territorial and if I ever got another dog, it would be a female because he's never met a female he doesn't like. He has occasionally had issues with other males, but it's typically because they try to dominate him and he won't have it! Lol. He is super gentle with my kids and is a great family dog. I really couldn't ask for a better dog. Thanks again for the great video!
This is such an insightful comment, your boy sounds wonderful and it sounds like you are very in tune with him! Thank you so much for the pointer❤️ I appreciate you (;
We broght a 10 month old Male Doberman thats not fixed into our home with 3 bullies that are not fixed. They ALL get along fine. He did challenge one of the bullies for the alpha spot when he first met them but now they all act like they been together since birth. You can bring in an older male Doberman into a home with other male dogs if your a responsible owner and have control over your pack. We currently have a pack of 6 and everyone respects everyone else because we provide the structure and safety for them.
your video was so educational for me. i am wanting to get a doberman. but was really debating between male and female. i own a female dalmatian. so thank you so the video !!
i got gifted a 7 year old female. she wasn't really all that active or protective. she never learned to play. she grew up in a kennel only used for breeding. its been 2 years when she finally bonded with me. noone can come near my house or mess with me. an i just moved out of my parents house. its good having my best friend watching my back.. i was at work. my uncle came over to to leave somethings for me. he said he went to let him self in an eve wouldn't let him in the door she was growling an physically blocking the door from opening .
LOVE this breed! Ive met 2, & were literally just how you described! The boy was always barking and wanted to play. But I bonded with the girl who was super sweet and less of a barker. Wouldn’t be the best breed for me because I’m lazy, I only take in couch potatoes😂. Pleeease make a video on socializing! Can’t wait to see your new pack member!
Definitely a female for me so far. What about prey drive differences between them? Which one is higher as I'm looking for a lower one if possible as I want to have the possibility of cats in the same household. I'm planning on two cats first then the dobe later when i have more time for it around work.
Katy, I had a female and she was a princess and not protective. The male seemed more loyal, protective etc however did not like children even though both were highly socialized! Now unfortunately they have both passed away ;and we are thinking of getting another and not sure if male or female would be best. The issue we had with the male is he was very protective and he did not like children. The female I felt comfortable around all dogs, people , kids etc. What is your suggestion?
I'm going to get a female for my first dobie, as I really want a one person dog to help me overcome my anxiety and general company as I love to have Velcro pets. I think after I have a family, I'll get a dog
I’ve wanted either a Doberman or a Dalmatian for a while now. Is a Doberman a better choice than a Dalmatian do you think? I’ve heard nightmare stories about Dalmatians and that most Dalmatians end up being deaf. Do you happen to know if those stories about Dalmatians are true?
Could you please do more content on australian shepherds. I am looking into them for a service dog but I want to make sure they are a good fit for me. Lysm💕
Excellent information I'm looking Doberman I'm confused I have 3yars old kid which is good for family and kids male or female please share u r experience
I love my male because he wants lots of love but is so calm and well balanced that he is totally calm and non aggressive with people or dogs outside the house like dog parks or unknown neighbors. But at a dog park: a very nervous/ high energy/crazy german shepherd female who kept picking up her ball and walking around,dropping it,them hysterically barking at it had come up to my med german pincher (med doberman 30lbs female) and my med pincher showed a tiny bit of fang,gtowled a tiny bit,and began backing up to me who is on a few steps behind her. Shepherd barked and took one step closer and our full doberman male jumped up and over BOTH of us (me and med dog), got between us,put his front paws out,head down,butt up,and gave 3 loud,warning barks to the crazy dog. You coule see the dog thinking and as it went to move forward and challenge my dog back,you could see my dog looking at her neck and getting ready to grab her and pin her! Me and my husband grabbed the harness on him and i grabbed my med dog now between my legs...and FINALLY the "too busy on my phone for life" man bun hippy owner gets up and finally with as little effort as possible, tell his dog to stop which she was so nervous and confused she was looking all around instead of at him! And my dobermans (med and large) go to the door if knock or ring and bark/guard it until i tell them to sit and stay. Without that command: they will bite ANYONE who comes in. My med one sleeps on my bed and someone was in our neighbors bkyrd who had never been there before,and my med one was trying to jump on the window sill and barking in case anyone tried to come in! It was so funny because she is so hefty from her breeding but she was fully capable of doing it with her tiny feet/legs to fit on it!
I grew up literally surrounded by dobermans😁 my parents first two were mother/ daughter. Then their second pair were two males, with one (Rommel) growing up with me until he passed when I was in my late teens. My wife and I currently are on German Shepard’s number 2&3 both rescues👍🏻. But she already knows a Doberman is coming into our lives next. The best dogs ever created.
Hi Katy, I will be getting my female doberman puppy in a few weeks now. Silly question, but how can I make sure I am her person and not my husband! I really don't know if there's anything I can actually do to help with this... I will be doing most, if not all, of the training and she will definitively spend a lot more time with me because of our work schedules. But any tips on this would be great! Thank you again for all your cool videos!
Had a male (Jax), then we wanted him to have a companion (wife), so we got Jacky. Jax got stollen, he was almost 2, its been 3 months since he’s been gone. Jaky would be needing a companion now, so we got another female (Yatti), she is 8 weeks old, smartest dobbie weve had yet, she it at 8 commands. In other words we found out females ARE SMARTER and are more protective of their home, in our experience with this wonderful breed.
