Doberman Health Issues: My Dog Died from Hepatitis (CAH) of the Liver
Vložit
- čas přidán 30. 06. 2019
- I recently lost my Doberman to Chronic Active Hepatitis (or CAH) caused by Copper Storage Disease in his liver. This is a very serious genetic health problem that disproportionately affects the Doberman Pinscher breed. In this video, I open up about how this horrible disease progressed in my dog and eventually took his life. I'll also go over what signs you should look for in your dog, and why we ultimately made the gut-wrenching decision to put him down at the young age of 6 years old.
Cooper was my best friend, family protector, and co-host here at Doberman Planet. He will be missed more than I can possibly describe.
This revelation may change things here at Doberman Planet a bit, but I promise you that this isn't the end. I love this breed too much to just walk away. When I start making big changes at Doberman Planet, you'll be the first to know if you sign up for my e-mail list at (no junk mail, I promise):

John!!! Condolences for Cooper and your family. Rest in Peace, Cooper, but we all know as an active Dobe he is running and playing like crazy wherever he is! You are an inspiration to all Doberman owners Planet wide! To me and our family, your videos have meant so much. My son, at 17 years old, spent hundreds of dollars on a fawn Doberman puppy and brings him home one day out of the blue. We have never owned a dog before. Your channel and others like it saved our lives! We love Louie. He is a part of the family. I know it is hard, but this channel needs to keep pumping out videos and tips catered to Dobermans. We are constanly using all of your links and watching videos. And, the key is the kind, precise, caring and genuine way you yourself present the material. You are not an elitist owner, we can relate to you!!! I know it takes time to wait when in mourning but when you are ready, remember you have a gift for helping Dobermans and families. And, a new Doberman puppy would give you a lot of material to continue to help us out here. Your mission in life, eh?
Man... your comment made my day. I just made my wife read what you wrote. I can't thank you enough for those kind thoughts you took the time to write out (and the motivation you gave me to keep working hard). It means so much. I'm so glad you guys are getting something out of the videos. I'm so happy for your family, which now includes Louie! I'll work hard not to let you down! Please don't be a stranger on my channel!
@@DobermanPlanet Thanks, we live out in Utah and plan on taking Louis on some good backpacking trips next summer, especially with your help and tips. Yes, those of us who are clueless at first, your channel is a lifeline. Here is another reason why: people spend a lot of money trying things out for Dobies because they go through a LOT of stuff! Your chew bones for the crate and leashes have been spot on! They are a custom breed with custom needs, and of course your delivery is very kind and good. And, I bought the Shadow Eyes book, good read! I would like to see a war movie about Cappy (he has a memorial statue in Guam) and the other Doberman heroes from WWII. If they made it like Hacksaw Ridge, Saving Private Ryan or Band of Brothers, NOT A DRY EYE IN THEATRE. It could do a lot for the Doberman breed and show them as the loyal, Marine, Semper Fi, heroes they are! Anyway, keep plugging away! Thanks!
@@bc7319 So glad to hear it! Thanks so much for the feedback and suggestion! Much appreciated! I love hearing ideas I haven't thought of before!
You can take a break sir, losing family member is really hard
Rip Bud👼
Don’t know how I missed this, none the less My condolences. Been here and feel your loss. Run free Cooper.
Thanks so much Robert, I really appreciate it.
Hi man Im so sorry for your lost. I just lost my male European Dobbie , Dillinger last week due to liver cancer. He was my buddy for 9.5 yrs. It very hard to not see him around the house any more. We did everything together ; fishing, running, walking, bicycling... It happend so fast, he left us 4 weeks after we found out about his condition. He was fine and running 2 miles everyday with me 2 months ago. Our guardian angel had left to see the god!
Thank you so much. I'm so sorry for YOUR loss! That's horrible. These dogs really do become just another member of the family. You and Dillinger will be in my prayers. He's up there playing with my boy Cooper right now!
