When, Where and How I Got My Doberman Pinscher
I got Dozer in December of 2009. He was 3 months old and just the cutest puppy. I got him from a wonderful breeder in Wisconsin.
I'd Describe My Dog As…
The apple of my eye. He is smart, a challenge. He was easily house trained and has learned very quickly his commands. He is protective of his property but is not vicious, just has a loud bark and warning growl. Thus far as a puppy, he has had no medical issues.
Advice
- Dobermans are not a dog for the first time dog owner or someone who does not have a lot of time to spend with them. They can be good with small children, they just need the exposure. We have no children at home but have been exposing him to the neighborhood children regularly. After he gets over his initial skepticism, he loves everyone, other dogs included.