Have you had any experience with Dobermans as service dogs? I’m looking to get a male Doberman service dog for PTSD, I’m a combat veteran. My family consists of four, my wife and two sons 12 and 16.
I have 2 male Doberman brothers now.. Boba and Jango before them I had Pepper (female) and Diablo (male).... I have already picked out the name the next time I have a female Doberman... I'm gonna call her Ahsoka 😁
My husband and I have always wanted to get two Doberman puppies when we retire in a couple of years. Is it a good idea to get a male and female? My husband has always wanted a female and I've always wanted a male.
My female dobe is opposite. She will go to ANYONE!! Not focused ONLY on me.. She is stubborn and takes a long time to train her on one skill. She is now 2. Got her at 10 months as rescue
I love the ability that the male has with bonding to everyone in the family, but like all the rest about the females, & would probably choose a female over a male 🙂.
If I want a female doberman but would like her to bond with me instead of my husband, any tips ? Should I cuddle her more ? what do you think ? We got our last dog for me but instead she chose him :( Any advices appreciated.
I'm considering a Doberman puppy, we already have a female Boston Terrier ( 4 years old) in our home, which one should I looking for or which one may be more compatible with our Boston? A male or female Doberman?
Was wanting a male but after watching this I definitely think a female would be for be but at the same time would a Doberman be good for me if I'm a social person?
Just because your Doberman “seems” aggressive and protective, that doesn’t mean they’re going to protect you when the time comes because most dogs are all bark and no bite. I’ve seen videos of people testing their Dobermans in a home invasion scenario and their Dobermans were all bark and no bite because they had no protection training. If you want your Doberman to protect you when the time comes, you need to get them into protection training or else you’ll find out the hard way that your Doberman is just all bark and no bite when the time comes.
Katy I got my Doberman to early from the nest, I didn't know she is extremely extremely shy. I take her off leash with me constantly into many stores etc she had an aggression problem with older men! she did not like them but she tolerates them! she's seven now! do you think I will ever get to the point where I don't have to worry about her?
Great share!!! My wife and I would like to own two Dobermans acquiring both as puppies from the same breeder one year apart in age. Would a female and female combination work? Our home consists of a married couple, no kids, and no other pets. We are avid outdoor enthusiasts. We day hike, we backpack and camp, we mountain bike, and we canoe camp quite regularly. Females bond to one owner. I would expect and want that to be my wife for the added protection. That said, will the female ever hang with me in the house or always hang with my wife? Will the female run with me and offer protection for me if I am out and about without my wife? If someone came into our campsite (our space) uninvited, will the female protect both of us since we are all in the same space? We have two buildings at home that are used regularly. If my wife is in one building and I am in the other building, will the female be content to hang with me or will she go nuts until she is reunited with my wife in the other building? And, lastly, how does this all play out if we could and did have two females. Do they both bond to the same adult? Is that an issue thereby preventing two females? Many Thanks!
I'm planning to have another dog, i already have a doberman female (1 year 4 months) and i'm thinking on get another doberman, do u think a female could make a fight with the one i already have? Better have a male? I mean, female and male? Or it's not problem with female and female?
I'm on my 4th Dobe of my lifetime. My last girl was so amazing it took me years to get over her which u never really do. Anyway my new girl isn't quite 6 months and already nearly 60lbs so she's a bigger girl. The taping is taking a bit longer than I hoped also. Right now she's an everyone dog but I know that will change as she matures. She moreless goes where the kids go right now being that she's a kid but I do know how they stick with one person once they mature. She's still a bit standoffish with people. Her parents are both champions so she's had a good bloodline and was the showpuppy of the litter (I had 2nd choice) the breeder said but she's more brute like now than dainty. But I alwasy said I love the males size but females personality and kinda getting best of both worlds now.
Just came across your video! And wow you explained my Kassie. The spice of life is in the girls but if you just want a dog not as much spice life if the males otherwise get the females,,
Which one makes good for psychiatric service dog? I know they both can do it, but which one would do better? I'm asking for future reference. I have a dobeweiler mix that I'm already training for such tasks buy sadly service dogs are retired at 8yr old. I've only owned boys. I find girls to challenge me and are a bit stubborn with me. Battle of the wills regardless of breed. 🤷♀️ I don't know why is that.
One practical aspect that I have not seen mentioned is that females come in heat and that isn’t good for a house dog. The practical drawback with males is that when you let them out to do their business they pee on things you don’t want peed on! You can overcome both these issues fairly easily by blocking the males and putting a diaper on female while she is in heat or simply leaving her outside for the duration. That’s hard for the owner and the dog, but it is nevertheless something else to consider when choosing the sex of the puppy. We just got our third Doberman, a female, and we are really excited. Our first was a male. He was the best, smartest, and easiest to train dog I have ever had. I still miss him. He lived 10 years and 10 days. The next was a female. She was also a good one, but not like the first. She was stubborn and had a tendency to get too big for her britches if you let her sleep on the couch or up on the bed. She did what she wanted to do. She lived 10 years and 11 months. The male just lived to please me and did what I wanted him to do and he did it instantly as well. Both had their good points, and had it not been that we are planning on getting into breeding, we would have gotten a male.
i already have a male. pf course he is the best dog ever. i had a female years ago and she was the best dog ever. dobermans are just wonderful dogs, male or female.
charles diehl I agree wholeheartedly ❤️🥰
charles diehl where did you get your Dobermann
I have a 4 month old red female 💙
@@katybing3452 I'm the youngest person in my family and I have to say my female Doberman who is dead now died a long time ago but she was the most protective of me. She even came up to me all the time wanting me to go to bed with her. She would cuddle with me. The Melt Doberman which was her brother loved me but he was more playful.
