Hi! My husband and I just put a deposit down on a registered European male. We will pick him up at the end of April. We are very excited! Any tips? This will be our first Doberman and only pet. We have two daughters 4 & 7.
Which kennel have you gone too? Dobes are incredibly loving and loyal and very protective of their family be it canine or human. You need to make sure they know who is boss, but they are super intelligent and will be easy to train and handle so long as you are respectful of him/her and reward them with love and cuddles and some fresh meat LOL.
Good luck!
Who is the breeder? There are a lot more "not good" Euro line breeders than there are "good". If you search for your breeder here, you might find more information about them.
As for tips, puppies have teeth, and they use them. On everything. Including humans. Teaching bite inhibition, and what is acceptable to chew on is very important.
Welcome to DT! Honestly, I would ask for my deposit back and walk away. Family dobes is not a good breeder and any breeder breeding dogs from them surely is not either. Just search family dobes here on DT and you will see why.
I'm so sorry you didn't find this forum before a deposit on this kennel. I know Family Dobes.
You will never regret purchasing a puppy from them. So many better safer choices for you.
My family and I are contemplating getting a European Doberman. One of the breeders I’m looking into is Von Hohenhalla. I saw on this discussion board here that you were going to get a Doberman from them a few years back. Was just wondering how your experience has been, and if you’d recommend them?
Joynerreginald2, the original poster hasn't been here since about a month after he made this post, so I'm going to go ahead and close the thread.
I don't see the kennel mentioned anywhere else on DT under that particular name, though Family Dobe is talked about quite a lot very negatively--maybe you could start a thread asking about that kennel or any others you might have questions about.
Welcome to DT from Colorado!