So sad bruh, it's like losing a kid
I’m so sorry for your loss. Thank you for the details, this is extremely useful for owners in the future.
Thank you so much. I really hope so!
I had previously watched this video and I thought how terrible it must be to go through this. Well now it’s my turn. My dobie has cirrhosis of the liver and I am destroyed emotionally. Like you said they are such a big presence in your life. They are so close to their people, they literally do everything with you. Just thinking about her not being in our lives anymore is devastating. Thanks for sharing your personal story about your Cooper. I hope my Ryder lasts a bit more and gets through One more Christmas with us 😞
I’m so sorry for your loss John, I lost both of my Dobbies a year ago. Drey a Brown / Tan boy nearly 10, & Missy a Black / Tan girl 10. The boy had strokes, and got worse over time and the the girl went 6 weeks later, she just gave up with her body, due to pining for Drey. I struggled with there loss, so I know mate. Copper will always be with you, always, never forget that. He had a great Dad & lovely family who loved him and cared for him. I have put a picture of my two Dobbies on my profile for you, in Coppers memory. Al. 👼
Thank you so much Al! I love your Dobies. They're off playing together right now I'm sure of it. Maybe with my Cooper too. It's tough, it really is like losing a part of your family.
You poor thing. Cannot imagine losing not only one, but two at the same time. So sorry for your loss 😥
I am so sorry. I know how lost you feel. These Dobie's make such an impact on our lives and souls. My first Dobie, Duke, lived for 17 1/2 years. He had 3 surgeries for socks. Yes 17. My second, Benedict, had 2 bad kidneys at birth as well as diabetes regarding the kidneys. He lived a great life for 2 years and 4 months. My 3rd, Sly, lived for 10 years, tumor in lungs. I have 3 other dogs I love completely. But I am missing the Dobie life. My heart goes out to you. Much love and prayers to you and your family.
John I’m so sorry for your loss of beautiful Cooper. They leave a huge hole in our hearts. From the 4 videos I just watched of you and Cooper you can see all the love you have for each other. Hope all your wonderful memories you have help ease the pain a little for you and your family. Cooper is running free with 7 of my boys and all the other Dobermans. ❤️🐾🌈🐾🙏🏻. I actually just found your videos tonight. The first one caught my eye “American vs Euro” . I posted a comment under that video telling you about my 7 Dober boys. I just lost my last one in June from cancer. You have great information about the breed. Over my last 40 years having them I am still learning something new about them. I didn’t think I could ever have another but as you well know they are so awesome, unique, loving, loyal. I’m 65 years old and lost my husband 4 years ago from cancer. Now that I live alone I do want another. Just started looking a couple weeks ago trying to decide which one I want. I know it takes time to even consider getting another. There was 10 years after my 4th which was 12 years old until my family decided we were ready for another. Ended up getting 2 male litter mates a red and a black. I will continue watching all your videos and maybe someday you will have another co-host. You can’t ever replace Cooper but hopefully you will love another one day. Again, I’m very sorry for you and your family. Thanks, Debra
Debra, that was such a nice message to read. Thank you so much for spending the time to send those thoughts my way. I won't lie, it's been tough without Cooper. I still walk in the house and expect to see him running up to me but it's just dead quiet. I think my family has had enough time to get through the worst of it though, so we've started our search recently for our next Dobie. I agree, it seems like you can never learn everything about this breed. As obsessed as I am with this breed and even though I study them for hours a day, I still learn something new just about every single day- it's crazy. Anyway, I hope you do decide to get another Doberman. You sound like a loving person and there's a Doberman out there who needs that love... and will give it back 10x! Take care, Debra!
You’ve made the right decision by not letting him live in suffering. Thank you for sharing this.
John, my heart goes out to you and your family. Dobermans are our 4-legged children and it is so hard when they leave us for the Rainbow Bridge. But, even after losing Cooper, you are just as dedicated to your Doberman passion and continue with edutainment videos for all of us and that is truly commendable. Thank you!
