This is so accurate, I've had Dobies since the late 70's and this video is bang on the money. PS there is no better breed on the planet
I was thinking the same thing. Very accurate! We've had multiple female Dobermans over the years. Best dogs.
I also agree and I have never had one ever. Maybe the stigma attached. But I have never seen such an easier dog to train that is loyal loving and protects their owner with their lives.
I’m looking forward to getting my first!!
well they're awesome and I'd love to have one, have known a few. I have a GSD right now and she's 8 already, she's my dream dog. I think I should have her quite a few years yet hopefully. Dobermans should have a longer life span *wish*
Kevin Jones yes it is german shepherd and Rottweiler
I have a female Doberman. Shes amazing! I always had a hard time keeping friends because I have depression so I got her as a pup and its been 8 years now and she's really my best friend. She gets me up when im down. She wakes me up with kisses cuddles with me at night. She keeps me active. I still don't have friends but she is all i need. ❤
Big hug
I'm your friend.
@@eyesea123 Thank you 😊🙏
@@spitfirenutspitfirenut4835 Your awesome. Thank you.
I will love you and your dog forever and ever
Doberwoman vs Doberman 😁
This is one of those short... simple... comments that just gets me laughing for two days straight. Thanks, Cosmic. Haha! This should have been the title of the video!
@@DobermanPlanet change the title then
Lel
hi C...
'
yeaa that right
Hahaha i love it 😂😂😂
Someone I know had a female Doberman and he was walking her in a park and there was a Pitbull type dog attacking a little girl, and without being told she went in grabbed the Pitbull, shook it, and tossed it aside and saved the child. Some years later she died from a heart problem more than likely what you mentioned, and her owner had no idea she had anything wrong with her. So sad 😢
what a good girl😢
That’s why I do not like full blooded Pitbulls. If it’s a mixture of pitbull and another dog breed then I’m ok with it. But good girl for protecting that child.
I have been using this ruclips.net/user/postUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU as a handy reference book. I read through the book and enjoyed the little glimpses of examples. I love that this author believes in rescue dogs. The tips and training has been invaluable and gave me moments of...."how simple why didn't I think of it" so it's been a great tool. Thank you!
10 to 13 years is not enough. My girl is going on 9 and it hurts knowing she is at the end of her life soon
That is the most common range of deaths but i had a pit bull and a Doberman they died around 19-23 years of age so it really depends on the dog and the dogs health
Yeah kibble diet is usually pretty bad, dogs should be fed raw meat, eggs and vegetables, the omnivore diet, that's the most healthy for them
My doberman died really young( got killed by thiefs) at the age of 5 he guarded his home like no other dog i had and he was a one person dog he only ate from my hands sometimes it was hard cause i had to go on trips. Many years past and i still mis him since then i never bought a dog again
My Doberman mix died at 17 yrs and 2 months. It’s been years and I still think of her every single day. Was not able to get another dog ever since then 😢
@@princessathena2271 interesting, what was their diet and physical routine?
I’ve never owned a dog before, we got a female Doberman 13 years ago and she’s still going strong! The best dog ever!!!
James Wagner Hi James. Let me kindly ask you brother, what kind of food do you like to feed your dog? Because 13 years and still going strong is truly a blessing in the skies!!
Just moved to a new place where I can finally have a dog..
I want a Doberman too!!
Bless up man haha
OnlyGodCanMoveUs all my dogs have lived up to almost 18 years which I know sounds crazy! But we've figured that feeding them regular human food actually helps them a lot,you can mix your food with theirs
What did you feed your dobie exactly .?
How was she to train? I'm thinking of getting one after college.
That is true, my family has bred pure German Shepherds and Doberman Shepherds and we've never fed them dog food, only human food(with no oil, no salt), Meat...they have lived to 15years
....I thought I wanted a male because I wanted a “big” dobbie but watching this I %100 want a female now
I pretty much found all what you said to be the case with my male and female dobies. My male was more dominant in protecting the house and whenever out, my female was always more focussed on keeping an eye on whoever came near me. Neither were vicious by the way...but they certainly acted the part. My male was initially VERY difficult to train and I had to send the female to a relative for a couple of weeks so I could bond with and train the male without interruption...that really turned the corner...it was kinda like before that he knew I had a better bond with the female (who I had first). My male lost soooo many collars, my female never lost one🤣🤣. He was proper goofy and would cry if I shut the toilet door and had to ALWAYS be touching me whether head in my lap, leaning against me or legs across mine etc and would often do the dead weight thing if you tried to move his enoooormous body🤣...really great companion...you are never alone..I am a marathon stroker so I guess he was a good fit. My female was indeed smaller and more delicate, sat in a chair like a human and really picked up on emotions...and would even go to comfort strangers by leaning against them or if they were accepting she`d gently put her head in their lap if they were crying. She was incredibly gentle with children, whilst she at times dragged me around on the lead, if a little human had the lead, she suddenly knew how to walk in SUPER slow motion🙄...incredible! I always watched both dogs very carefully around kids and whilst neither of them showed even a smidgen of aggression towards us or kids, my female was particularly much more passive with children than the male. Finally, guess who was the only one to have knocked me over on a walk in the park....yep the goofy 🤪 male...bumbling along, playing together and he took me clean off my feet and airbound🤣🤣. My female was always much calmer and more careful...he adored her and would give her all his toys and food if I let him. She, however seemed to think he was annoying and beneath her...kinda like the lady and the tramp cartoon but sometimes she'd show him she loved him too. It has been nearly 15years since they both passed and I still think dobies are the greatest pets😊
Thank you for sharing this. Really makes me want to get 2 beautiful Dobermans, male and female ❤
@@YS-rk6me ❤My pleasure YS...they really are a fabulous breed
Was fun to read, thank you.
reading this gave me a big smile, thanks!!
