Are you and the Doberman a match?
Living with a Doberman can be challenging. You cannot ignore a Doberman! They are in your face, on your lap, they are a 'helping you out' kinda dog, yet do not seem to intrude your personal space.
They must be a companion and protector in the home with the family...the Doberman is not for outside living. A Doberman is a working dog, who is alert and ready at all times to take care of their ‘family and environment’ with tremendous adaptability to almost all situations.
BEFORE you make a commitment to a Doberman, do your homework! Study the breed - read everything available on Dobermans. Talk to reputable breeders. Go to CKC dog shows to establish contacts so you can spend some time around Dobermans to observe how they act and react.
Visit the CKC online to assist you in determining what a "reputable breeder" is and the Doberman Pinscher Club of Canada for a list of Doberman Pinscher breeders.
