Hi John, I have been a dobie lover forever. I’ve had 3 so far. Wish I had seen your video years ago
Although I’ve loved all my boys, I have spent thousands of dollars on their health because they were back yard breeders. My last guy has been gone 2 years now. Liver problems. I miss him everyday. My husband brought home a Boston terrier, NO COMPARISON. I’m still looking. I’m getting on into years now. When I find my next boy I hope I can do him justice. I live in long island ny, if you here about one, please, please email me. Have a huge yard, lots of time and a lot of love to give one. Thanks. Many blessings. Stay safe. Dorothy

I just saw your youtube on your family loosing Cooper and my deepest goes with you. i wanted to throw my 2 cents in so that you can update your spreadsheet and plus i love the breed. Moses at present has been diagnosed with bone cancer and im not gonna try the scientific name. Moses which is my dobie will be 8 this april and im not sure he will make it. i did not help his odds by having him fixed before 18 months and im not sure i can tell he is in pain, only that he is much slower. i gauge his abilities by going for short rides and he has yet turned one down and when outside i leave my truck door open because that is where he likes to sit. my days with Moses is numbered but dang how do you tell such a good friend by. He is a blessing and the most intelligent i have ever had the pleasure of being friends with. i have enjoyed most of your vids and only cause i havent watched them all. thank you. rsb

In reply to Shantel Luckett. Hi Shantel! Unfortunately, I'm not releasing the name of the breeder I used at this time. There are a lot of reasons for this but the biggest are simply that I can't endorse any breeder at this time and also choosing a breeder is such a personal decision. What's right for one family isn't necessarily right for another. If any of this changes I'll definitely let everyone know ASAP! Thanks for your understanding with this.

Hello John,
I just found your YouTube Channel, and I love it! Our first double was a ‘next-day termination’ rescue from a shelter. The shelter would not give any info as to why he was there. We took him home and I needed a dog house big enough for him. As luck would have it, there was a doggie and a dog house for sale. I called and told the lady that I just needed the dog house because I just adopted a dog. She had me call him “Saber” and he snapped his head around. She was so upset he was ‘next-day termination’ and so happy we took him. She brought us the dog house and he was sad when she left, because he thought she was taking him home. Turns out the dog was only one year old and his owner (her husband) recently died. She had arthritic knees and could not take care of him. He was the love of our lives. He lived to be over 13 years old. It took a long time to open my heart up to another, but I did. The next dog we rescued was severely abused by his prior owner. He wanted a fierce dog- kept him in a wired cage almost constantly and fed him cigarettes to get him addicted to nicotine. He became so territorial inside of his cage the owner could barely approach the cage to feed him. He did come to me and obey simple commands for treats. I told him that I would take him if he got in my truck. He bonded very tightly with me. He has focal seizures (I believe from nicotine ingestion as a puppy), but CBD oil quickly rectifies the problem. He is not to be trusted around people, so I put him in my bedroom or in a separate fenced area when we have company. I do muzzle him when he goes to the vet, because he is afraid and lunges. He is a good dog for me and my family, but not a good dog for strangers or scary situations for him. Knowing that, we protect him. He is a love, and brings much joy to us. I tell his story. I want to raise awareness that cruelty to any animal is wrong. Isolation and chemical dependency is cruel. Only because we do not have small children living on the property and the adults that live here are fully aware to keep him separated from visitors does this magnificent boy have a good life. Caesar did not deserve this disadvantage to his life. Dobermans are my favorites!!! We are thinking about getting him a little Doberman sister, and I appreciate your list of where to go for a reputable breeder. I have enjoyed the two rescued dories we have had in our lives, and we are thinking about a puppy next go around!

In reply to kayli davidson.

Thank you so much for your kind words… and I’m so sorry to hear what you’ve been through! The DPCA is a good place to find breeders of American Dobermans but it won’t help much for locating breeders of European Dobermans in the states. I am working right now on finding the best resources for European Dobermans and hopefully will have that information out in the future. For now, it’s best to get involved with a Doberman club as you mentioned and simply ask around. Also Doberman groups only and Doberman forums… see what breeders others are using. In the future, I hope to have a list of good resources for European Doberman breeders but I don’t have that yet. Good luck to you and thank you so much for your comment. Don’t be a stranger here!

In reply to John Walter.

its very confusing I am only interested a European large black male , driven , energetic woking dog! I’ve had 3 in the past they were incredible . My last one came from Serbia ..Slobodon and I don’t believe they check for DCM. Mine had the doberman shakes, cardio myopathy, and one of his testicles didn’t drop..he was amazing and over 100 LBS gorgeous, he was so in-uned to me and I took him everywhere.. very active, muscular you name it. After he fainted 3 times I then came to realize it was like he had a mini stroke , then he got up and was ok!! The ver gave him and ekg twice a year and he was on human heart medication soltal 80 mg twice a day for the rest of his life. He was amazing on that, however I had trupanion insurance and I would never have another dog without that insurance, or I would have gone broke !!
I lost him at 8 yrs old tragically due to a bone that was lodged and severed his throat!! !! You should do a topic on that since there aren’t any warning labels on bones and the meat market closed down and my very told me to get the large knuckle bones from Tractor supply and said those were the best ..obviously that bone killed him!! It was a nightmare going out and finding him dead with blood running all over the deck from his throat..!! I will never give any dobermans any bones as long as I live..I’m still devastated he was my everything!! I am trying to reputable European breeder , I found on in Moscow Saint kreal and you’ve stated they would be in the DPCA? I know you can’t say one way or another but you could answer that question..Please I need to find another awesome doberman to bring my spirit lever back to happiness!! He’s buried on my ranch and I talk to him every day!! I’m in Grassvalley and would like to hook up with a doberman club!! Thank you for your input or suggestions!! I love your topics..their awesome and very informative!! I have over 500,000 followers on instagram and will let others know about your research ,background and love for this breed!! Thank you:-))
