Thank you for posting this, I found it very interesting. Having had two DCM Dobes, the medical info wasn't new to me but the info about the breed club not choosing to mandate testing was. It sure seems like a sadly missed opportunity. I hope that the individual responsible breeder will stand up and test regardless of whether they have to or not.

Thank you Rosamburg for posting this. Having a DCM dog and seeing all the ones who are gone just on DT is so heartbreaking. It is very discouraging though to see that even the Doberman Clubs are not stepping up to the plate and very discouraging to hear from those experts that the prognosis for the breed is not good. Very, very sad. Kudos to all the breeders who are trying but hate to sound so negative it might not be enough.

DCM in Germany

I know Ursel - the breeder who did the Video and I can say that she is one of the few Breeders in the German speaking countries that tries to make People aware of this increasing health Problem in Dobermanns.
Rarely does a Breeder here voluntarily discloses info regarding DCM in their blood lines. Here in Europe (at least Germany and Switzerland) we are very behind the times when it comes to DCM.
I think this Video is great and a big compliment to Ursel and everyone else that was involved in the making of it.

I just lost my 7 1/2 yr old male to DCM a week ago today. He is the second dog I have lost to this disease. I watched the video and signed the petition. That's not enough for me. I need to do something! My dog is gone. My grief has turned to anger and maybe that's what its going to take to wake people up and really work at fixing this. Otherwise,pretty soon there will be no more Doberman Pinschers. How terribly sad that the breed we love so much is near being wipe out.

Wonderful

The People who did this video are heroes. Thank you so much.:nicejob:
Great and touching (but long) video everybody should watch before purchasing a dog, especially a pure breed like a Dobermann (I know you call it Doberman Pincher).
Super Video, ergreifend (etwas lang) Das sollte jeder anschauen bevor er einen Welpen kauft, vor allem wenn es ein Rassehund sein soll wie der Dobermann.
Excelente video, emocional y bastante real (poco largo). Todas las personas debería ver antes de comprar un perro, sobre todo si quieren una raza pura como un Doberman.