@@katybing3452 they both died
For my third Doberman I got a red European girl for my first female dog ever and ....................she’s a damn diva she thinks she’s a queen I love her but it’s like having Beyoncé in my house
HAHA this made me laugh
@@katybing3452 hey I'm definitely thinking about getting the Euro Red. what breeder would you recommend?
hey I'm definitely thinking about getting the Euro Red as well. what breeder would you recommend?
Haha!
@@Powerful9315 If you go to the UDC website (United Doberman Club), they have a list of breeders. They are the European working Doberman but all are reputable breeders.
From hearing this I actually think a female might have meshed better, but we ended up with a male, he’s the best thing ever though so no regrets!
JackieElizabeth I don’t think you can go wrong either way, they are such good dogs!❤️
I would love to have a female, the thought of a dog being loyal to only me is really satisfying if I'm being honest. I suffer from bipolar and because of me moods changing it is difficult for me to keep friends let alone want to be around others half the time. , So for me I would defiantly want a female. Love you girl and thank you again for another amazing video!! xoxo
Shayla Storm babe I totally get how frustrating mental health challenges can be and I am right there with you! I love you so much and I hope you know it gets much better!❤️ I have adhd and have struggled so much with depression/anxiety but my animals have helped me so much! I am so glad you are a part of my family (;
@@katybing3452 thank you so much for the kind words and I am happy I'm part of the family as well
Same! Bipolar here and lots of mood swings and tears. I’m getting my Doberman on 10/31/23! I cannot wait
@giao2380 congratulations on your new baby 🥳🥰 I now have four dogs. Three females and a male who 10ths old now and my best friend! We adopted him bc he’s a chow chow mix with lab and they were going to put him down due to his owner passing unfortunately from cancer. Thankfully they let me step in and take him home !🙌🏼🙏🏼
I just recently got a female Doberman. Did some research and found out that they’re more calm so I went for that 😂 love goofiness of the males but I have a lot of baby cousins running around too so I rather have more of a calm dog who is better with kids!
It sounds like you made the right choice! How is your baby doing!?
Calm? HAHAA!! My female is a complete crackhead
I feel as though a female may work better for me, because it’s just me and that’s mainly it. lol
Madison Jacob yes, a female will be by your side always!
Had a female doberman for 13yrs best dog ever. She was protective of the family. She got a lot exercise but also a couch potato and took up the whole couch.
my female gets very defensive over me nd my son she only follows me or him
@@katybing3452 hi do you sell training videos?
The only breed my wife and I ever have is Doberman's. We've had both male and female. Usually our males were super calm and relaxed. Whereas, with our females, they were usually more needy and clingy. Currently we have Abby a red dobie female. And she is very needy per se. She constantly wants to play. I should note Abby will be 2 yrs old in June (2020). So she still has that puppy in her. However, did have Abby, professionally trained. So she's just great to be around. She's well behaved and listens. That being said, my wife and I do spoil her beyond belief. I would say Abby, is more attached to me. But that's because I take everywhere with me. The other day I had to go to the hardware store for some lumber and fencing. I asked Abby is she wanted to come along. Of course she got super excited....she loves car rides. My wife won't take Abby out, unless it's to the Vet. I enjoy providing "enrichment" for Abby. And maybe we spoil her so much, because our kids are older now and just finished college. The kids are out on their own. We do have a stray kitten we found on our property and took it in. Now Abby gets along quite well with Otis the Cat. Both animals have 207 acres to explore. But we don't let them just go off. Abby has a large fenced area. Why I needed the fence and lumber...going to extend Abby's yard so it's roughly a full acre for her but still attached to the house. Abby is an inside and outside dog...simply what she wants. Except at bed time. Abby is inside sleeping on the bed with us...of course.
JesusCristo! 207 acres. I can barely see 1 acre home here in the big city. I can only imagine the greenery.
ADOPT ME!
I have a 9 months European red girl.
She is my first dog and I love her like crazy.
She is extremely energetic, a bit moody, super smart and she tests me on every new thing.
Like you said, she is always looking for a shortcut 😜
Any skin problems
@Amanda Wallace She is now 13 months and she has never had skin issues.
After the heat she has mellowed down a lot and now she is just amazing.
She is so sweet with everyone and every dog. She loves cuddling. To me she is the perfect dog.
@@mc3744 my baby has some dry skin spots . I have ask vet but they just tell me she will grow out of it. Ella is very energetic ( full speed all the time unless she is sleeping) hoping she slows down a little .
Amanda Wallace
Good luck with her health.
My girl has had a few minor health issues until she was around 10 months old.
@@mc3744 thank you 💙
I’m still a bit conflicted. Although I plan to take my Doberman out everyday to parks and riversides etc, it will be living in an apartment with 4 other roommates. It’s very typical for friends to walk in and out unannounced and I don’t want my dog to be overly protective around strangers that may be walking into the apartment
With traffic in and out all the time, they'll get the routine down..