Nice! It's neat to hear your perspective and this sounds very similar to the Cane Corso. The males are more protective of property whe the females are more focused on protecting the person. It's like that maternal instinct kicks in! Both want to protect you and will but it's just different and it's very interesting to see the similarities with other breeds!
I have both a male and a female doberman and this is pretty accurate...
The female is a lot more stoic and reserved, will accept attention but doesn't beg for it, VERY in tune with human emotions and she's a lot easier to train.
The male is quite clumsy and playful, seeks plenty of attention constantly, is very attentive (follows me around like a shadow, notices any movement) and a bit slower to grasp concepts, but he still gets there with praise and treats!
They both have different personalities but are both very loyal, sweet and protective dogs. I love them both equally!
jasmineflower did you get ‘em at the same time? if not, how far apart are they?
@@supermansbabygirl6483 the girl is one year younger!
The following like a shadow part is insanely accurate. No matter how tired he is or how well-locked the house is, my dobie will always follow me whenever I move. Sometimes I'll hide from him after he goes downstairs & once he realises he starts to fret & runs around looking for me. Also whenever dad or I go for bike rides & runs without him he barks & cries out of frustration.
I'd argue they are the most loyal/needy dogs in existence lol.
Dude my female never stops begging for attention 😂😂 she constantly comes and tucks her head under my arm so I can pet her while I’m sitting down
aly cat Mine does this too! She starts barking and following us around for attention!!
I've only had one Doberman, a female named Jenny, and that was back in the 1970's and she fit your profile exactly. She was a one person dog, and I was that person, and had little interest in guarding property but was very focused on protecting me personally. I am of the belief that a female Doberman is probably the easiest dog to train for anything. I spent 20 minutes one day teaching her to come to heel whenever I approached a street and to not begin to cross unless I did so myself or if I said, "Okay Jenny" and after that one lesson she obeyed that rule for the rest of her life. I've also had contact with many male Dobermans owned by other people and they also fit your profile of the males. Although I love the breed very much I've only had one dog of each breed during my life----I am now 71----and have since had a Golden Retriever, who was an amazing dog, and currently have Logan, my magnificent male Rhodesian Ridgeback who is every bit as loyal as a Doberman and also very protective. Basically a good dog is a good dog is a good dog, no matter the breed, but for beauty and brains it is hard to beat a good Doberman Pinscher.
I loved your comment Jack! Thank you so much for taking the time to share that. I totally agree with what you said about a good dog being a good dog. It is hard to beat a good Dobie but it sounds like you have one amazing Rhodesian also! Good luck to you and your family! Is another Dobie a possibility in the future you think? :-)
I have both. The younger male is by far my favorite 🤐. I do like that my female is calm whereas my male is ADD. He's nine months now and shes three years. Awesome breed.
Jack Kangaroo... OMG when I read your post I thought "did I write this"...No kidding, I had my first Doberman (in the early 70's) her name was Jenny too! She was the smartest most loyal companion out of the 4 I've had. So funny they had the same name. I don't think I ever had her on a leash I swear the only difference between her and humans was she couldn't talk. She was one of the first "frisbee" dogs I ever saw that was her thing and she loved swimming diving and hiking and gentle as a lamb and would never hesitate when I told her to do something. Funny how Dobermans had a stigma about them being "killer" dogs back then...now it's pit bull types that get that honor.
BTW her name came from the song "Jennifer Juniper" by Donovan I can't say why but it stuck, sometimes I would call her Jennifer like if she needed scolding...she knew.
And I miss her to this day, good thing my current dobbie "Lyra" can't read she'd get jealous.
@@johngibson6966 will the male make a mess and chew up your upholster?
@@harryberry474 I remember that song, Jennifer Juniper, but I just always liked the name Jennifer and it was easily shortened into "Jenny," so I named her that. One or two syllable names seem to work best for dogs, I mean, if you named your dog Mephistopholes or Pappadopolis they would likely get confused. Anyway, you may have heard that back in the early days of the Doberman breed in America----I'm thinking like 1930's or so----they were known as "the dog with the human brain" because they learned everything so quickly. They are a wonderful example of a German working breed and were actually chosen by the Marine Corps during WWII as their breed of choice for the war in the Pacific and they served valiantly as sentry and scout dogs. Many of them died in the war and there is a monument to these fallen hero animals on the island of Guam where they are buried in a small cemetery there. Google search "war dog memorial on Guam" and you can find more information including photos of the Doberman sculpture that is still there.
I’m a guy and I’ve had 2 dogs growing up before I left the hometown, 1 male and 1 female. And I can honestly say the female was literally my best non human friend. I could just feel the love as soon as i walked in the house. A weird unspoken connection I had with her where I really didn’t need to spend house of training with her she just understood what I was telling her and I understood what she was asking of me. Loved going on hikes with her she would go off on her own on the trail but as soon as I got out of her view she would stop and wait for me to catch up until I told her to go off. I’ll always have a female dog from now on.
