We had four Dobermans over a period of 30 years, all deceased. They were all loving, loyal and special. The first one, Misty, was given to us by a neighbor. We were walking by and asked, "what kind of dogs are those?". They had two and asked us if we wanted one. We said we would take her home for the weekend to see; she never went back and the rest was history. She was afraid of feet, so obviously mistreated. We gained her trust, however, she only lived a few years. We missed her so much we quickly replaced her with two Doberman puppies, (Daisy Star & Crystal Sky). They both lived over 13 years. Buck, our last Doberman was from the pound. He was a wonderful loving companion. Miss them all. 😢
Love all of their names. It sounds like they were each such special companions! Each made a lasting imprint on your life!
Dobies are hands down THE best dog ever! People unfortunately don't know because of past stigmas attached to this breed. I've had the privilege of being a Dobie parent four times now and I can't imagine my life without or two, or three😉
That's great, Andrea!! So glad you're enjoying life loving all these Dobermans!
My family has constantly owned Dobermans. Josie is our current one & she's committed to me. My shadow (which is perfect due to my seizures). I need her as my medical & emotional support, plus my guard dog. She does everything she's supposed to 🎉
I miss my Doberman so much 💔
My condolences 🙏🏻 😢
I would always take my Doberman hiking to a old abounded silver mine way in woods. No leash needed .At the mine I set my water bottle down while we followed the steep creek downward climbing over fallen trees boulders etc , looking in the creek for treasure that the winter wash exposed. Buddy “Doberman “ turned around halfway down the steep creek and headed toward the top? I’m like buddy come here , he kept going climbing over boulders over fallen trees he grabbed my water bottle then came all the way back down to me carrying my water bottle ❤️.then hiking out of the Forrest I saw a tree that a deer rubbed his horns on scraping the bark off, I took a picture of it and pointed it out to buddy. We’ll all the way out of the woods he would stop and touch his nose to a deer rubbing tree so I had to take a photo of his find. Ohh my goodness one picture of my find and 23 pictures of his finds. I miss my special hiking partner ❤
Wow that's so special! He was really zoned in to what you were trying to show him and completely understood. What a unique bond!
We bought a dobermann because of you and your videos. We love him, it was the best decision we ever made.
It's the best to hear that someone bought a Doberman because of the influence this channel has had on their life. Totally honored by your decision!
Best breed! I loved my boy so much I got a second. Double the Dobie ❤
I have my first doberman and I'm looking for another. They are a different type of dog, for sure.
They are a wonderful breed! So glad you've got another Dobie to love!
Just that they are such incredible dogs!
Yes, Sandra! They sure are!!
I like learning about things my friend, you’re a good teacher. It’s so nice of you to teach us this topic about the Doberman. Bless you my friend.
Hi, Peter! It's great to hear from you again!! Hope you've been well. Thanks so much for your kind words!
I just found your channel through an unrelated comment I just read. I have never owned a Doberman but have wanted to. Mostly because when I was a lonely child I remember my neighbor-family member had a Doberman and he was the only thing I could hug. I remember the adults not liking that I let the dog lick my face. The dog gave me love and that's why I prefer big dogs to this day.
Aww, that is so special!! Love hearing your bond with Dobermans from such a young age.
Best dogs ❤
100%!!
My black and red boy and girl are my 5th and 6th best friends 🥰
Aw good!! They really are our best companions!
I experienced the doberman intelligence first hand on Friday at puppy class... too bad it was used for evil.
He was being taught the "leave it" command by the trainer, which he mostly already knew, but there was beef jerky on the floor and he challenged the trainer the whole time.
Trainer was quick and kept body blocking him. Flint realized he wasn't going to get the jerky this way...
So he walked over to the trainer's golden retriever, whom was sleeping, and peed on her face to get the trainer to react and move away from the jerky.
The instant the trainer moved at all, he bolted for that jerky. I was horrified and impressed at the same time.
a red ? 😂
Oh yes, pee as a weapon .
So during house breaking. Mine noticed the mop used to clean accidents is kept behind the veranda sliding window, beside the bird feeder. She began to deliberately have accidents to get mom to open the sliding window and grab the mop....so she could steal food from the bird feeder.
Hahaha! Very thoughtful and clever of him!!
