I’m not sure of the smell that you’re referring to. They do have a smell when they come in from being out in the hot sun for a while but that passes quickly. They also have a bit of a “wet dog smell” when they get wet but it isn’t bad and also passes quickly since they have such a small amount of fur as compared to many other breeds. Hopefully this answered your question.

Congratulations for the web page and for the youtube chanel.
I understand that the Doberman does not shed much but I want to ask you if they have the specific smell of large dogs such as the German Shepherd.

Thank you very much!

Generally, you don’t want to put a Doberman through strenuous exercise until they’re at least 18 months of age (2 years is better). The reason is that their bones are still developing and repetitive and intensive impacts on the joints can cause damage and issues with how they form. Now, of course this depends on how strenuous the walks are (a slow stroll, or a power walk/run) and it depends heavily on the type of ground you’re walking on. Walking on concrete is much harder on her developing joints than dirt or grass. I would talk to a veterinarian to make sure that what you want to do with her is ok. Good luck! Glad to hear she’s doing so well with training, that’s great!