Have a pup and she’s legit what you just described
I've had 16 dogs. By far, the best dogs I've had are the four dobermans. Both the boys and the girls were sweet. The boys always made me laugh, while the girls stole my heart. Found that while people feared the males due to their size, the females were more protective. The males tended to be more friendly to strangers. When deciding whether to get a Male or female doberman, I say get one of each.
When my little brother was born. My Doberman Bella would watch over like he was her own. Every time he would start crying, Bella would run to the scene and lay next to him. I miss my big girl :( (she lives with my mom in my hometown)
very sweet
I have heard similar stories of Doberman mothers taking the human mother role and carrying children back in the house if they were outside too long in the snow...lol..very special dogs!
Lol this sounds more like personality traits of my husband and me
sugar looks like you and your husband are Dobermans
He does have elegance at smoothing over those male characteristics that are the same across species ha ha
😂😂😂😂
Yeah these are just typical male and female traits in the animal kingdom
Hahahahahaha yes👌😆😂😂
I got my doberman to be my dog since my wife already had a labrador... my dog had other plans she decided she will only listen to my wife 😂
Haha poor you
I have a 7 month old male Dobie..... very accurate description other than he is VERY in tune with my emotions, even as a puppy. If I'm upset, he wont stop snuggling me. If he figures out that its a person in the room upsetting me, he switches from being social to a one person dog almost instantly. My sleep, anxiety and depression has improved so much with him already, i cant imagine getting a different breed now.
Female Doberman, was my soul mate and protector. Smartest dog I ever had. I could just look at her and she would know what I needed from her. She loved everyone! Thank you for your channel. They are so misunderstood!
Amen to that! I'm tired of debating my ex about them. He thinks they're naturally mean and I tell him they're naturally (as one breeder put it) "marshmallows"!! Big lap dogs! I love them! 💞
Yep. 100% true!
Most definitely !!!!
My Dad brought home a Dobie pup when I was about 5. She became my dog and the best babysitter my Mom could have asked for.
Hello Kate how are you doing today?
We adopted a mature Female Dobie. As she was passing away at the veterinarian office, I sat in the flor with her and my tears puddles on the floor as I thanked her for being the absolute best babysitter to my boys I could ever ask for! I’m crying as I type this now! This was 17 yrs ago!
We had a Female Rescued Doberman, her names was Mika. We had to let her go at age 7 from Bone Cancer. Mika was uncut and that played to her advantage. She was a " Poster Dog " for Dobermans. People were not afraid to ask if they could pet her, it was only when they asked what kind of dog she was did many people step back and away. My response to that was she is still the same lovely dog and she loves all people. I have an in home dog sitting business and I take mostly small breed dogs. I relied on Mika to help with the small dogs. Her intuition about which dog was insecure, which was well rounded , Teaching Proper Pack Behavior and which dog would not fit into the group. She loved to play and would puppy bow to pups and after they got over her size, playtime was on. Mika was not allowed to use her mouth on the small dogs, so she would use her head instead, which was at times as big as the pup she was playing with and she also would let the small dogs get up on the couch and she would lay beside it and play with the other dogs this way. Dobermans can be very vocal when they play and people who do not know the breed well thought she was being aggressive, She was one amazing, loving, caring and wonderful girl. I could go on forever about all the Light and Love she brought to the family., but once you get a Doberman your Heart is Stolen Forever.
One other thing Dobermans are known to be sorters. Mika , when we couldn't take her with us,
on several occasions, she would take all the shoes on the rack and line them up in a line, all facing the same way and all about 5 to 6 feet apart. The line would start in the hallway and go out the back door down the stairs across the patio and end in the middle of the yard. I have seen stories about other Dobies who can sort their toys into groups and color and all stuffed dogs cats bunnies etc. all facing the same direction. Lastly, if you introduce a ball, be prepared to play for a few hours and Do Not Think, putting the BALL in a draw ,you will be able to hide that Ball.......Their Noses are so Good they can find it anywhere you put it, Even In A Closet On The Top Shelf Wrapped In A Dryer Sheet........
Absolutely adored your story about your Doberman. I am 68 , have had dogs (we have 5, 4 of them seniors and 1 rescue Pitbull pup ) and horses so lots of training experience and I’m thinking a female Doberman should be on my bucket list after we say goodbye to our seniors. I have wanted one my entire life and am going to keep an eye out for a rescue.
Dead on accurate, I had both. I still miss them.
I wanted a male but ended up with a big beautiful red female. So glad I did, she fits me perfect. She is so careful with my 2 young kids, she is my two yr old daughter's best friend. She's not nearly as clumsy as I've seen other breeds. She fits your description to a "T"...although I couldn't imagine her being more clingy as you say the males are lol. She is the perfect dog. I love her so much!! She is a woman's dog, loves women and is more cautious with men. She is so smart, she can outsmart me if I'm not careful and she thinks about listening to me, before she actually does it most of the time, especially on recall! She is the best dog though and really glad I got a female now!
I'm so happy you found her Samantha! That's so great. Yes, it's amazing how smart these dogs are. You almost can't ever trick them it seems!
