Hi everyone!

[1der_girl]

I'm new.
I just aquired my 1st Doberman puppy a few weeks ago, and have alot to learn, I'm sure. I've had German Shepherds forever, but when my husband and I decided it was time to add a puppy, we wanted to go with something with less fur (Shepherd people often refer to their dogs as German Shedder Dogs- yes, it's that bad).
So, we currently have a 10 year old shepherd named Willow, and a 10 week old red doberman named Deja.
All of the regular puppy stuff is going fine- no accidents in the house this week (yet), she's learning her manners very well, and is even starting to figure out some basic commands. Our only problem is ears- please check out my post in the health section and offer any advice you may have!
So anyway-
Brand New. Already need help. Probably going to be trouble ;)

We adopted our second doberman a month and a half ago. She's a year and is enrolled in a training class. You will love your dobe and she will return it many-fold! Just be patient and work with her and you will have a great companion. Dobes are Great!!

Welcome to you all, human and dog alike.

Yes puppies are a lot of work but worth it.

Please feel free to ask any questions you have. Are members are more than happy to share their own experience and knowledge.

Dobies do have alot less hair..especially against shepard. But there is some shedding so don't expect to get away perfectly clean. Welcome and I know you will love your new velcro dog (glued to your side!) All my dobies have had natural or 'european' ears so no help with the tape/posting issues here. Good luck