@@astridcastle6552 Nope he is black lol
@@taramcfadden7076 🖤
I love your watching. I really want a Doberman because of you channel 😂
So glad to hear we've had such a positive influence!!
What makes a Doberman a Doberman? Well in my opinion, it's my girl's loyalty, unconditional love and her unique personality. She is truly my best friend and companion!
Same!
Love hearing this!
An excellent representation of our beloved breed. Completely on point, John. Great video!!
Thank you, Sheilah! Glad you can relate to this!
All of that you said, we witness those characteristics from out two Doberman babies everyday!!!!!
What makes a Doberman special is how they develop a connection with there owners. They are strong, focused eager to please and at the same time goof balls.
Yes, they sure are! Each has their own unique personality, but it's always wonderful!
Their beauty, intelligence, loyalty, & all around a neat friend.
Absolutely!!
It seems as though the various breeds that went into creating the amazing Doberman were like a magic formula💯 I love all dogs but Dobies are just stand out special❤ Was so happy to get the notification for your video, thanks as always John😊 (And Arlo on the table drinking from your cup is so cute and funny😄)
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave this comment, Kris! They sure do stand out above the rest. We appreciate you following the channel so closely!
Excellent video, John. Thank you for your work
Thank you, Cathy! Much appreciated!!
I adopted my Doberman at 10 months, it took over 3 months to finally accept his new home. He’s now 27 months and doing great!
Thank you John..... you now exactly what a doberman is 😊...... nothing compards to the doberman, the best !!!
My doberman has been by my side since she was born. She howls when I walk outside without her. She is very anxious though. I have to take her to a large yard so she can run. She can run for hours! She was my first puppy but she was very easy to train. She has knocked me down a few times but quickly made sure I was okay. I agree that you have to spend a lot of time with them and not everyone should have them because they are all muscle! One time, she wouldn't stop going after something. I couldn't hold her back or get her to calm down. I ended up having to pick her up and carry her away from the situation. I don't know if that was the right thing to do.
Might help to watch some corrective training videos and how to use the correct tools and techniques to stop those unwanted behaviors. Robert Cabral or Haz, with Shieldk9 has some good tips. Good luck with your baby 🥰
Thanks !Yes they are focussed👍
Happy you can relate!!
Well, brother John, I still don't have a Doberman yet because I haven't got my case over with. I'm suing someone I can't move until it's finished, brother
But anyways, God bless you, brother John, and you're an awesome family 👪 keep up the great work that you're doing for the kingdom of Heaven with the encouraging words that you're giving right now 🕊✝️🔥🙌🏿
Thank you!! It will be a happy day when you get a Doberman!
Thank you John! My Red Doberman just turned 9 months, he’s the second one I have owned and this video is exactly as you said!! Amazing video
Very cool to hear that you can relate to this on a personal level!
Doberman - best breed ever 🐾🥰
Best breed period. Their situational awareness is other worldly. Their focus is solely on protecting their pack/family.
"Other worldly" is a great way to describe their focus!
I had a very large red Doberman when I was about 17. Unneutured. Gentle guy got on with all dogs and people except my dads pitbull who he gave a touch up to. Oh and the guy who tried to jump in the backyard at 2 in the morning 😂. Best dog I ever had in my life I'm 57 now
Greets from Belgium from Maja and Finn the doberman 🐾🐾🐾
Hello, Maja and Finn!! So glad to hear from you again!
I had to put down my blue doberman on november 4th, she had DCM and I know she didn’t want to die, that was the hardest part watching her fight to live until the minute my vet and I let her rest 😢 I miss her very much. She was 7 yrs. Old.
Dobies forever!! 👏🏻
Hi mate I have just moved to Europe Serbia I’m a Serb Aussie
And in January I’m getting my first Doberman European Doberman from a well known Doberman breader I’m a little bit nervous but excited I’ve never owned a dog but I have always loved the Doberman I have subscribe to your channel heaps of information thank you.
Watching your videos is ramping up my excitement. I will pick up my Doberman puppy within the first 2 weeks of March 2024!
I have had two dobe's in my life. One was a rescue with insane intelligence. Without training, I could send her into a building to "go get XXX" she would find the person I was talking about and motion them outside. The next one I got as a puppy and she was a breed ambassador and everyone said they had never met a dobe they loved. I now have Manchester Terriers. They have the same bond to the owner and are very intelligent. They are situational protective, meaning just like a dobe, they sense the evil in a person. Both breeds are not for everyone you have to want to have a shadow.