Samantha Halfacre So you would recommend this breed for a family dog? I am doing my research and and I’ve narrowed my search down to Doberman, Rottweiler or America man bulldog. I am leaning towards Dobbie. I have 3 kids ages between 4-10. Does she need a lot of physical and mental exercise? Is so Ok alone during the day?
I see that your dog is a feminist
Male dobermans are better my male dobermans is more cautious with women I feel like your a feminist my male dobermans attacked a woman before 🖕🖕🖕
@@BrandonClash have you got problems are something?
Just got my first Doberman a week ago, my boyfriend has had them his entire life and was so excited to have me experience this breed for the first time. He introduced me to Doberman Planet and I have been living on these videos. Great content, tips, and extremely informative for anyone with a Doberman or considering getting one.
Hows it going?
My son got a male to help his PTSD, but when he got his female..she was the one who doesn’t leave his side. Both are beautiful, hilarious and definitely different exactly like you described! Always had poodles, but I’m in love with my grand-dogs!
Hello 👋 how are you doing today ?
You....my friend....are a King among men!! I believe that you DO read every comment and that seems really respectful to your subscribers AND I APPRECIATE THAT. I said a prayer for you and your family during church this morning. I know you're still hurting from the loss of Cooper. Just know that people all over the country are holding you in their hearts. Keep doing what you do and we'll keep following you and wishing you well.
That means so much to me BJ Fox, thank you!!! I DO read every comment. I can't always respond to each one (I do try hard to though), but I certainly read each one. I feel like if someone takes the time out of their day to type it out, I feel like it's important enough that I should at least read it and really consider what they're saying. Anyway, thanks so much for the kind words, it means more than you know. My family is doing pretty well. We're about ready to start looking for our next Dobie (and co-host)!
This is a great video. I have lived with both male and female Dobermans and most of what you have outlined is 100% accurate. My female was like my personal protection dog that was very loving and aware of my feelings. My male was also very loving and playful but was more of a property protector than a person protection dog. Both passed away at 13 years of age but I will never forget the joy that they brought to my life.
I had a Doberman who just recently passed away she lived a good 18 years I grew up with that dog by far the best breed loyal and so so smart
18 years? Thats pretty cool if you ask me. I love them as well!
How blessed to have 18 yrs. We never had one that long.
I had a dobbie since my childhood, and yes she was female, home trained, everyone were scared of her, mostly our neighbors, she was very caring protective and loyal, even when I was child and I liked to make her angry but she would never hurt me or bite me, she could play with me all the time in our back yard, I would spend all day by her side, running and fooling around, by that time it was really hard for me to make friends with children my age, she was my only friend, she protected me from anyone even from my family :D she wouldn’t let them touch me and etc. only bad thing about this breed is that they die very early, when she was 7-8 years old she became very thin you could even count her bones and she couldn’t even walk by herself, we tried everything to save her life but after few months she died. We buried her in our backyard and I remember I would bring her flowers and her favorite toys everyday, she was our family member, and Yes so many years passed I stills miss her and I still love her so much
when my children were young, under 6, we had a female doberman. our kids were her kids, she was highly protective of them and she would not share her kids with other dogs. she would fight over that.
It sounds like she was a great protective nanny in a way!
@@DobermanPlanetPlanet she didn't want any other dogs mothering her kids. i think she was jealous.
charles diehl she also had a mother instinct which males don’t have so it was also protection
My high school girlfriend had 2 neighbors one with a full blooded Doberman male and one with a female full blooded rescued greyhound. She was gifted a female love child of the 2 and gave me Layla as a young pup for my 15th bday. She gave me 16 and a half yrs of happiness and was the best dog ive ever known yet alone had as my own. My little sister was 4 when we got her and would not let anyone even common family members near her unless i explicitly let her know it was ok. It was almost as my Layla could sense my protectiveness of my naby sister. She was with me all the time in the car/truck and slept with me either at the foot of my bed or cuddled right up to me depending on who else was in bed lol. I tell everyone i know Dobermans even when not full breed are phenomenal family dogs and to they’re primary owner are more in tune to your feelings than most humans at any given time. Now at age 35 i miss her every day and still cant bring myself to have another dog. Dobermans Rock!
@@aaronrender4867 you need another pup man. Not just for you, but for the pooch too
I had a male doberman. We got him at 10 weeks old and had him until the day he passed away at 10 years old. One of the worst days of my life that I will never get over. He was the best dog I ever had and I’ve had many.
Hello Melissa, how are you doing today ?
I had a male 25 years ago and he was huge, powerful, easy to train and the sweetest dog I’ve ever owned
Hello Martha how are you doing today ?
I bought a Doberman boy and I love him so much he’s my best friend he follows me everywhere I don’t get any alone time and whenever I’m sad makes me happy
My 100lb male is on my lap right this second demanding attention
Sure beats a hot water bottle, I really like when mine curls up on my feet so my feet are on his belly. Talk about warm!
Mine was the same!
I currently have two who think I’m their seat as well. They also will take over your spot in the bed as if your not even there. When you try to move them, they grunt like your the problem lol. They are hands down the best breed and I couldn’t live without them. They can have you so mad one minute, then laughing at how goofy they are then super proud of them the next. Then mad again lol.