Glad I found this. I'm on the 4th dobe. I have a female still with me. But have had 2 other males. One lived to 13, last one to only 8 (bladder cancer in March of this year). Got a male who is 11 months old now. First show dog and trying to get as much info to help him be his best since he is going to be in such a different atmosphere than my other boys. I prefer my males. My husband and female dobe are connected at hip. I think you explaining this difference in male vs female has me understanding now. I love them being Velcro dogs, I love them being athletes. But the female and I never bonded like I did with any of my males. I'm guessing now that part of that was just because of the differences between sexes and my time put into the training one on one with the males. I do know that losing each of my males cost me emotionally in a way I have never experienced before. Most painful loss that I am still going through from my loss in March. I have 3 female dogs and decided that I only wanted one male. I will always have a doberman but if I am going to have a male dog it will always be a doberman. No other breed has brought me the love and devotion of this breed. I am a mobile groomer and have been snubbed by community because I have gone the show route. I simply don't care. They have not experienced what I have. I have 2 rescues and will always do my part there. But to have a well bred dobe..... nothing in the world touches this. Sorry this was long. But it was so heartfelt.
Don't grieve too longYou did the right thing I wish I understood that previously following up Dobermans one after the other isn't it so nice that the all have different personalities it's impossible to compare theTwo or three
Hailey is my third Doberman all have been females I love how focused they are in any thing they do. Spot on with how they pick only one person. Plus as much as you train them there also training you. So smart funny crazy I love my shadow so much. Dobies rule. Thank you
Had a female for 9 years. She was a sweetheart to strangers in public but for some reason she got an attitude around women every time I had one over.
Very good information on the Doberman, from the information you given on the Doberman, people can have a good idea on which one they want the male or female, great job, and you have a good looking Doberman.
Thank you so much!❤️❤️
Spot on 👍 I have had both. I have a male now. I like the goofy, happy go lucky, not so serious attitude of the males. But don't get me wrong, I love the girls too. Good job.
I have both a male and female and this is pretty accurate. Both have different personalities but very loyal, smart and protective. Best breed dog ever. I love them both equally 🥰
how do the male and female live together? Any challenges? I am looking for two dob puppies now and leaning towards two males, but considering one of each.. any feedback you can share would be great!
My 6 year old doberbaby often reverts to puppy like behaviour. Especially after a brisk run, we go jogging or on the bike for 100-150 minutes daily depending on the weather. Even in the rain or snow we'll still do an hour.
I want to believe it's the vigorous exercise, cold temps & the effect of coming into a very warm home. He'll get the zoomies for 5 minutes then be nipping, chewing my hands and arms. He goes from being a docile lap dog to a literal land shark.
Correct on differences! But, realizing they have their own personalities in spite of their gender sometimes. Louie is a fawn (Isabella) Doberman so only 6% of the breed. He is different in a lot of ways. We got him so early at 8 weeks and started socializing him right away. Now, at 15 months old he is very very lovable. He is well trained but unusually gentle. Definitely a 100 on the Goofy scale, though. However, here is an example of his unique personality: He will play as hard as he can with any dog that wants to play. But, yesterday at the dog park, he started playing with a basset hound puppy and was very protective and gentle. Lots of licking, lots of laying down and letting her play with his ears. He is sensitive enough to hone in on the other dogs level. He is the same way with kids at different ages. And, he anticipates my mood very well and adjusts to it. But, then that maybe normal. Other Doberman males I have known seem to be more aggressive or impatient. He does go into an intense protective mode if he is not introduced by me, but I can get him to back down or be more alert very easily. As a pup, the breeder did not even want to let him go either because of his personality: a little lovable, pudgy burrito. Now, he is weighing in at 95 lbs so that can be problem when he sits on your face on the couch. In his mind, he is still a lap sized burrito puppy. GOOFBALL!!!!
Her crop turned out perfectly! I had a female (RIP) that was amazing! I then adopted a male, and his prey drive was unmanageable, sadly.
I do have to say that my female wasn't anything like the list you had. She fell more into the male characteristics. Goofy, loved everybody (especially cats and the UPS man!).
I had a 115 lb female (who was NOT fat and just a freakish goliath) She was the offspring from parents names King kong and Godzilla respectively. Also at 2 different times had 2 other females 80 and 90 lbs. All but one lived around 10/11 yrs with one dying of some form of crappy breast cancer for lack of better term that came fast and out of nowhere and took her quick upon its onset. She was 6 :( and as crappy luck would have it, she was my favorite and we had that deeper than usual bond with made it even harder
Testosterone has an impact on both joints and the cardiovascular system; it is true for all mammals (including humans and Dobermans).
I have an amazingly gentle, sweet female Doberman. She is smart, ready to please and easy to exercise. She is now six and the best dog I have ever had.
The 1oregongirl omg she sounds awesome!❤️
I've had 2 females and 2 males. My current Doberman is a male. First off, the whole breed is amazing, very willing to please, intelligent, driven, capable and attentive. Both sexes are highly trainable. The males work better for me. Like she said, they don't ask questions, they just go go go. There is nothing they can't learn. I like the higher drive of the males. Their protection instincts are centered around the person, the handler. Females seem more apt to protect the zone, your whole house. I also agree that protection training isn't really a priority. They are naturally intimidating and protective without turning that up. You can see some of the very many skills the Doberman can achieve on my GreatDogs channel. Cheers!
