The Doberman Pinscher

  • 22/03/2011

All about dogs articles say that the Doberman Pinscher is strong, sleek, and very handsome. They are also rambunctious, slobs and naughty. In short, they are a playful dog when they are relaxed and confident of their status in the hearth of the home. And because of this, they are also dangerously loyal and would defend the home, hearth and family members to the death. They are considered as one of the best guard and defence dogs that could guard the family and children. If a family were wondering which dog breed to choose as one of the best pets a family could ever have, then they will find it in the Dobe.

The Doberman is a medium sized dog that can stand from 26 1/2 - 28 1/2in at the shoulder. Generally, the dogs are larger and taller than the females. Their coats are short, sleek and smooth. The general health of the Dobe could actually be visible on their glossy coats. Dog health advice articles have even stated that the glossier they are, the healthier they are. Their accepted colors are combinations of black and tan, red and tan and blue and tan. And yes, there are also white dobes, but they are not recognized in many countries and they are also quite rare. These are not considered as albino colors.

Character-wise, the Dobe is a noble breed and it shows in their stance whether on a leash or off. Dog training advice from Dobe owners say these dogs can be very boisterous and could mess up the home if they want to play. Their stamina is such that it could go against the dogs or complement them. When they play, they can be rough so they have to be told, not hit nor trained through pain, that they are disappointing their humans if they are too rough. Usually a simple word of "Shame!" said in the right tone accompanied with the appropriate facial expression can make them feel ashamed which stops their unwanted behaviour. They are very brave - some pups show their braveness at less than four months old. They are also very loyal animals if they are given the chance to determine the alpha human in their lives.

But it is this character that makes them psychologically weak. When a doberman feels unwanted and unloved, they can get very neurotic and could physically lash out at anyone. They are like children who, when they feel unwanted and unloved, can act out. If they are made to feel as part of the family, they are very straightforward and reliable dogs.

But new owners must prepare for the puppy when they first get a Dobe. These dogs need their own mats, their own toys and their own blankets. They also like to have their own sofas. These dogs are very territorial and when they feel that they are in the home to protect the family, regardless of their own danger, they will protect that family to their last breath.