@@michaellafollette7655 and isn't it amazing how they can suddenly double in weight when you need to move them over to make room for yourself in bed ...lol? (prev. owner of 120lbs. Rotti/dobie mix)
Aw, he sounds beautiful! Give him a cuddle of me please XD
I only have males and I finally got 1 female and shes the only brave one and she is a pomeranian 🧐
Most small dogs act tough due to what people call Napoleon Syndrome.
@@TiberiusStorm as a Maltese owner I can confirm this
@@TiberiusStorm My Maltipoo has gone after a Police dog in training and an old Rottweiler .lol
@@TiberiusStorm small dogs don't act like this because of the small dog syndrome/napoleon syndrome. That's a myth. Most small dogs are just super insecure which leaves them with two options: FIGHT OR FLIGHT
I can understand them. Being so small the world can be pretty scary so they act "tough" because other animals tend to attack/dominate unstable dogs.
Just sayin' 😅
My dog is a rescue and got treated bad in his previous life. He was always scared of people but he loved dogs. Since he got bit by a big dog he is scared of them. He never ever barks but since he got bit he barks at big dogs just to tell them they shouldn't come near him.
Carol Diehl my chihuahua did too, and didn’t like other dogs ( normal small dog behavior we should work on l but some reason she gets jealous of other dogs playing with a certain dog idk why
I just watched this video...I use to be a registered breeder for 10 yrs..love this breed...you could not have been more spot on with the characteristics between male and female...especially the stubbornness at a young age and while training...but both are very intelligent..nice job on the video
I'm late to the video upload date but real talk mad respect for being 100% forthcoming and honest on all information. With that being said your research is incredibly impressive and thank you for taking all that time and putting in such an easily and entertaining digestible format :)
So what you're saying is I need both female and male lol 😂
female all the way!
@@mendesarmy9216 yessir
Although I've a 6 year female, I would love a male! Yes, please lol
Have had four females over the years. It is a great breed, so loving and intelligent. My second female Doberman was 115 pounds of muscle. I only had her for five years she died from bone cancer, I still miss her.
I've had 5, each one a beautiful special unique gift...I miss each very much. Thankfully I have my Takaya! 🙂💜💞
Sorry. Ive have been through that alot and it never gets easier. They say a dog will break your heart one time. I agree.
I’ve had my Dobie for 6yrs from a pup and the playful and clumsy for the male is spot on. He’s another child in my home lol
Your videos do NOT disappoint. My mom was wanting one and these videos are so awesome in informing people
I grew up with my family Doberman, Xóchitl, who was female. She was so majestic and intelligent it was crazy when I would compare her to my friends’ dogs. She was so clean and gentle, I remember I she would be let out and chose to walk on the stones of our yard in order to not get her paws dirty. It’s very true that she would chose to do comands her own way. She was an amazing dog, I miss her so very much.
I have 4 females. My one female, Lacey, is obsessed with me she is always by my side. Always sitting right beside me when I sit down. If she goes outside she will always come back in the house to check on me and where I'm at. The other 3 are more independent and don't need to know where I'm at all the time. Love your commentary.
Thanks so much Janice! Glad you enjoyed it. And I'm so glad you posted your experience too since it sounds like you have a lot of experience with the females. Good insight, thank you!!!
Hello Janice how are you doing today ?
We now watch this channel more than Netflix 😂
Haha! I'm honored!
We have just secured our girl today! She will be home with us in 2 weeks! I have BINGED your channel and I cannot be more excited!
From my own personal experience this is a pretty accurate list. Like the video mentioned, every dog is different but overall this is very good. I have owned male and female Dobermans and have done Schutzhund work as well. I love the strength of the males but overall I prefer the females without any hesitation. The females definitely bond more with one person but they are protective of the entire family and home. I have to stop here or else this will take up a whole page. Dobermans are the best all around dog you can ever own. A lot of people forget that they are one of the smartest breeds in the world as well.
I personally own a malinois but these vids are so informative and high quality I still am here, nice job man. This is the most underrated channel I have seen in while.
Thanks so much! Really means a lot! Malinois are great dogs too. I'm happy to have a Malinois guy here!
Doberman Planet I am just a kid who got a male Malinois after researching for 8 months on dog training so I don’t fail him. Having a high energy comes with lot of questions and I really appreciate you answer all my annoying kid questions. Can’t wait till the next vid.
How old are you?

I am saving for my first personal dobie and watching three of your videos a day and taking tons and tons of notes, especially for training and supplies! Thank you for everything! So very helpful!
buying a male doberman today, thought i would do some research, your videos come up, you seem like you know what your talking about with a good demeanor, thanks for that....but, the comments from your viewers are amazing!!! how spot on you are, and to me thats all thats needed viewer supported and approved content..... so thanks to all of you...i am excited to start this journey....just subscribed with a bell
Very interesting! My female was just as you described females to be, but this one had an extra touch of elegance, held her head high and her walk was more like a prance. She was 90 pounds, large for a female, but not at all heavy, just tall and elegant. She reminded me of a black deer sometimes, lithe and graceful. I couldn't take her anywhere without people stopping to oooh and ah over how beautiful she was. I will miss her til my dying day. Now I have a male, 100 pounds (I seem to attract large dogs, his littermates were all in the 75 pound range) and he is just as you describe, with definite velcro tendencies as well. He likes to run off and explore when off leash, but at home follows me from room to room. Mellow personality, loves everyone, a real sweetheart. There is an unfortunate stigma attached to Dobies and many people fear them, which can be a burden for their owners, but that is just something you deal with. I have had people who were terrified of the look of my dogs fall madly in love with them once they got to know them. Thanks for such an informative video.
