Hi, I'm from Boise, Idaho :] I recently came home with the adorable "Maverick", an 8 wk old black and tan Dobe. I went all the way up to Seattle to get him and he'll now be 12 wks on Saturday!

I've grown up with GSD's so I don't really know much about Doberman's but I love the look and the attitude. Maverick has been a great companion so far, he's very much Mama's little boy. I have a bunch of questions since I don't know anything about the breed :confused: and decided to look up a forum for help.

I do plan on doing Schutzhund with Mav and there's a Schutzhund club near my house that I've joined.

Any advice about raising a Dobe puppy would be much appreciated!

Welcome, Mav's! There are certainly many experienced voices here in our little community that are willing to help, but may I also suggest that you get down to your local library or bookstore and start reading! As a fairly new-to-Dobes person myself, I found a wealth of material on puppies, training, and also specifically on Dobes in our local library. I was amazed at how much there was to know, and how little I knew! :eek::D Best of luck, post back with your progress.