I love this comment ❤️❤️
Seems opposite of most all info about f protecting zone and male protecting human. Thats backwards. 😎😎
Great video on dobies. My Ruby is a pit mix and she is totally goofy. She is like controlled chaos if that makes any sense lol. But she has made great strides since I got her. She actually had a warning on her paperwork to have 2 people handle her. Within 3 years of getting her she she has already came in 1st place in a trick dog contest.
Pawsuasive Dog Teaching I love this so much ❤️
@@katybing3452 ya have lots of cool videos yourself. Ruby and I got a lip syncing challenge video on ours. It is actually pretty easy to teach. As soon as the video gets like 100 likes or our facebook group where we have the video posted gets 200 shares I will be making a video on how to teach your do to lip sync :)
I personally have a female doberman and her name is Pam! and she is basically everything you described! very loyal to me and my girlfriend and no one else! She is very protective and very serious about the jobs given to her. We love her and she loves us! Keep going Doberman videos!
Omg she sounds amazing!❤️
This was so helpful!! My husband and I will be getting a female as our first dobie. We currently have a (also our first of this breed) male GSD. So excited to get our new puppy! 🥰
I wish for a doberman 😍😍😍 i feel like a male might be good for me. They are crazy and happy like me. No offense on female a doberman. They are beautiful too.
Louana Rose ❤️❤️
No choice in our case. We already had a male Standard Poodle, so we got a female Doberman. They are totally in love.
That is awesome!!
I have had 3 males and 3 females; currently have 2 females and I love both but lean more towards the females...and these characteristics are pretty spot-on..
Vanessa Finney oh wow! That’s a lot! Do they all get along?
@@katybing3452 I had 3 at one time and they did awesome together.. Due to DCM I lost 2 of them so now I currently have a 9 year old female and just got a baby who is now 13 weeks old and both girls get along well....
More Doberman content!
sawan pimpalkhare will do❤️
Hi. I have 2 Dobermans, a male and a female. your video is all about generalities of this breed and I thank you thank you for it, however. it all depends on the relationship you have with your animals. LOVE these dogs they are definitely the best ever !!
I have a female Doberman. Athena. You are spot on about her amazing qualities. We want another dog and considered a male Doberman. This was helpful.
Valerie Briggs thank you so much!❤️❤️
I worked with a lot of Dobermans (they all were trained for protectionwork), and I can honestly say, that female Dobermans can be just as feisty/difficult with other females as males with other males.
We have a red female. She is 1year old. Still training. Winter set me back. But looks like an early spring 🌼. She is sassy, loving, stubborn. So far she loves everyone and will try to continue that personality.
Got a european female doberman and she is 19 weeks now. Crazy energy...literally you have to exercise them to calm them down. I love it though because I like doing stuff. That's what I wanted.
She's extremely well tempered and great with kids and dogs. No issues at all there. Couldn't ask for a better temper.
She is smart and learns quick, however she is stubborn, that is for dang sure. I'm sure some of it is the puppy still, but dang.
She loves playing and has a high toy drive. Very good dog overall. Can't wait to see how big she gets her mom was 80lbs and her dad was 110lb.
I've always had female Doberman and am currently on my fourth female. Delilah was my first and my brother had her 2 brothers. My next female was Brooklyn followed by Nadia and now Athena.
I have a male 7 m/o European Doberman who is 75 lbs and growing. Originally, I wanted a red female (it would also be my first dog) but all the breeders we've talked to recommended a male because (according to them) males bond better with their owners and they are not drama queens, like the females. Our good boy is a great. He gets along with everyone in the family, including our cat. He is also very goofy and wants to play tug a lot. I am the only one who is training him and spend the most time with him, so he tends to listen to me more than other people in the household. He is also becoming territorial and barks at animals and people outside our house, but he never barks at anyone when we are out on walks. He is also very smart and easy to train. We are pretty much down with obedience training and currently doing Schutzhund.
Omg that is incredible ❤️❤️❤️
Great video. I got my female Doberman at 8 weeks old back in 2014. I will say you are 100% correct about her focus on performing a job. When outside she immediately goes on Airplane patrol and protects our house from all the invading planes landing at our local airport. There is absolutely no ball throwing or playing that will take her eyes from the sky for 1 second, but on walks or at the park she does not do this and just wants to explore. I will also say she loves and interacts with my wife, son and I all equally. She loves to lick, swim and challenge authority. She has also not slowed down 1 bit and is basically a forever puppy. I doubt I will ever own another Doberman again. Despite how much we love ours as I get older I can't see myself being able to dedicate the HOURS EVERY DAY these dogs need in order to be happy and at peace.
I grew up with a female Doberman and she was incredibly obedience and protective for the whole family, but she does not like children. She was the perfect dog. She knew when to protect the house and when to play. She was very attentive. I’m thinking of getting another one but I was thinking about getting a mail but I don’t know if I should just stick with the female as I’m familiar with.
I Have Three Male Doberman’s There Very Friendly And Calm I love Them So Much 💛 There Ears and Tails are Docced But You DONT need to do This I love my Doberman’s Btw these dogs are a Handful
Paige Armour ❤️❤️❤️
My family and I have a female Doberman Shepard!
lol GUYS omg that’s such a cute name!