So sorry for Cooper's loss. It's one of the hardest things to experience to lose a beloved family member. My very first Doberman, Abby, died from hepatitis 26 years ago. She was only 3. She was my baby. Slept by my side every night. I've raised 4 Dobermans and lost my last one 2 years ago. I would so love to have another one but living on a retirement income now I haven't found one I can afford. Through the years I've had other breeds, but none compared to the intelligence and loyalty of the Doberman breed. For those who have one currently, cherish every day you have with them. They truly are so very special!
I'm so sorry about your baby, Cooper.💔😥
Ty for helping others!!
My 3.5yr old male Doberman "Adonis" has this. I just found out a month ago. Any advice is appreciated from anyone who's been through this. 🙏
My heart is breaking , reading this, knowing the pain you are feeling brings back tears for you . I had a similar loss of my giant schnauzer , it's like losing your son, your best friend! God Bless you in your grief, I believe dogs go to heaven, they are our 4 leged children.
It's been 5 years since my giant died , I have been an avid reader of your info and I really want a doberman but I fear the health issues . My heart hurts for you, God Bless!.
John, I hold you and your family in my prayers regarding the loss of Cooper. I feel your pain from losing a beloved family member.
Thank you so much! Really means a lot.
My Hart goes out to you my friend. I lost my paterdale of 15 years. And it was the hardest thing i have ever done to put her down. My Hart was broken until i got jasper 8 months ago. I still call him cinder sometimes and have to smile to my self. You never forget them. Get another dog and keep his memory a live.
I'm so very sorry for your loss
I can’t imagine what it feels like to lose your Doberman. My Dallas feels like he’s kid so I’m not going to do so well if something happens to him .. very sorry for your loss . You got me in tears now ..
Yeah it's rough. Thank you. We're still getting used to a house without him in it. It's weird feeling.
Doberman Planet I’ve had my Dallas since he was 8 weeks old he’s 4 now.. the Doberman never leaves your side and in my opinion is a dog above all others. I never thought I would bond so much with this animal but that’s what makes having a Doberman such a special experience but it also makes the sting of losing them that much harder.. god bless you and your family and cooper
I am sorry to hear this. my Nico passed from Copper Toxicity of the liver at 3 years of age.Broke my heart. He was the best.
Feel terrible about your loss. RIP Cooper. I lost my friend, son, companion and personal velcro recently......a working line GSD.....my boy, Lordie. He had developed an Abscess, which was mis-diagnosed as a hematoma......long story short, it developed into septicaemia, leading to organ failure and death. Diagnosed properly, it would have been an easy fix, and he'd have recovered quickly. It had been a really rough few weeks after his passing, and I can certainly empathize with what you're going through. Take care.
I'm so sorry! Prayers for you and Lordie! It's so hard to lose a family member. Especially when it's unexpected like that. You may have saw Cooper in the previous weeks videos that were filmed literally a week or two before he died. He looked so good! Happened very suddenly for us too. Anyway I'll be thinking about Lordie!
I was watching your videos because I am thinking of getting a dobie for myself and now he's gone. I am so sorry for your loss. Rest well Copper you've been a good boy 😭
Thanks John. I'm still planning more videos. I doubt I'll get one out this week (my family just needed a week of my full focus) but after that, I'll keep making more. I want to keep helping people out with this breed. I just won't have my co-host anymore :-(
I am so very sorry for your loss. They take a piece of our soul with them when they go❤️
I am so sorry abt Cooper. Sending you and your family hugs
Hi John, sympathies to you and your family. I know this video has already been 3yrs but I believe it is very very heartbreaking to loose a family member like Cooper. It took me 10yrs to get another dog after my bull mastiff died. And now I watch your video because I have a 4mo. old isabella-dobe. Thanks for the tips about doberman, help me and my wife alot.
we will keep u in prayers
I am so sorry for your loss and happy you found Arlo and can remember Cooper with happy memories. Everything happens for a reason, and I stumbled across your channel right when I lost my Doberman. Dexter was my 3rd Doberman and he passed from Liver Failure. I knew about DCM, and my last breeder could confirm there was none in the lineage, but I wasn't aware about the prevalence of Liver Disease. For now, I'm enjoying Dobermans through your channel as it's still too soon to even think about moving on. Sending good wishes your way and that you and Arlo will enjoy many years together.