My daughter had a female Doberman. she had most of the personality traits that you described, with the exception she was very playful and continue to be very puppy until she was 3.
Love your thoroughness and clarity! Thank you.
I honestly love this channel. I came across a pure bred Dobie puppy at a pound near me and I nabbed him up quick without really understanding the breed. He was a pain as a puppy but has become such an amazing dog. This channel has shown me SO MUCH!!!
I just wanted to jump on here and say THANKYOU to you. I have been thinking about getting a Doberman for a while now and nearly every single question I have about them, I come on here to look and you have already made a video on it! Life saver! Thankyou, keep up the amazing work, I appreciate and love your videos very much!
Well, they sound like they're just like human beings.
Haha!
steve Pepke theyre closer to humans than other dogs due to their intelligence
@@-thebatman- - Believe me, I completely understand intelligent Dog breeds, I have a German Shepherd who's parents were imports from Germany. This Dog absolutely amazes me with his intelligence, Doberman Pinschers are also German bred and very intelligent.
I just got a big kick out of the way this video was laid out, I am definitely a German Shepherd lover but I could easily and may get a Doby one day to add to the family. I'm sure a Doberman puppy would adapt good with Shepherd's and vice versa.
steve Pepke yes Dobies love Shepard’s when mine was a puppy we took him to a Shepard training facility they loved him and he loved climbing on their faces 😂🤣
@@-thebatman- - Yeah, I figured as much. German Shepherd's and Dobermans seem like they're similar in a lot of ways. They are both very intelligent, loyal, they have just the right amount of tempered aggression when properly trained and they're both beautiful Dogs.
this channel has been helping me so much and helping me learn about dobies
I have kept dobermans for over 45 years, both males and females and I reckon that this is a really good summary of the differences between the sexes. Good job.
Yup u got it spot on! My female Doberman was just as you said, she only bonded with me and only protective over me and so easy to train as a puppy
So glad to hear that your experience matches up! It also sounds like you have a REALLY good dog there!
@@DobermanPlanet My female bonded with me. But, she is smart and knows to protect my Wife while I am at work or not home. Then when I get home she only wants me lol. 😁. I also have a pitbull male that helped me train her...Fast. you were spot on when it comes to training. The vet was so impressed how well behaved and smart she was at a young age.
i have a female, fawn doberman and she is the sweetest thing ever. dobermans are overall good dogs, they are stubborn, but if you start training at a young age they’ll be great dogs
Hello Elizabeth hope you’re having a great day today?
This is so worthwhile that explains a lot about my Doberman female versus male! Doberman planet is always a great video to watch! I thank you for putting things like this together
MAN you are so honest and helpful. I really apreciate every one of your videos.
Another great video! In my opinion as a veteran female Dobe owner, you were pretty spot on. You’re certainly right about every dog being an individual personality though, they’re all characters in their own way!
Thanks so much! Yeah, that's one thing I really love about the breed. How much of an individual they are!
Jesus man, this was spot on. Old broad here! Had Or been around Dobies for over 60 years. Both sexes. Spot on. Had both sexes. This is fabulous information
Thank you so much Teresa! Glad you enjoyed it!
Hello Teresa how are you doing today ?
Loved this!!! I’m in the process of getting a Doberman and this video was extremely helpful. Thanks
Thank you so much for making these videos ❤️
I was so excited to see this video! We just had a discussion in our Doberman group about this same topic and received similar responses. I myself have one of each and I can positively say your right on point with this. Of course like you said, each Doberman is an individual and can break the mold so to speak. Good job giving out correct information about this amazing breed!👍
Thanks so much! I'm so happy to see you again Juslooking! Yeah, I actually really love how each dog can be such an individual. It makes the breed so interesting and fun to own.
Yes very accurate general sum up. My dad had a female Dobey when i was little. Later on i had a male when i was a teenager. This male Dobey was my best ever, all the traits that is mentioned here. I had to use a bicycle for daily runs bcos Dobeys gallop fast like horses!!! 3-4 decades hav passed and i still miss my Dobey. May i meet him again, somday, afterlife?? For me, Dobeys are the best dogs, they learn fast & are so atheletic!!!
We've had 2 females and 2 males. Our first female died from DCM at 7 and the second one died of cancer at 8. Both boys lived to be 13. Our females were so intuitive and listened and understood. They barely needed any training at all. We put a leash on them from day one they never pulled they had that show dog trot. They never went through an open door or gate unless we said okay. My 2 males? Not so easy LOL I loved them all equally. The last one we laid to rest a year ago and he was a rescue, we got him as an adult and he was amazing and more loving than the 3 we brought home as puppies from breeders. He was a bit more naughty, but in a good fun way.
I just wanted to say thank you for all the advice you gave me about my doberman. I decided to go with a female and it was the best decision I don't regret it
Beautifully accurate! I'm a Dobie fancier of about 30 years now. My males were more velcro goofy and my females were more independent and keen. Jack took 2 years to train firmly but Libby took only a year. Well done and well said.
