Not to make light of anyones doberman caused injuries... but so that those of us that have been injured "in the line of dobe duty" dont feel so awful... post up if you too have sustained a doberman caused accident!

I'll start out... most of you know that around Thanksgiving Wild Wyatt broke my nose!

**ellenm** · 01-07-2009, 11:15 AM

Cheers chipped my front tooth pretty badly doing a flip finish in obedience. She leapt up to "kiss" me while flipping to heel position. I saw stars!

doberkris · 01-07-2009, 11:23 AM

Over the years, geesh where to start? Spiked collar on, dobie jumps out of the car still seat belted in, and the spike goes into my thigh making a few nice holes.

Chipped tooth here too

black eye

busted lip...think that's it...now just jinxed myself...so far Morgan has inflicted anything *knock wood*

TexasRed · 01-07-2009, 11:23 AM

1 - squat in the yard
1 - 25lb puppy charging with toy

Full chest hit, down hard twisting onto right hip, puppy nipping at nose in glee =

1 - chiropractor
2 - advil
1 - icepack
Priceless: painfully bruised/inflamed sacroiliac joint!

Sorry double post!

Murreydobe · 01-07-2009, 11:24 AM

My first doberman, Cruiser, caught me unawares when he jumped on me one day. He wound up slamming me into a wall, and giving me something similar to shaken baby syndrome-LOL, my brain got bounced around inside my head. For a few months after that, my equilibrium was completely screwed up.

The worst doberman related injury I was involved with, tho, was when Razzle crashed head on into my friend Carol at a dead run. Razz wound up cracking a bone in Carol's leg, as well as tearing a bunch of ligaments and muscles. Carol was in a cast for six weeks...i was horrified and humiliated by the whole thing. The impact was so hard the ER doc asked Carol if the dog survived!

LeighaG81 · 01-07-2009, 11:32 AM

This thread is very ironic because last night I received a swollen lip from Luna the blind dobie being so excited to hear my voice when I came home last night. I bent down to hug her and she jumped up - perfect timing.

Here's a good one.....

At the dog park, when Apollo plays with other dobies they tend to try to fake each other out around people, meaning when they run they will take quick turns to out run them...well, one time, my husband and I were talking to another dobie owner there when suddently Apollo's new dobie friend, ran right into my hubby. Now, my husband isn't tiny, he's 6ft, 200lbs, and the next thing you know I see his feet, straight up in the air. LOL he fell perfectly and was not hurt but I swear to you it was in slow motion.

Rule of thumb at dog park? Knees bent. ALWAYS.

Khiera · 01-07-2009, 11:33 AM

Not a very serious one (counting my blessings and hoping they keep up) lol:

Mowed down/run over (literally) from behind by Dante during a playdate one day. Nearly sprained my left foot. Limped and hobbled around on a swollen left foot for the next day and a half.

avalonandon · 01-07-2009, 11:40 AM

Nothing hugely serious here but Sebastian poked me in the eye and scratched the eyeball and it took a week to stop itching/stinging every time I blinked. He also poked a hole in my face with a toenail.

This was all in the first six months of having him and my introduction to the infamous dober-poke. He has since learned it is a no-no but he still does it very gently. He will pick his paw up and lightly touch my face, lol...it's really cute (now anyway).

Kpablo · 01-07-2009, 11:40 AM

I don't think the last injury my foot was caused bc of the dogs but I have been head butted several times that caused my some ugly headaches!

thea2003 · 01-07-2009, 11:45 AM

LOL good thread idea.
Lets see bloddy nose from me bending down and her jumping up.
Numerous bruises, and I think she may have broken one of my fingers jumping on it while playing with a toy in the summer- it still hurts if i put pressure on it lol
Oh also when she jumped up one day she somehow scratched my face with her nails and i think i have been slapped in the eye lol- we're both a little clumsy.

Lexxsmom · 01-07-2009, 11:48 AM

Trying to pull Lexx from being attacked, one very deep puncture wound from a canine tooth through the tendon that runs from your arm to your hand.

1 course of antibiotics
1 set of "doctors orders not to work"
3 weeks of pain and numbness through my entire arm
1 build up of scar tissue into a nice little lump in my hand
1 awesome scar and one alive dog.

marlee12002 · 01-07-2009, 11:49 AM

Out in the yard at 11 pm for last potty break of the evening... saw a squirrel and my dog ran into me knocking me off balance. I fell down twisting my ankle and fracturing the top of my foot. Thankfully it was summer time and the weather was nice because the worst part was I almost passed out from the pain and couldn't get up. I swore I had broke my foot... I sat there on the ground for 1 1/2 hours before hubby came from his afternoon shift and helped me get up.

