Thinking Of Breeding Doberman Pinschers? This Is A Must Read

If you are wondering how to breed Dobermans of high quality and sound health, your focus should be on the lineage, training, and socialization. Breeding Doberman Pinschers is not hard since the breed is easy to work with.

As a reputable Doberman breeder, you need to decide early on whether you want to breed working dogs (guard dogs) or family pets. None is better, it’s a matter of preferences and budgeting. Working dogs require a lot more pedigree blood and their prices are a lot higher. You will also spend a lot more money with a working Doberman due to professional training and intense socializing.

Because the Doberman Pinscher (spelled Dobermann in some countries) came into existence at the end of the 19th century, they are, in the world of dogs, the new kid on the block. This hasn't stopped the Dobie, as they're affectionately called, from becoming one of the most popular and recognized breeds in the United States.

Their look is elegant and their style is athletic; the Dobie is also intelligent, alert, and loyal. They're a courageous guard dog as well as a beloved family companion.

Health and temperament problems became a serious issue in the breed with its growing popularity, and continue to plague the carelessly bred dogs you'll find in pet stores, through Internet retailers, and at many of the big kennels advertising in the backs of magazines. If you want the steady, protective, intelligent Doberman of your dreams, be prepared to do your due dilligence to find him.

A Doberman is right for you if you're ready to provide loving leadership to your dog, train him consistently and fairly and give him plenty of exercise and outlet for his considerable intelligence. And don't underestimate that intelligence: the Doberman is among the smartest of all dog breeds, and one whose owners need to pay attention lest they find themselves outsmarted. If you expect your dog to spend his days in the backyard and his evenings keeping you company while you play video games, you’d better be prepared for a barking, bored, destructive dog instead of the devoted companion you thought you were bringing into your home.