Sorry to hear about Cooper.
John, I'm sure this is a rough video to come back to, even over a year later. But I didn't find your channel until recently, just after losing my 7 yr old red doberboy to Hepatitis with copper retention plus leukemia on 9.11.20. My previously passed dobes had much longer lives. When I saw the title of this one and learned the Hep also got Cooper and so young, my heart broke for you. Our Boyd was also a more laid back, loved people, would go anywhere and do anything for you type. I have another older female dobe, and two other dogs as well, but Boyd was my shadow. The other dogs sure helped us with coping.
Very shortly after losing Boyd, a 10 month old doberboy with zero training and a very high energy came into a good rescue near us, and we welcomed him into the family on 9.20. It was as if Boyd knew I needed another dog attached to my hip, copilot on my adventures, passenger in the car, and blanket across me at night. These are not things the other dogs we have enjoy much, but the new guy Kobi sure does. He's also a total challenge and needs lots of attention, but hey, hard to be sad when you're worn out right? We're starting week four, beginning group obedience at the end of this month, and while I'm still in tears just reminiscing here, the heart sure makes room for another dobe. Kobi is my 5th dobe in my life, and my husband's 10th. Hope your Arlo is just as heaven sent, and brings you and your family many long years of joy and love. I sure am enjoying watching him grow up. Thanks for sharing both your lovely boys with the world.
Im so sorry for your loss. I loss my two Doberman this year. I missed them so much. :(
Thank you so much... I'm so sorry to hear about your Dobies. They really are like family.
Sorry to hear about Cooper. I had seen your previous video when he ate the socks and was going to relate a story of my American female eating the knot off an old toy from her puppy age which got lost in the snow and she found it the next spring and had to have it surgically removed. Again, I'm very sorry.
This was truly a heartbreaking story and I know I'm late to this video, but I still wanted to offer my sincerest condolences. I lost my dog two days after Thanksgiving last year, and it was the single most devastating loss I've ever suffered (and I've lost multiple family members as well). RIP, Cooper... and blessings to you and your family.
Omgoodness, to lose a dog at 6....way too young. I'm so sorry. I lost my first boxer at 10.5 yrs and I lost my second a few months after her 9th birthday (well we think, we rescued her so not 100% on age). I only had her for 4 yrs, and it felt way too soon. And we saw her suffer (cancer) and knew we had to make the decision too. She's up there with Cooper now :)
RIP Cooper sorry for your loss
We lost out European Doberman Dutch just the other day. Be grateful you got some time to say goodbye. Our boy had cancer and we didn’t find out until 5 minutes before we had to put him down. He had a small bump removed off his paw and before we could even get the biopsy back it was cancer and already in his lungs and liver. He was in distress over night. Never in the world would I imagine this could happen so fast and to my dog!!! First sign was no interest in food. TOUGHEST LOSS OF MY LIFE. HE WAS MORE LOYAL THEN MOST HUMANS. Thank you for all the Doberman info. And I’m glad I found your channel.
Condolences, I believe animals have souls, too. Just as we say, "they're in a better place", concerning humans. I say the same concerning "Cooper". Grace, strength and peace, to your family 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you so much. I hope to spend time with him again someday.
@@DobermanPlanet I have no doubt he will be yours again someday.
Gate Keeper indeed our beloved animals do live on
Aaaw soooo sorry to hear, I feel your pain! So heart breaking! Cooper was beautiful! My boy pasted away with a tumor that grew in his stomach, was attached to his spine. You gave him a great life. RIP beautiful Cooper. :(
Oh no!!! I'm so sorry to learn of Cooper's passing. Thank you for sharing this information. Rest in peace Cooper. Blessings and positive energy to you and your family.