Not to mention the numerous slaps, punches and head butts too... lol

dobermansrule · 01-07-2009, 11:52 AM

nothing serious yet - at least nothing requiring medical treatment.

multiple head bangs, multiple jaw bumps, multiple dober punches in the gut, multiple leg/knee takedowns, tripped and fell twice walking him but that was more my clutziness...

LOL just had a thought - add to this thread the assciated medical treatment costs then calculate a 'medical cost of owning a doberman' - NOT the doberman veterinary costs - the people treatment costs

Wish I would have known about this rule of thumb two weeks ago. We had our first dog park visit last Sunday and he ran into me straight on knocking my knee backwards, but luckily not doing too much damage, just a little sore.

He did manage to bust my lip open a few weeks ago when having a case of the zoomies after unbuckling him from the back seat.

briarious · 01-07-2009, 12:02 PM

while laying wide ASLEEP in bed I received a large, heavy dobie paw from Briarious to my left eye, i love waking up to a black eye!!lol

doberkris · 01-07-2009, 12:05 PM

Had a blond moment...Morgan gave me tennis elbow...how could I forget that while it still hurts!!! *d'oh*

LindaH · 01-07-2009, 12:09 PM

I was stupid enough to bend over Blue, he raised his head sharply and headbutted me over the left eye on the brow. I saw stars, you really do see them. He was also bad for catching you under the chin. He did that so often we decided it was on purpose and started getting onto him for it.
Parker has caught me under the chin once but he mainly just steps all over my feet and vaults off of my foot too. The part right above my toes. He is heavy and it hurts. I have developed a habit of watching my feet when he is around. I have never had one that stepped on my feet as much as he does. He's special!!!

oh - thank you!!!

I had a pretty bad case of tug-elbow last year. The dog can nearly yank my arm out of the socket if I am not careful

Tamena · 01-07-2009, 12:40 PM

I think Tucker has ya'll beat fair and square.

His List O Damages:
1. Elle - bent over him to say hi and ended up with a concussion and a bruise/lump in the middle of her forehead the size of a softball

2. My Youngest (now 13) was playing with said idiot dobe, wasn't paying attention and got bowled over as he plowed into her (this was 4 years ago) causing her to put her teeth through her lip

3. Beloved Idiot Husband - his was the best...while getting Tucker WAY too riled up for my liking, said idiot hubby - using a rope type toy - decided to play keep-a-way with the dog. For future reference the dog is MUCH faster than the hubby. He ended up with 3 very deep puncture wounds in his hand that landed him IN THE HOSPITAL for a WEEK on IV Antibiotics and in ungodly amounts of pain. After the insurance got done paying we still owed $2000 for that particular stunt.

4. I sprained my wrist tripping over him and falling in the kitchen cause he was behind me while I was cooking and I didn't see him

5. Eldest Daughter (now 16) also tripped over Tucker racing him down the stairs to answer the door...the dog also happens to be faster than the 16yr old btw - and abused her already once broken nose badly on the wall at the bottom of the stairway.

so yeah...we know all about Doberdamage in this house trust me

OH! I forgot! He also ripped open my baby brother's hand cause Baby Bro was being an asshat and decided to play "beat up the doberlope" He found out really fast that the doberlope doesn't enjoy being smacked around (even though I warned him REPEATEDLY he continued to do it till I yelled and told him to knock it the he!! off...at which point he did it one more time and got snagged but good on the fingers! - serves the jerk right and no the dog did NOT get in trouble for it)

Tess-a-boo · 01-07-2009, 12:46 PM

Not too much from Tess, at least for me. I'll have to ask hubby tonight...she plays more rough with him (either that or he's too big and slow to get out of her way, LOL). I do have some photos of his nose and forehead being slashed by piranha puppy teeth, but I'm sure he won't want me sharing those.

I've of course had some dobernoses to the eye from Tess being too excited to see us when we come home from work. Also been run into several times during kamikaze running, but no injuries.

I do have one weird one: I have a ganglion cyst on my left wrist. I've noticed that trying to hold a twitching Tess paw still with my left hand while I grind her nails with the Dremel in my right hand has caused the cyst to become VERY irritated lately and my wrist kills!

It sounds to me like you all are just a bunch of idiots. jk

Elle and I would be the only Non-Idiots in this bunch trust me.
The rest qualify big time

Amanda · 01-07-2009, 01:15 PM

Little Miss Athena gave me a black eye while I was blowing raspberries on her belly. She started flailing her long freakin' legs (in a fit of joy, I say :biggrin55

, and POW!

As painful as it was, I couldn't stop laughing.

AZNanny · 01-07-2009, 01:23 PM

One dobe came up in my face during training and broke my nose. Found out a while later that there was a broken root on a front tooth from that incident. Now have a bridge there.
Another broke my little toe while running past me while I was barefoot. Caught my toe and it was sticking straight out sideways. Ouch!
