A Complete Guideline to Choosing your Doberman dog Doberman, also known as Doberman Pinscher is a world famous dog species. It was originally developed around 1890 by Karl Friedrich Louis Dobermann, a tax collector from Germany. The Dobermann has a long muzzle. It stands on its pads and is not usually heavy-footed. Ideally, they have an even and graceful gait. The Dobermann became very popular over a short period of time. It is a relatively new breed, less than 150 years old. According to the latest ranking in 2017 by the American Kennel Club, Dobermanns are the 16th most popular dog breed. Dobermanns started to become popular when they were used in World War II as guard dogs. Right now it is one of the most desired in all over the world because of its intelligent, discerning and fearless attitude. Before having a Doberman it is extremely important to know which one to choose because many people all over the globe are suffering as they failed to choose the suitable one according to their facilities.The variety is enormous and it is important to choose carefully according to interests, lifestyle and current and future circumstances. Some dogs require more grooming than others or even professional grooming. Some dogs may be little, but require a lot of exercise. While others are going to grow into large, heavy. One's need to give careful consideration to how the new Doberman is going to fit into lifestyle. Bearing in mind also, that the dog isn’t always going to be little and in all likelihood he’s going to be around for a good 10 years. After knowing this, the first question that arises is how to choose Doberman? The best method for choosing a Doberman puppy from a litter is to perform basic litter research, a visual inspection of the litter, and a series of temperament tests on each puppy. This will help ensure you’re choosing a healthy puppy whose personality is a good match to yours. There are 5 fundamental steps to choose the best and suitable Doberman. (a) The first step is to perform basic research on the bloodline of the puppies in the litter. This will provide a glimpse at the accomplishments, longevity, and health testing that has been performed on dogs in the same bloodline as the future pup. You can seek help from the breeder for the bloodline information about the Doberman. (b) Second step is visual inspection. It's important to visually inspect the litter in person, to get an idea of any potential issues they may have. It’s also important to meet the breeder in person and see the conditions the puppies are living in. If the dogs seem like they are the cream of the crop health wise, but they are living in horrible conditions, you probably want to think twice about getting a puppy from that breeder. (c)If you don’t see any red flags with the breeder or their facilities, you should then ask the breeder for their opinion on which puppy would be best for you based on your lifestyle. A reputable breeder will interview you every bit as much as you interview them and they should be able to help you select a puppy that fits your lifestyle. (d)In the next step, you’ll be testing each puppy to determine their individual personality traits and checking them for any signs of poor health. It’s important that you have a way to tell all the cute brothers and sisters apart from each other if the breeder doesn’t have them marked in some way already. (e)This is where the rubber meets the road! It’s important to spend time with each puppy separate from the other dogs or from any major distractions. Ask the breeder if you can have access to a separate area such as a different room or even just a separate area of their yard where you can interact with each puppy one on one. And then comes another issue about which many people are ignorant. Health check-up. To check-up the health, few points should be concerned. 1. Make sure the puppy is walking straight and without difficulty. The rear end should be in-line with the front end as they walk. 2. The coat should be soft, smooth, and even. Look for any bald or uneven areas that may indicate an underlying injury or nervous chewing. 3. The skin should be supple and soft. It should also be free from any bite marks (from fleas or other small insects), excessive dandruff, and red splotches. Check around the stomach area of the dog and on it’s back between the shoulder blades. Part the hair with your fingers so you can see the skin. 4. Ears should be clean inside and free from any signs of redness, inflammation, or irritation. 5. Eyes should be clear and bright. The irises of each of the eyes should be the same color and shape. 6. The nose of a puppy is an amazing indicator of the overall health of the dog. The nose should be smooth and slightly moist. 7. The teeth should be bright white and each tooth should be uniform in color. 8. The pads of each paw should be soft and free of cracks. The nails should appear smooth and free of any notable flaws. If all of these mentioned things found fine, then the Doberman is ready to accompany you. After bringing home, the job is not done. It needs some take care. You have to do some task to get the best output from the Doberman. Take your Doberman pinscher to a veterinarian and have him vaccinated. Dobermans are especially vulnerable to the deadly parvovirus if not properly vaccinated, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The initial vaccination is given at 6 weeks of age and every four weeks afterward until the dog reaches 16 to 20 weeks old. Then the next task is to exercise your Doberman daily to prevent any destructive behaviors from developing. This breed requires a significant amount of exercise, more than other breeds, so playing games outdoors such as fetch with dog toys or engaging in a brisk run with him will tire him out. Dobermans are prone to compulsive behaviors such as excessive flank licking if not given outlets for their energy or when stressed. Outdoor activities can prevent these issues from starting, helping to relieve any anxiety. And lastly, feed your Doberman a high-calorie diet if he is exercised regularly to keep up with his caloric requirements for proper nutrition. Choose soy-free dry food and soak it before serving to prevent a condition called bloat, which is common in larger breeds such as the Doberman, recommends the Dog Channel website. Bloat causes a potentially fatal swelling of the stomach. Avoid feeding your Doberman for one hour before or after exercise, which can also help prevent bloat. This is how a Doberman should be taken care of. A Doberman is a good protector as well as brainy. Besides, they can be very close friends. If a Doberman is chosen in the right procedure (as mentioned above) and treated nicely it can be a great pain killer, as well as a good protector.