You're right the Doberman is the only dog for me they're amazing we are there humans and they are equally amazed with us it will take me some time also I share you and your families hurt they're the type of pet you can talk about all day all night the memories are endless thanks for all of your help and health tips you definitely have a gift and heart for what you have shared with the world❤
I understand your pain and I know you are still hurting it's like losing a family member. I knew he had passed I didn't know why until I seen this. He is now a King on that rainbow bridge
Omg I am so sorry about your family member. I now own a Doberman because of your videos. You are a Tru inspiration.
Thank you so much. That means a lot. Congrats on your new family member that's amazing!
I'm so sorry for your loss. So heartbreaking. Take care.
Loosening a loved one is always extremely painful. A few years ago now the wife and I experienced a similar situation where we had to makr the call. All family members present at her passing from us. Mo dry eyes and no understandable sounds. Good for you to have the strength and respect for Cooper to make the call for him. Peace and warm thoughts to you and yours.
Thanks Michael! I'm so sorry to hear about what you went through. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Yeah at some point I had to decide that I wasn't keeping him alive to give him a fighting chance anymore.... I was keeping him alive because I wasn't willing to loose him. And that's when it's time to make the tough call.
So sorry to hear what has happened. I feel your pain and you have my deepest sympathies. My Miniature Pinscher passed recently due to acute liver failure, however his liver was also small so it may have been more chronic. They were not able to tell me what caused everything, but it appears chronic pancreatitis may have caused a blocked bile duct, backing up things into his liver. Chronic pancreatitis is problematic, as it had mild symptoms, but internally other things were going on causing issues for the pancreas, making it swell and blocking a bile duct. The tricky part of a blocked bile duct is that they get very hungry, so when they are eating so well and anxious for food, you tend to think things are going reasonably well, when they are not. So, they tell me that the liver can compensate and do its job until 80% of the liver is gone. Once they hit that 80%, things go bad rapidly, which comes as a shock. In all my years of having several dogs, I have never encountered anything like this before. My baby was only 6 years old and it just breaks my heart that I wasn't able to help him and have him with me yet. I realize it has been about 4 years for you and your loss, so hopefully you have adjusted to the loss. Take care John.
So sorry for your loss of Cooper, We had a purebred Doberman named Remington Steele that had to be put to sleep this year from the same illness. We did everything to help him but the best kindness was to let him go. He was my mom's service dog and a lady's man. He will be miss as well as Cooper. My heart goes out to you.
sorry for your loss. i'm sitting here watching & remembering all the fun with my brothers dobie, cruiser. she was half blk/tan & half red/tan. he had to put her down due to cancer when she was 11(?) it broke my heart almost as much has his. while i'm tearing up for your loss, and ours, i going through memories & smiling. cruiser was always on patrol when my son was outside playing. you could not play with her or pet her while they were outside together. no birds allowed on patrol! lol & if my cat went outside she'd get penned down, sniffed from head to tail & released before patrol would resume. lol just loved how much cruiser loved my son. she did send him flying a few times if he got out the back door slightly ahead of her & man would he get tossed. had to make sure she went first to do her job. lol
Rest In Peace Cooper, I’m sorry for your loss
Thank you very much. It's pretty tough.
😢😢😢 that is so sad and I am very sorry for your loss
My deepest sympathies on your loss :(
god bless you john and your family,i have tears rolling down my face now,im deeply sorry for your loss
So sorry to hear of your loss I understand the pain wish you and your family the best
Sorry for your loss. Cooper inspired me to look into the Doberman breed. I haven’t as yet bought a Doberman but when I can afford one a Doberman is the dog which I would get, they are misrepresented as dangerous and vicious but after seeing cooper and your videos I see that it’s the owners education and socialisation that creates a good or bad dog.
Please accept my sincere condolences. I do solemnly empathise with you. I know what is like to loose a good friend. Hopefully you could start over again and keep us informed and educated.
