I absolutely LOVE Tucker-love the doberman personality-how beautiful they are-poetry in motion!! BUT I am fearful of the DCM happening! It is just hard. I knew about the problems dobe's had but didn't really know how much I would love this breed...

I had to put my Sweet Boy Rocket down this past August - he had just turned 8-yrs old. We adopted him when he was three. He was diagnosed with Wobblers at 6 yrs and Megaesohpogus this past June. I still miss him so. After reading this forum it seems he lived an 'average' life span - way to short for me. He was a gentle giant (weighed over 100 pounds) - I feel part of me is missing with him gone.

averages are just that...

take all the doberman who have ever lived and find the average life expectancy...impossible.

if you have only been owned by one dobe, then well the average life expectancy for your dobe will be when your dobe dies.

i have been owned by 15 dobes over the last 35 years............the average life span of my dobes is 10 years 2 months.


and as many have said before.................they are never here long enough..............

Hugz to ALL Doberman!
