Years ago Louis Doberman gave us the delightful Doberman
puppies.
This dog breed does extremely well in
obedience classes. They are not only intelligent, but they are loyal and affectionate and make wonderful family pets. They are of medium height and built, with sleek short coats. They come in colors of black, red, blue or fawn and all of these have rust markings. Dobermans are adorable dogs and you will fall in
love at the sight of them.
Doberman puppies grow from 26 to 28 inches in height and males weigh about 75 lbs. while the female is about 65 lbs. When they are small, they can have their ears cropped and their tails docked to give them the appearance of what we know to be the Doberman of today. You will find that they need lots of exercise and you have to be ready for that daily walk. If you leave them alone, they become bored and can cause a little trouble due to this lack of exercise. They are people dogs, they love being around those they love and they do not do well when left alone for long periods of time.
When you go shopping for Doberman puppies, don't take the first one you see. You should always talk to a lot of different breeders and find out as much information as you can about this
breed of dog, the breeder, and the parents of the puppy. {mosimage}You should ask the breeder about his/her dog breeding programs such as what temperament they are looking to find or if they are breeding for show dogs. When you visit breeders always take notice of the place the owner breeds the dogs - for example, if it is clean and tidy. This will give you some idea of what the breeder is like. You may also ask for any health records not only of the puppies, but also for the parents.
Doberman puppies should not be removed from the mother before they are seven weeks of age. Some breeders keep the puppies until they have their ears cropped and the stitches are removed, which will be ten to twelve weeks of age or some breeders will sell Doberman puppies without their ears done. The choice can be yours. A good breeder will also have many questions for
you and you should welcome this. It shows they care about whom they are placing their puppies with and what kind of home he will have.
The next best thing you can do for your new puppy is to enroll it in obedience training. This will make your life and puppy's so much better that you will be able to enjoy each other for many years to come. This is where you will see the best of Doberman Puppies - when they are trained to be all they can be.