Thank you! It's been a bit now and it still hurts but my family is on the mend and we are talking to breeders again.
The very same thing happened to my Zeus he was 6 years old he ate socks all the time and we would find them in his stool but he started getting sick later and swelling we took him to the doctor he passed the socks we got him on medication he wasn't passing the water and we thought maybe it was his heart is what they told us but now that I hear about the hepatitis maybe it could have been his liver thank you for sharing all those life with us God bless you and your family my Zeus passed first of September this was so human he knew what I was thinking he followed me everywhere even the restroom slept right next to me my buddy our Dobies are in dog heaven I believe we will see them again God bless you and your family thanks for sharing😇❤
My dog charlie an 11 month red Doberman pinscher was diagnosed with a small liver and has a 431 point Alt. Even though we haven’t had charlie for a whole year it feels like he has been with us for multiple years. God is answering our prayers but unfortunately they are not exactly how we would have it, but we know god is answering our prayers. Hoping and praying that we can have him for at least of 3/4 of life expectancy. Doberman community please feel free to contact me at this point anything helps. ❤❤❤
Sorry for your loss thank you for sharing your story ❤ he looked a lovely dog 🐶
I just lost my male doberman Lucian last week to cancer @11 yrs old. Beautiful black and tan like Cooper. Man the pain is real.
I'm sorry for your loss. I know it's tough
I just saw your video and I am so sorry to hear this. My sincerest condolences to you and your family 😭
My deep condolences.
I'm a new subscriber to your channel. Very sorry to hear about cooper. I know what it's like to lose a dobe as I lost my dobe from Osteosarcoma a month ago. The last four weeks have been a roller coaster of emotions. I've been debating back and forth on whether to go down that path again regarding getting another dobe. As you already know, dobermans are a lot of work, but they are amazing animals. RIP Hanne.
Our condolences to you and your family. We are so sorry to hear this. We enjoy you videos and were always eager to see what Copper was up to next. I was using your videos to help my family fully understand the breed prior to our getting a puppy. Thank you for sharing him with us. R.I.P. Copper
Thank you so much Angelo. It's still hard not having him around. But I think my family has finally gotten to the point where we're ready for another one. Cooper will never be forgotten and I know I'll see him again one day. I'm really glad he was able to make a positive impact on your family. Thanks so much for the kind words!
John, I cried through this whole video and totally feel your anguish. Sadly, our wonderful breed is plagued by many diseases and ailments - and it's due to poor breeding practices over the years. I, myself, have lost 4 of my precious Dobermans in a 4 year time span. DCM and CVI were the two main culprits that took mine, but I know that liver disease is right up there in the top 5 killers of Dobermans. I am saying all this as a preface to the fact that I admire how much you advocate for this breed by encouraging owners to DNA test their pups. I, too, am an ambassador and advocate for this amazing, incomparable breed, but sadly, even with due diligence on our part, our breed is declining and, the worst news I recently read is that this breed may actually go extinct in the next 20 years. I refuse to accept that, and therefore I am thankful to see you going forward with your videos and strongly encouraging folks to DNA test their dogs. We have to eliminate the poor breeding practices by whatever means we can. I stand in full support of you and your channel and God bless you for all you do for this amazing breed.
I'm so sorry. 😢
I can feel the pain as a pet dad. My dob is now with acute jaundice at her 7th year age and I wish she comes back with treatment soon.
Hi sorry for your lose lost my boy 10 years ago to seizures cried watching your video been a while since i got this upset over him but we know have a 1 year old big clumsy girl zena its taken me that long to let go i hope you dont take as long because im now greatfull for the time i had with diezel
John condolences. We had a mirror situation with my beloved standard poodle. It’s awful, but consoling in knowing there’s others out there who have gone through such a difficult situation as well and you’re never alone.