When my dad left the Las Vegas sheriff’s department, they sent his K9 partner with him. His Doberman refused to work with anyone else. He had been a trial K9. They decided to retain the use of German Shepherds. My dad never looked back and had Dobermans from there on out.
That is so special! What a testament to the unbreakable bond they shared. How meaningful for him to have Dobermans the rest of his life as well!! Thank you for sharing that with us.
I could not agree with you more. Dobermans were in/around my home before I was born (I'm now 72). I have enjoyed at minimum of 52 in my lifetime. The last one passed 4 years ago. I'm too old to get another (they are too energetic for my physical self) however, they are the only dog I would consider owning. They are the best in my hones opinion!
Nice Job John............................🦴🦴🦴🦴🦴
Thanks so much, Rob!! Really appreciate your positive feedback!
Hey, No Problem you did a good job John....
No problem
Obsessed with Dobermans❤❤❤
Same here!! ;)
Just saw your online article on dobies! You rock!
I have my 1st. Freddy (FRIEDRICH) is 15 months. Got him from the shelter @ 5 months. I'm likely hooked for life. He's very special.
Thank you for your sense of humor, especially the coffee cup sharing. Wonderful videos! I just shared your videos with a new Doberman owner.
Thank you for sharing this video! That means a lot!
They are the most loving and goofy breed they are intelligent and very protective of their owners the only large breed that I truly love.
Regarding loyalty and focus, everyday when I leave for work our Doberman must have a "group hug" before I leave; my wife and I hug, he then squeezes in between us and raises his head to be pet. If I'm home and she's gone, when she returns, I tell him "Your girlfriend's home." He barks and spins then waits by the door for her. When I come home, he barks and spins and waits at the door. When we come home at the same time, I yell "Everybody's home!" and he runs circles around the living room then greets us individually. I've had other dog breeds, none have reacted in a similar way.
True 👍
Beckman's Dog Training did a video where he put other CZcamsrs/trainers into tiers. His lowest tier were the people who just talk about dogs and/or do reaction videos. His next lowest tier were people who show their own dogs in their training videos, but he feels those people aren't really helping others. He basically has no respect for anyone in those brackets. Of course, HE was in the top tier. lol I know you don't show Arlo because filming stresses him out. You're good at what you do so keep up the good work. 🙂
Everyone has their own thing! Don't see any reason to put others down for doing what they love to do. Everyone learns differently and each CZcamsr gives his or her own take on things...no two are the same! Variety is the spice of life! Love doing what we do here at Doberman Planet!
The more I watch about Dobbies the more I wish I can have one of those. But I can't have them as working full time in a single person house so I will watch. OR I will look for remote job .....
Tactical thinkers, huh? Those are some really keen instincts.
My female Doberman, Zara... is 83lbs of serious functionality in a dog.
I've had her since she was 6 weeks old. She is my property protection specialist and my coyote decoy dog when I'm hunting coyotes.
She does everything asked of her and more...
Hello and thanx for all your great videos. We're considering a doberman, and wondering. Given their loyalty, will they cope well being sittered by a close friend of the family, if we go on a vacation where we can't bring the dog. A friend that frequently visits us. By frequently I mean once a week or more. Thanx again 🙂
Well when I was eight I used to have a Doberman but it passed away when was a puppy because we got them for free and I think he was an American Doberman and like you said a couple years ago about the white patch he that
❤❤
We recently adopted a 5 year old named Karma from a breeder who was looking for a retirement home for her girl. My 15yo has begged for one since she could talk and i finally caved. She recently tore up a man who came into our house in the middle of the night. I was at work and she was home alone with Karma. She phsycially touches everyone, including our baby bulldogs and cats when she does her hourly rounds. Shes amazing. Loves us to death. She gets zoomies in the bed which is painful lol. Shes the most lovable tea kettle.
Karma!!! What a great girl ❤
My Dobbie is SUBERB, a 150 pounds of muscle, fat and teeth. Very protective, has anxiety separation, he is a velcro, pees all over my house when I go to the garage without him. Eats like a horse and poops like an elephant yet I still love him. Lost how many times he knocked me down, hurt me, no intentionLy, it is just his nature, rough as hell.
