Hello Everyone,

My name is Eric, Im 22 and currently finishing up school in North Carolina. I am going to be living by myself in a few months and want to get a doberman more than anything so I figured Id make my presence known so I can have the best doberman experience that I can

Well Eric you have come to the right place, all folk on here are great and will always do their best to put you on the right track.
I cannot help to much in advising breeders for you because i live in England,
but i am sure there will be someone to help here,good luck in finding a dobe but be sure to know what you are letting yourself in for,properly trained you will have the finest dog on this planet,untrained you could end up with biggest problem.

Welcome to the forum.....Brumwolf is dead on right......Learn as much as you can, because when you get one, you'll need to learn more. The one thing that always sticks in my mind before I got my little girl is, "You do not need to know everything about a doberman before you get one, but you must be willing to Learn." And this is definately the place to do so.....

thanks guys, yea i have read a decent amount already and think ill be alright, i understand what needs to be done with the breed in order to have one of the best dogs around, im just debating on ways i want to train her now and what levels are freedom im going to allow from the beginning, must start the training process young and they will follow right along with all the way til you as the owner stop which should never happen

Well, not sure you want to get a new dog and then move to Australia! You'll have to quarantine your dog for several months unless that rule has changed lately!