My husband and I raised Dobermann for 11 year’s and I haven’t had a dog for over 30years my husband just passed away in 2018 I I want a Dobermann again but can’t take care of one not sure about anything at this time but every one says I need a dog .
Still grieving so don’t know what to do 🤷♀️😷
I too wanted to certainly go for a boy...
But after listening to you i realised that it's like i am cutting sort the terbulances a boy would bring and still retaining the charm of having a doberman... By just getting a girl...
That's a very person specific opinion suited to my personal requirements... Indeed DOBERMANs are awesome.. irrespective of the gender...
Thanks for such an informative video...
I’ve had both male and female Dobermans. I own a female now, and I feel she’s bonded more to the family as a whole than my male did. My male only ever liked me, he tolerated my husband. My female now spends time with everyone in the family. She is more stoic, moody, more in tune with my emotions. I love them both, my favorite dog breed. 🖤
I plan to get a female next year! I can't wait.... what kind of Doberman is Jazzy??? American or European??
Males are "happy go lucky" I guess I felt that
We just adopted a female doberman and waiting to take her home. She was in a shelter and we were not planning on adopting any dog let alone a doberman. So now I'm researching everything I can bout the breed..
Recently lost my 9 year old GSD Zeke to cancer. He was a rescue, our third Shepherd. Took all three through advanced obedience and one through early stages of service (distraction) training. Looking to move to a short haired dog that's still very trainable, a good protector, and a good family dog. Wondering how you would compare the breeds, how similar, how different, what are best print and online resources to learn from?
Have outlived 6 Dobermans so far....3 female, and 3 male....Three from Puppies, and 3 adopted as adults. #1 Doberman was in 1957. #6 (male) passed in 2018. ALL were wonderful friends! Wondering IF I might be able to outlive #7? Maybe "that should be the goal"? I miss them all!
I’m still so conflicted. I have a male dog (very submissive/insecure) and I’m looking to get a Dobermann for service work. I think a female would be better for my household, but I’m worried about her being uncomfortable around strangers because she will be with me in public all the time. What do you think?
If you socialize her properly she won’t be afraid of strangers, she will just be alert around them. (: definitely go for a female in your cade
That’s great that you bike ride with your dog. I always did this with my dogs. I put a short leash on the seat post. Don’t hold the leash or wrap it around your wrist. Tie a short leash to the seat post.
Hi Im getting a girl doberman in 2 weeks! I'm super excited and extremely nervous. She will be my first dog and I own a KING size bed for us to sleep on :)
I have had both and you are spot on with the differences between males and females. Good video!
My grandma’s male Doberman Wilson actually gets along with my 10 lb mini dachshund Princeton. Both males and they get along fine lol. Not trying to hate at all I just thought it was interesting!💕 I love Oxer, Jazzy, and the rest of the pack!👍
That is awesome! I know it’s totally possible for male dobes to be around other dogs, I just think the trend is that it can be more difficult ❤️ and oxer says hi!!
Katy Bing Aw thats amazing, thanks Oxer! And ps. I lile female dogs better anyways 😂 Thanks for replying!💕
Relief i hv a docile male cav. My daughter wl b getting a male Dobie puppy. He wl come overb2 days a week while I babysit 4 yr old granddaughter will they get along being socialized so early
Also, there is European & American dobermans. There is differences between the 2 as well as female VS male.
Great break down of the facts❤
Great video! I have a male doberman who is 19 months old and this is pretty spot on, although I think you were off a bit on the sizing for males, at least by akc standards. They should be 26 to 28 inches at the withers, with 27.5 considered ideal. The tall skinny ones you often see are not correctly bred. Everything else is spot on, my boy is goofy and clumsy, and he is pretty high energy. He needs quite a bit of exercise and mental stimulation. He is very territorial and if I ever got another dog, it would be a female because he's never met a female he doesn't like. He has occasionally had issues with other males, but it's typically because they try to dominate him and he won't have it! Lol. He is super gentle with my kids and is a great family dog. I really couldn't ask for a better dog. Thanks again for the great video!
This is such an insightful comment, your boy sounds wonderful and it sounds like you are very in tune with him! Thank you so much for the pointer❤️ I appreciate you (;
We broght a 10 month old Male Doberman thats not fixed into our home with 3 bullies that are not fixed. They ALL get along fine. He did challenge one of the bullies for the alpha spot when he first met them but now they all act like they been together since birth. You can bring in an older male Doberman into a home with other male dogs if your a responsible owner and have control over your pack. We currently have a pack of 6 and everyone respects everyone else because we provide the structure and safety for them.
your video was so educational for me. i am wanting to get a doberman. but was really debating between male and female. i own a female dalmatian. so thank you so the video !!
i got gifted a 7 year old female. she wasn't really all that active or protective. she never learned to play. she grew up in a kennel only used for breeding. its been 2 years when she finally bonded with me. noone can come near my house or mess with me. an i just moved out of my parents house. its good having my best friend watching my back.. i was at work. my uncle came over to to leave somethings for me. he said he went to let him self in an eve wouldn't let him in the door she was growling an physically blocking the door from opening .
