How to buy a European Doberman?
Often seen as fierce protectors in some many cinema and television shows, the Doberman is a favored canine when it comes to the field of security. However these dogs are not just fearsome guards but affectionate and loving canines as well. If you really want to own a Doberman, put that aside for having the ability to excel in police, detective and search and rescue missions, they are considered to be loyal companions and even great with children when socialized properly. Take a look at some of their trademark traits that make a Doberman sought by many: they have a sleek and powerful frame and have a dignified poise that is always alert and ready to move in an instant in any direction. They have a narrow wedge shaped like head with erect ears when cropped. The coats are close lying hair with colors of black, black and tan, fawn and even blue with rust markings on the eyes, muzzle, throat chest and paws. Reading and understanding the breed standard can arm you when you go out and visit breeders for a puppy. Here are some tips when going on your trip;
Poor breeders always:
- Seem to focus on getting the dog out of their responsibility
- Cannot provide any documented proof or certification of its clear and sound health
- Do not have knowledge of cropping the ears or docking the tail which is a breed standard
- Fail to inform you about the health concerns such as bloat or heart concerns
Quality breeders always:
- Adhere to the breed standard hence keeping their physical attributes and protective and alert attitude
- Be part of a governing Doberman group or club
- Will take time to show their kennel and its cleanliness
- Will provide certificates of good health and through orientation on how to groom and care for it
Maybe finding a quality breeder may be difficult with one disproving the other and hyping up their own. With not much experience, it can lead to a pitfall leaving you with a poorly bred dog that may cost more to take care of medically or because you would need to either buy new furniture or forcing them to play fetch and all they do is lay down.