Sounds like bad breeding no Doberman should be over 100 pounds. Dobermans have enough health problems when you add over sizing just asking for problems.
So sorry for your loss. It is devastating to lose such a loyal, loving companion.
6 dobermans together is actually easier to handle SERIOUSLY
So interesting!! Would love to see a sneak peak into your daily life with six!
If you haven't John, you should look into paw healing ointment. My Doberman runs a lot and has recently began to start bleeding. Any products you recommend?
Question: Our Doberman is 32 inches high AND 32 inches long. His paws are 4 inches by 4.5 inches. He's just 1 year old. He was neutered at 5 months - could that have caused this size?
I have this Dobermen finger, but I only have the red one because the black and tan one looks kind of weird looking
It’s available though it had German shepherd or not
Did that guy in the water get bit?
I saw very little protection
Gotta have time to invest to be fair to this breed.
I want to know if my euro-american dobbie is good in weigth, he is 5 months old and weigths 49 pounds,
"Their loyalty sets them apart from other breeds..."
My pitbull: "hold my rawhide 😤"
He's a lab
Before you get a Doberman know that these dogs aren't easy to raise. I was given a female puppy for free. People with Dobermans will always talk up the breed to the point that they don't express its potential problems.
So what I've learned from my dog:
1. They can be easily over stimulated. They're an athletic breed so you might think that they require a ton of exercise and walks to tire them out, but in reality this could have the opposite effect and only give the dog more energy.
2. They can be really hard headed. They could have days where they just don't care and won't listen to commands. I have researched and one of the things with this breed is that they can have a form of ADHD. I believe this could be to blame and yes this could be the case with a Doberman from a good bloodline as well.
3. Unless you train your dog to be a guard dog, it won't automatically act as a protection dog. My dog is friendly with virtually everyone she's met. I've had strangers come to the door and she could be minding her own business in another room 😂.
4. People have probably bred the protective instinct out of some of the dogs. I have found that most of the people that own this breed treat them like children, not dogs. In the past I've heard people call a dominant Doberman a problem Doberman so if you're looking for a natural protection dog as in it acts like a trained guard dog, chances are you're not going to get one unless you train it.
5. This one is just my opinion but I think the Doberman community is toxic in the sense that they have probably changed the breed's personality traits. Just like how the pitbull community gets a bad rep for mishandling their dogs I feel that the Doberman community should be called out too. Now in this case it's the opposite of what the bully community is known for and it's that they might have bred the aggression out of the breed, but in doing so, the breed has potentially gained other unwanted personality traits. You won't believe how often I hear people talk about how their Dobermans have pretty much taken over their house like it's cute or something to be proud about. I think this adds to the idea of having a breed that's over praised by the same community that has enabled certain characteristics. In my opinion some people wanted a lapdog and got a Doberman when maybe they should've gotten a miniature pinscher. With that said, if you decide to get a Doberman it's very important that you see how the breeder has trained the parents because believe it or not the puppies even at 16 weeks old will carry the habits it learned from the breeder and it's parents.
I've owned multiple dogs over the years and one of the best dogs I've ever had was a mixed breed. It just goes to say that you shouldn't expect a dog to be a certain way only because of the breed. Remember that behind the breed there's always the community so if you want a dobbie look into the community and see if it's what you're looking for.
When u speak about a puppy and letting it sit in a dog cage where it can see u overnight is this just when it is a puppy or is it also for adults
WHAT'S UP WITH ARLO! HOW IS HE DOING? DO YOU EVEN STILL HAVE HIM!!???
Well, a DOBERMAN PINSCHER, nothing else is needed to be said 😅
Can a Doberman fight off a Red Fox ? 🦊
How to make a Doberman trust you?
Disagree, have had dobes, border collies, have Alan now. he's almost as focused.
For all the advancement in science we can't recreate a. Doberman 😂
2- ??? Questions about my Doberman , why does he when I’m laying down sometimes seither Sit on my chest / OR WHY DOES HE COME STAND STRADDLE OVER ME WITH HIS BUTT DERN NEARLY IN MY FACE 🤷🏽♀️and turns his head around and look at me 🤦🏽♀️ 😢 smh 🤦🏼♂️