LOVE this breed! Ive met 2, & were literally just how you described! The boy was always barking and wanted to play. But I bonded with the girl who was super sweet and less of a barker. Wouldn’t be the best breed for me because I’m lazy, I only take in couch potatoes😂. Pleeease make a video on socializing! Can’t wait to see your new pack member!
Amandaa Lois omg I love the self awareness!😂❤️ and I will totally do a video on socializing!
Katy Bing Yay! Thank you so much! Love your content and thanx for sharing your knowledge!
Definitely a female for me so far. What about prey drive differences between them? Which one is higher as I'm looking for a lower one if possible as I want to have the possibility of cats in the same household. I'm planning on two cats first then the dobe later when i have more time for it around work.
Katy, I had a female and she was a princess and not protective. The male seemed more loyal, protective etc however did not like children even though both were highly socialized! Now unfortunately they have both passed away ;and we are thinking of getting another and not sure if male or female would be best. The issue we had with the male is he was very protective and he did not like children. The female I felt comfortable around all dogs, people , kids etc. What is your suggestion?
I'm going to get a female for my first dobie, as I really want a one person dog to help me overcome my anxiety and general company as I love to have Velcro pets. I think after I have a family, I'll get a dog
I’ve wanted either a Doberman or a Dalmatian for a while now. Is a Doberman a better choice than a Dalmatian do you think? I’ve heard nightmare stories about Dalmatians and that most Dalmatians end up being deaf. Do you happen to know if those stories about Dalmatians are true?
It is possible that a dalmatian can become deaf
Could you please do more content on australian shepherds. I am looking into them for a service dog but I want to make sure they are a good fit for me. Lysm💕
Madison Munoz yes I am actually filming one tomorrow so it will be up next week❤️
Excellent information
I'm looking Doberman I'm confused I have 3yars old kid which is good for family and kids male or female please share u r experience
I love my male because he wants lots of love but is so calm and well balanced that he is totally calm and non aggressive with people or dogs outside the house like dog parks or unknown neighbors. But at a dog park: a very nervous/ high energy/crazy german shepherd female who kept picking up her ball and walking around,dropping it,them hysterically barking at it had come up to my med german pincher (med doberman 30lbs female) and my med pincher showed a tiny bit of fang,gtowled a tiny bit,and began backing up to me who is on a few steps behind her. Shepherd barked and took one step closer and our full doberman male jumped up and over BOTH of us (me and med dog), got between us,put his front paws out,head down,butt up,and gave 3 loud,warning barks to the crazy dog. You coule see the dog thinking and as it went to move forward and challenge my dog back,you could see my dog looking at her neck and getting ready to grab her and pin her! Me and my husband grabbed the harness on him and i grabbed my med dog now between my legs...and FINALLY the "too busy on my phone for life" man bun hippy owner gets up and finally with as little effort as possible, tell his dog to stop which she was so nervous and confused she was looking all around instead of at him! And my dobermans (med and large) go to the door if knock or ring and bark/guard it until i tell them to sit and stay. Without that command: they will bite ANYONE who comes in. My med one sleeps on my bed and someone was in our neighbors bkyrd who had never been there before,and my med one was trying to jump on the window sill and barking in case anyone tried to come in! It was so funny because she is so hefty from her breeding but she was fully capable of doing it with her tiny feet/legs to fit on it!
I grew up literally surrounded by dobermans😁 my parents first two were mother/ daughter. Then their second pair were two males, with one (Rommel) growing up with me until he passed when I was in my late teens. My wife and I currently are on German Shepard’s number 2&3 both rescues👍🏻. But she already knows a Doberman is coming into our lives next. The best dogs ever created.
My female Dobie is Isis named after the Egyptian goddess. I would recommend Cleopatra, Athena, Zena, Persephone, Ma’at, Nephthys, Bastet🤷🏾♂️
Another excellent informative video KatyB ! Keep posting !
God, Country & You thank you so much!❤️

Hi Katy, I will be getting my female doberman puppy in a few weeks now. Silly question, but how can I make sure I am her person and not my husband! I really don't know if there's anything I can actually do to help with this... I will be doing most, if not all, of the training and she will definitively spend a lot more time with me because of our work schedules. But any tips on this would be great! Thank you again for all your cool videos!
Had a male (Jax), then we wanted him to have a companion (wife), so we got Jacky. Jax got stollen, he was almost 2, its been 3 months since he’s been gone. Jaky would be needing a companion now, so we got another female (Yatti), she is 8 weeks old, smartest dobbie weve had yet, she it at 8 commands. In other words we found out females ARE SMARTER and are more protective of their home, in our experience with this wonderful breed.
Have you had any experience with Dobermans as service dogs? I’m looking to get a male Doberman service dog for PTSD, I’m a combat veteran. My family consists of four, my wife and two sons 12 and 16.
I want a Doberman but I don’t want a dangerous dog. What should I do??
Socialize and train it.
I have 2 male Doberman brothers now.. Boba and Jango before them I had Pepper (female) and Diablo (male).... I have already picked out the name the next time I have a female Doberman... I'm gonna call her Ahsoka 😁
My husband and I have always wanted to get two Doberman puppies when we retire in a couple of years. Is it a good idea to get a male and female? My husband has always wanted a female and I've always wanted a male.