I have owned a few Dobes...and have trained numerous Dobes, Sheps, etc...I will say the male and female are both great, but the sweetest dog I ever had was a male. Also, many males have what is known as male aggression. Not all of them but some. That is an issue you need to think about since Dobermans can be explosive and very powerful. Both make good guard dogs, but once they mature, males will become more intense than the females who stay steady once they mature. Younger males are harder to keep to task than females, but when older that energy is what makes the male a master at personal protection (IMO the male Doberman and male B. Malinois are tops). Males are somewhat stronger than the females too, but both a very strong. That hyperactive nature for young males is actually what makes the male Dobe like a coiled spring when older. This was intentional and part of the reason Otto Grueller (Dobermann's protoge) insisted on refining the breed with the black Greyhound. Both are great, and I have seen both do outstanding guard dog work and bond with kids. Both male and female.
I definitely agree with what you said about both being great, hard to go wrong with this breed in my opinion when picking out a male or female. Also, GREAT insight from your experience. Thank you so much for sharing that here so others can benefit from it!!!
Stuart H If you’re up for getting both I say a definite yes lol. My family has 1 of each & they are the most gentle, loving, protective & Loyal dog you’ll ever come across. My boy is three and we’ve Had him since he was 4 weeks old, actually had to bottle feed him, as He was not weaned yet. And we got our beautiful female when she was five weeks old. I helped take care of them both but I essentially raised Gunner so he’s incredibly attached to me & is extremely clingy but he’s a good dog. Daisy girl is definitely the alpha of the pack & she’s extremely sweet, calm & very attentive to your needs. With her we’re extremely lucky that we got to her when we did, another 24 hrs & the vet told us she wouldn’t have made it; She got extremely sick and dehydrated she was full of parasites and worms. My mom I stayed up all night with her it was so awful; she was so small & skinny at the time that I was actually able to hold her and put inside my sweater that I was wearing & zip it up all the way. All she did all night was scream in pain But it was worth it because she’s an amazing dog and a nanny to my two yr old sis, puts up with all the things that toddlers do. I’m so blessed to have both of them in my life and never a doll moment with them around that’s for sure I believe that what happened to Daisy as a pup shaped her personality & made her the dog she is today. Also if u don’t mind me saying I would get a male & female because in mine & my family’s experience we had another female dove At the same time we had daisy and all they did was fight. Apparently it’s not uncommon among some breedsfor two dogs of the same gender to fight, it’s common with dobies at least; we ended up giving the other female away. But you’ll be getting a protector and best friend for the rest of your life , I can assure you of that.😊
Whats male aggression aimed at?
You rock! I have only watched 2 of your videos... so far but I have learned a plethora of knowledge. Thank you!
Thank you!!!!!!! Surprising so many differences
When I was like 1-5 my family had a Male Doberman, and boy he was amazing. I don't remember to much about him, but my parents would talk about how he would always be around me, and followed me like I was his person. He never got pushy with me, and when my dad would come home me and him would run to the window and he didn't mind me shoving him out of the way to see my dad.
- I miss you Rufus
Wow this was super informative! I was already planning on getting a female Doberman puppy, but turns out I think that that was exactly what I wanted anyway after watching this video!
I’m a young teen and Desmo is my first doberman. Me and my dad drove 13 hours to Colorado to adopt him at 3 1/2 months old. It was a long hot drive but so worth it! We wanted to get a female but we ended up with a male. I’m so glad we did, he’s the sweetest and silliest little guy ever. He also has a black mask and I love how it distinguishes him from other Dobies. He’s a year and a half now, he has some health issues but is getting through them! I love him with all my heart
Very interesting information, and well structured. Thank you so much!
Hello 👋 how are you doing ?
Just like humans, the "females" mature before the "males"...lol
Not really but kinda
Biologically yes, females mature before males. That's just basic nature.
It is testosterone and energy, not really maturity with the dogs per se. Males need this difference to find females....
@@itravelforfood5518 It’s both. Females biologically mature faster, that’s just science, but environmental factors also exist like you mention.
The female view is bang on. Omg! Our female does all those traits and it's no joke when the female Doberman will be more cautious around strangers. Shell literally bark like crazy until being told it's fine. If we're upset, shell sit by you or follow you around, and yes. She's more attached to a particular person in the family along with many other traits mentioned.
Picking up our new Dobie pup in 4 weeks, a little girl, she will be our third Doberman, our first black and rust, our debate is crop or no crop. Our first two ( both now passed on) were cropped. Loved them both beyond words.
my dobi ( male ) was just a little over 4 years, then got DCM . Broke my heart, he was such a great buddy
Spot on description of my male Dobie that passed at age 12 to DCM except he was a bit suspicious of strangers and then, once he approved, he was very loving and playful. He also liked me better, haha. He intently listened and responded to me more than my husband. Amazing dog, amazing breed.❤
When I was a baby, my grandmother had a male dobie and when we went on walks, they would put me on his back and I would ride him as a horse and people would just freak, well if those people knew that the dobie protected me every time that I came to visit, he didn't like nobody around me when he was with me
awe
My brother's friend is staying with us for awhile he has a female Doberman and I already fell in love with her she's playful she gets along with the 2 dogs we already have and she doesn't bark or act crazy she's always kick back and did I mention how beautiful this breed is omg .
