My Doberman

I thought I would share some pics of my Doberman... seen some folks around the forum mention the breed...
3yr old bitch. She's no bulldog but she's pretty good to keep around. Keeps folks out from the back yard. She's good on the chain or in the house which is something because I NEVER would have thought I'd have a 76lb housedog! Not crazy drive but she can go for a very long time without stopping in the gulf coast summer heat. She is a pleasure to work and fun as hell to hunt with... loves nothin more than tearin up a small fuzzy animal from moles and mice to possums. She will kill em on the ground, dig em up, or tree em like a damn hound. All around not a bad dog.






for shits n giggles this is her on the low springpole at 4 months

 

i was actually going to get a doberman before i bought my dog. i ended up not getting one because the breeder only had red ones. if i was going to get a doberman i wanted a black one. nice dog you have there.

i was going to import mine from a europe from a working kennel. any reason why your didnt clip the ears? i like my bulldogs with ears, but i like the look of the clipped ears on the dobermans.

 

I just don't like the real long crops that you see on Dobermans. I don't know if I'll get my next ones ears done or not but if I do they will be a shorter crop like you see on a pit bull.

I don't plan to get another one until this girl gets old but theres some good breeders in the US using Euro stock that are world class. In fact a couple of them have bred dogs that are on police forces which is saying something big because you dont see many Dobermans that are good enough for police work anymore. I would probably go to them before importing just to reduce cost and also because theres no language barriers. Tend to have less health problems too because a lot of the breeders here do heart tests and blood tests for vWD.

 

nice lookin dog cliff.

 

I had one years ago. The damn best squirell dog I EVER! had. She was good as catching mice too.

I had her ears done short, not that long show crop stuff. She was a one person dog and was hell fire on someone trying to come in the house, the yard or the truck with me not around.

I used to get a kick out of leaving her in the truck and someone walking next to it.

Yours is a good looking dog!

 

Good looking animal Cliffdog, always admired the Doberman for their loyalty and tenacity but would never own one personally. Nice pictures of her, thanks for sharing

 

She's a beauty and I like the uncropped ears

 

cliff i am loving the pictures with your new camera, especially the one of bonnie in the car.

 

Nice looking dog. I never owned one but but every one I've known that had one loved them

 

thanks folks. bamboo33, i think the uncropped ears look pretty good myself, but i don't have a preference. hasn't affected how she hunts or guards so the floppy ears can stay.

BB, now if only i could afford a decent lens. lol

 

what does she hunt cliff ?
i like a nice dobe,,, elegance with teeth . lol

 

mostly squirrels and possums because that we can do in the backyard, she'll tree em and i'll knock 'em down with a pellet gun and she'll finish them off. she's treed coons before but i didn't knock them down for her, worried about rabies. but she's also good for mice around the barn, moles, armadillos. feral cats. if it comes into the yard or we cross it in the woods there's a pretty good chance she'll kill it.

 

i like to see dogs such as dobermans in pairs...

 

i was looking at that option. i will have to research more into it, but am not looking for one at this time. it is a dog i would not mind owning though in the future. good info

 

thats a good looking dog Cliff... i have a soft spot for Dobermans :o

 

My favorite picture of the bitch I had...

 

Always been a fan on the Doberman. Wont lie the breed makes a lil nervous. Hard to read for someone that doesnt have experience with them. Brother had two when I was a young. One Blue and one black. IS that blue right? We are talking the 80's so memory may be off. Is there a Blue Doberman. Swear that was what she was. Forgot all about him having her till now.

Recently stayed at a friends who keeps two dobermans. Male and Female. The Male really took a liking to me. Noble dogs for sure.

 

Nice... That lean body type always reminds me of a Malinois. My Dobe gets along pretty well with a Malinois we know and they are very similar.

Yeah, blue. Sometimes a Doberman will get real attached to someone for no real reason, theyre good judges of character I guess.

 

If you get a good one, they're a tough dog to outdo... obviously I am a big fan of them lol

 

The bitch I had would check you out. You could pet her while she was checking you out. After she did that... she would have nothing to do with you.. If I was home you could walk right in but if I was not home she would not let you in.

I could take her to my buddies and she would lay on his wifes lap for hours, all I had to do was say here and she would not think twice about her.

I loved how that dog put me above everyone.