My female dobe is opposite. She will go to ANYONE!! Not focused ONLY on me.. She is stubborn and takes a long time to train her on one skill. She is now 2. Got her at 10 months as rescue
I love the ability that the male has with bonding to everyone in the family, but like all the rest about the females, & would probably choose a female over a male 🙂.
What is the right size kennel for average male doberman? Google says 48". Does it mean 48" hight or length. Thank you!
If I want a female doberman but would like her to bond with me instead of my husband, any tips ? Should I cuddle her more ? what do you think ? We got our last dog for me but instead she chose him :( Any advices appreciated.
I wish people whould stop saying which is better. You should be asking which is more appropriate for your needs and lifestyle.
I am big Doberman lover thanks for this video great job 👍
Which would be better to be something like a service dog?
I'm considering a Doberman puppy, we already have a female Boston Terrier ( 4 years old) in our home, which one should I looking for or which one may be more compatible with our Boston? A male or female Doberman?
Nate Hardy I would say male! (: SSA can always be an issue
Was wanting a male but after watching this I definitely think a female would be for be but at the same time would a Doberman be good for me if I'm a social person?
Just because your Doberman “seems” aggressive and protective, that doesn’t mean they’re going to protect you when the time comes because most dogs are all bark and no bite. I’ve seen videos of people testing their Dobermans in a home invasion scenario and their Dobermans were all bark and no bite because they had no protection training. If you want your Doberman to protect you when the time comes, you need to get them into protection training or else you’ll find out the hard way that your Doberman is just all bark and no bite when the time comes.
Do u think a Doberman would make a good service dog? If so would a male or female be better?
Katy I got my Doberman to early from the nest, I didn't know she is extremely extremely shy. I take her off leash with me constantly into many stores etc she had an aggression problem with older men! she did not like them but she tolerates them! she's seven now! do you think I will ever get to the point where I don't have to worry about her?
Great share!!! My wife and I would like to own two Dobermans acquiring both as puppies from the same breeder one year apart in age. Would a female and female combination work? Our home consists of a married couple, no kids, and no other pets. We are avid outdoor enthusiasts. We day hike, we backpack and camp, we mountain bike, and we canoe camp quite regularly. Females bond to one owner. I would expect and want that to be my wife for the added protection. That said, will the female ever hang with me in the house or always hang with my wife? Will the female run with me and offer protection for me if I am out and about without my wife? If someone came into our campsite (our space) uninvited, will the female protect both of us since we are all in the same space? We have two buildings at home that are used regularly. If my wife is in one building and I am in the other building, will the female be content to hang with me or will she go nuts until she is reunited with my wife in the other building? And, lastly, how does this all play out if we could and did have two females. Do they both bond to the same adult? Is that an issue thereby preventing two females? Many Thanks!
My female Doberman is 32 in tall and she weighs 95 lb
Mark Williams omg she’s huge!!❤️
I'm planning to have another dog, i already have a doberman female (1 year 4 months) and i'm thinking on get another doberman, do u think a female could make a fight with the one i already have? Better have a male? I mean, female and male? Or it's not problem with female and female?
Would a nueterd male get along better with my little female Chihuahua?
Doberman as in European or doberman pinschers as in American dogs??
I'm on my 4th Dobe of my lifetime. My last girl was so amazing it took me years to get over her which u never really do. Anyway my new girl isn't quite 6 months and already nearly 60lbs so she's a bigger girl. The taping is taking a bit longer than I hoped also. Right now she's an everyone dog but I know that will change as she matures. She moreless goes where the kids go right now being that she's a kid but I do know how they stick with one person once they mature. She's still a bit standoffish with people. Her parents are both champions so she's had a good bloodline and was the showpuppy of the litter (I had 2nd choice) the breeder said but she's more brute like now than dainty. But I alwasy said I love the males size but females personality and kinda getting best of both worlds now.
If I already have a female dog in the house. Should I get a female or a male Doberman
Stoic does not have a 'k' at the end of the word.
Just came across your video! And wow you explained my Kassie. The spice of life is in the girls but if you just want a dog not as much spice life if the males otherwise get the females,,
Which one makes good for psychiatric service dog? I know they both can do it, but which one would do better? I'm asking for future reference. I have a dobeweiler mix that I'm already training for such tasks buy sadly service dogs are retired at 8yr old. I've only owned boys. I find girls to challenge me and are a bit stubborn with me. Battle of the wills regardless of breed. 🤷♀️ I don't know why is that.
One practical aspect that I have not seen mentioned is that females come in heat and that isn’t good for a house dog. The practical drawback with males is that when you let them out to do their business they pee on things you don’t want peed on! You can overcome both these issues fairly easily by blocking the males and putting a diaper on female while she is in heat or simply leaving her outside for the duration. That’s hard for the owner and the dog, but it is nevertheless something else to consider when choosing the sex of the puppy. We just got our third Doberman, a female, and we are really excited. Our first was a male. He was the best, smartest, and easiest to train dog I have ever had. I still miss him. He lived 10 years and 10 days. The next was a female. She was also a good one, but not like the first. She was stubborn and had a tendency to get too big for her britches if you let her sleep on the couch or up on the bed. She did what she wanted to do. She lived 10 years and 11 months. The male just lived to please me and did what I wanted him to do and he did it instantly as well. Both had their good points, and had it not been that we are planning on getting into breeding, we would have gotten a male.