I really appreciate your content!❤️
I have a girl, she's so smart, lovely and protective.
American or European please reply🙏
@@sarswatimaa8868 she is american.
@@DelaSamVlogs thanks ma'am! 🙏
i still can’t choose! i should prolly just get both lmao!
i’ve had such great experiences with both! i tend to prefer male dogs but my first dobie was female. i loved her dearly.
Haha, I am the same way. I love the idea of getting both! A male and a female definitely do get along pretty well together! Especially if raised together.
Danni Velasco I have had one of each. My preference is male just because I do like how goofy and fun he is. Our female was much more suspicious of people.
Suzanne The Patriot , i feel. when i was looking for one for some reason the males were more expensive, i’m used to females being expensive because they’re the ones that have the babies. even though they’re always on a spay/neuter contract. i still love the boys, n one day i will have that much money
@@foxxiangel6384 Hi...how much are they as puppies?
Fantastic content i'v had 2 in my lifetime and now my girlfriend really is looking into the Doberman i cant be more excited. more to come but your info is helping us with our decision !
Your Doberman videos are fantastic and right on the money! Thank you.
I had a boy and a girl and your analysis was spot on!
I would absolutely do a combination of each list, for my female Doberwoman. :) My female is the size of a male. I told the breeder I’d like a female and he sent me photos of both to show me that the females are going to be big. She weighs 90 lbs. Very tall - She is sleek and gorgeous. When walking in public, she attracts crowds! She is handsome, she is so beautiful, so I have a PINK martingale on her so people know she’s a female. People just die when they ask and I have to tell them, Yes, we had her fixed. Even the professional training place we went to asked if we were going to breed her. She is brilliant and this is why I am commenting for fun: She is unbelievably feminine! She is a girly dog! We have always had multiple dogs on our ranch. Several breeds and mixes. We have males mostly, but always have a female in the crowd. I wouldn’t describe any of the females in my experience as “feminine”. Phoebe is clearly feminine and we first noticed when she fell in love with our Bull Mastiff, Rufus, on sight of him. I have pictures of her leaning into his arms (front legs) as he lay on the grass and she just looking up at him adoringly! When our Great Pyrenees gets kind of tired of her, he will get grumpy and growly and she just does a high-pitched cry and whine! She’ll fall and roll on her back in front of him while doing so! We just stand shocked at this real male/female dog interaction. She is very dependent and a velcro dog for sure. She has to be with me. On top of me. Touching me. Her foot on my foot. Leaning on me. She wants ME. I am her person. She would rather be with me than another dog. You have to know this before you get a dobie. You can’t leave a dobie all day. I work from home. I workout in a home gym. I knew that until I could base myself at home, we couldn’t get a dobie. Please be aware of how people - oriented they are. Their people. You don’t throw a dobie in a backyard and leave them. (Or any animal right?) They are just too smart and aware. You put a dobie on an obstacle course! They love to run and have as much or more endurance than any dog you’ll ever own. After 5 miles of powerwalking, a dobie is going to look at you like, that’s all? Really? We play two-fisted frisbee, two-fisted anything - ready to throw when she comes back because SHE has more energy than you can imagine. And finally, when you are prepared for this relationship know that you will never be loved, like you’ll be loved by a Doberman Pinscher. I say this as someone who has had all breeds - small and large - for many years and a grandfather who was a veterinarian. ❤️
Thank for everything your so entertaining and watch u every day😁👏😁
Super helpful & educational
Planning to have a pup end of May and these videos have been encouraging and incredibly well done
At Some Point, I Forgot We Were Talking About Dobermans...
Had the most amazing male, he took his CD at 18 months, my female never took to excelling in obidence...loved them both intensely and miss them horribly
I've been thinking of getting a Doberman for some time now, as I think it would be a right fit for me. This info is gold. Thanks.
Great thoughts and info.
My 11.5 year old female Doberman is perfect! Everything he said is so true and applies to her 100%!!! “Cleaner overall” hahaha my girl will walk around a puddle.
I used to have 3 Dobermans. 1 male and 2 females. Our females were truly great dogs and they loved our children so much and protected them also when need be. Our male actually ended up attacking our late son and almost killed him and the only reason he wasn’t able to reach his neck was because my female attacked him which gave enough time for my son to crawl away. Our Vet put him down because we knew he could never be trusted again but he said something had changed in his eyes, it was like he snapped and none of us could figure out how or why he did what he did. I love dobies but will never recommend any family having one with any small children. Our son was only 8 when our male attacked him and it still to this day makes zero sense. We had been playing catch outside with him for an hour or so and my home phone rang so I told my son I’d be right back, next thing I hear is him screaming and as I made it to my back door my baby boy was crawling covered in blood. Zeus bit his chest and his head open and luckily when he was trying to go for our sons throat my Sasha attacked Zeus and saved our sons life. Zeus was 2 1/2 years old and had been with us since 6weeks of age. Please be thoughtful when making a decision to get a breed like this, they are big and can cause damage fast. It doesn’t mean they will, but it does and can happen. Luckily our females never did anything like this.
Thanks for sharing. Sorry to hear that. Definitely something happened when you left that room. Thanks again
Thank you for this video
I’m currently looking for my first Doberman. I’m super excited.