I know this is an older video but I'm so sorry to hear about cooper. You're second channel I subbed to that lost a dog to a genetic issue. The canine show lost his 4month old cane corso recently. She had a genetic heart defect he did all the testing you should and breeder did all their checks just kinda crashed one day. Sucks to lose a friend. I'm dreading when my 10year old golden will leave my side. Nothing can prep you for it. Nothing. I take comfort in fact I firmly believe their physical self leaves but their spirit never strays from your side. Ever. Much love from the OT up in the great white north. I'll be lighting an L in his honor for sure.
My five year old girl was recently diagnosed with this caused by the copper issue. The only clinical signs for her though are limbs showing and ascites in the abdomen. She still eats and is alert and what not. She is on medications right now, but I worry she won't last long. I'm glad you posted this video because it gives me hope. I'm sorry for your loss on your boy. Dobies are such amazing, loving breeds! 🥺
So sorry for your loss! Been watching you for a couple of weeks now. We lost our Atticus at the age of 6 1/2 years. I love that I’m not the only one that jumped into getting a Doberman without doing my research. I wanted one so bad. And I realized too late that I got him from a BYB. My first year with him was such a learning experience! He died from a very bad bloat episode! It’s been almost 2 years and I still cry. I am just now looking for another Dobie boy. I have been watching you. I want to do it right this time. Not easy to find a breeder though. We don’t care about the cost. I am 62. My husband will retire soon. So we are totally ready for a new boy!
John please accept my sincere condolences, you and your family are in my prayers and positive thoughts. A few years ago my female European Doberman died of liver disease as well. I’m going to check out your site, I have some questions for you. God bless 👍🏽
I’m so sorry. 💔
Wish I hadn't come across this video, I've been in your position far too many times... I give you my most sincere and heartfelt condolences! I don't know how you could have kept your composure so well a mere 10 months after... only thing that makes me cry like a 10 year old school girl is the loss of one of my dogs. My last one on June 14th 2016. End of an era and the death of a dream
John, I'm somehow in the darkness. This is a heart crusher. I experienced it when I lost my true pal, Killer. The damn DCM claimed my dobie's life. I did my best to save him, but I felt helpless. We think we are the best in tech, but we still can't stop the death. RIP, Cooper and Killer.
Keep the faith, losing a pet/family member is tough.
Predict that a new member will be coming soon, but don't rush it.
You have shown us, the viewers, that you are a great family for a new "family" member.
All the best.
I love your videos even though I no longer have my Doberman. I now own Akitas and WISH someone made videos for my guys as brilliant as yours. Thanks for doing this. ❤
I lost my last Akita to osteosarcoma of the distal humerus including the shoulder. My research indicated a genetic component was possible so I’m working that my new puppy (his distant cousin) doesn’t experience a similar fate. Thanks again. ❤
I am so sorry for your loss, I know you have a new pup now but I totally get how it feels to lose a dog that's family.
John seeing this video breaks my heart, I hadn’t seen it 💔😪
Thank you! It was definitely rough loosing him. He was a huge part of our family.
Doberman Planet I can’t even Imagine it 😭
@@maydelinvaldivia4310 Thank you so much Maydelin... really means a lot.
Cooper, run free big man ! Run free. John, that was the hardest thing I've ever watched. New to your site, can't get enough of it, but I can see your heart is broken. Man, you made me cry - but I guess you cried more. Stay safe, stay cool, stay Dobermann. My heart goes out to you man.
Your so strong for making these video's, allot of respect.. ♡
i'm so sorry hun
I’m looking into getting a Doberman and came across ur channel and started at the beginning and In a few days I’ve grown attached lol . My heart is breaking for u watching this video sending lots of love n strength to you and yours
So sorry for your loss... I’ve raised champion hunt Golden’s which were also more importantly champion family dogs.. I could only get 8 years out of both of them . I’m nearing early retirement and thanks to your channel I’m seriously looking at the dobie but this last video scares me but great info ...I will have to do some research on this ... bye the way I cried like a baby when I had to put ol Pete and ol skeet down ... loved em and still miss them..
Thank you so much for sharing. It must have been a very difficult video to make. My last girl was diagnosed with chronic active hepatitis then DCM two weeks later. I lost her 10 months later at 7yo. They leave this enormous hole in your heart. So very very sorry for the loss of your beloved boy....words always defy me to convey the enormity of the loss. Our very best to you and your family from Australia ♥️💔
So sad about cooper. He was a beautiful dog. So sad to lose a dog it’s like losing a family member. Sometimes even worse. You need a puppy. This was so sad to watch.
Thank you so much for making this video. We are currently giving our dog the same treatment, and the same exact meds. It’s been a frustrating process like you said the vet seems to you not want to give me any straight answers it seems we are not unique in that regard. I’m sorry for your loss take all the time you need. Honestly this video has been more help than dozen or so times we’ve been to the vet asking her questions. Even though it’s the ending that no one wanted it’s comforting to me to know we’re not the only ones dealing with this. You have a beautiful family I liked and subscribed looking forward to you adding a new family member when you’re ready.
Im so sorry to hear 😥
Thank you!
I have been binging your videos because my husband and I will have our first Doberman February 1st of 2020... I am in tears in this video... I am so sorry for your loss... Cooper has been an inspiration to me as I watch what an amazing dog he is... I pray you find some peace and continue to be an amazing Dobie owner... I am subscribed and excited to be with you on your journey!
We all weep when family dies ..
It's so sad the dog's life span is so less ....
I guess I lost my adopted gsd 2 years ago ..still hasn't been able to get over her ..
I guess we all are helpless in so many things .. yet we will see them again in after life ..😌.
Be strong ..love you from miles away ..
Thank you so much!
My husband and I have been following your channel and catching up on your videos as we are going to get our own first European doberman soon. We have been watching all videos new and old in a rather random order and today came across this one. I am sorry to hear about Cooper, he had the best life. We love learning from you and I have laughed so much, this one was heartbreaking. We have so many more to watch! Thank you for your amazing channel. Becks & Barney
Sorry for your loss. The same thing happened to my Doberman "Nose" had him for about 7 years and he got the cancer and I had to put him down.
I'm so sorry Victor! It's never easy. Seven is too young! I'll be sending you and Nose good thoughts. He's up there playing with Cooper right now!

THANKS.
I'm sure that they are!
I was just thinking about your channel and why I haven’t seen Cooper... How devastating and heartbreaking. I’m so very sorry. ❤️❤️
So sorry for your loss.. Rest In Peace.
I just found your channel today and have been serial watching your videos. I have owned 2 Dobermans in my life and loved them both. I feel your pain and am sending heartfelt condolences to you! My husband and I lost our two dogs about 2 years ago within 24 hours of each other. I cried for weeks and still do sometimes. Gone but never forgotten. Please do not stop putting your videos out. You offer lots of good information and help to all of us. Thank you for sharing this difficult moment. Hugs, Yvonne
Thank you so much for the kind words it really means a lot! I'm so sorry to hear about what you had to go through! Oh, I'm not going anywhere. I'm in love with this breed too much!
Just found this video. Shocked. Sincere condolences to you and your family. I've been through this twice....it ain't easy.
I'm so very sorry.
Doberman Pinchers are one of my many favorite breeds of dogs.
As an owner of a doberman and following your channel for tips when I first got my Dobbie, I cant imagine the pain. Sorry for the loss! Cooper was great! He though us all alot! I know he was def one of the reasons I got my doberman and man am I glad I did. Wish you and the fam an amazing 2020 brotha!
Thanks man that really means a lot. We still miss him a lot. Congrats on your new addition though!
I am so upset you have lost Cooper. He seemed to be a great dog. Hopefully you and the family will recover from this tragic loss. Thank you for sharing this, I understand just how difficult it is.
I feel for you we lost our 6 year old female Dobie Gypsy 6 years old , she had a liver problem aperantly it was more common in females? So after that we had males, so feel for you! I have been watching your channel and you will hear more about my dogs after this ! It hearts every time I loose a Dobi they are the best
