hey guys welcome to this new animal wise video today we’re going to talk about the Doberman Pinscher one of the most elegant and strong dogs in the world Carl Friedrich Lewes Doberman created this breed around 1890 he served in the dangerous role of local tax collector and also worked part-time at a dog pen since he had to go to many dangerous areas Doberman decided to create a breed of dog that was able to protect him and at the same time was loyal to people it is not confirmed which breeds participated in the creation of the Doberman but it is thought that the dogs known as butchers dogs were involved experts believe the Doberman is a combination of the beauceron Rottweiler Weimaraner and German Pinscher in past decades the Doberman had a lot of popularity as a watchdog and protector they were widely trained to serve as police dogs and to help the military today the breed has lost its popularity for these roles and is not so common to see these dogs in divisions of the Armed Forces the Doberman is of medium to large size strong muscular and elegant they have dark eyes and their Co is short and dense Dobermans are normally black or brown with the same red markings the height at the withers is 68 to 72 centimeters for males and 63 to 68 centimeters for females the weight is around 40 to 45 kilograms for males and 32 to 35 kilograms for females the Doberman Pinscher is one of the smartest dogs in the world they are friendly and peaceful and very dependent on their family so they’re not suitable for you if you spend most of the day out of home and cannot provide the care they need despite being a friendly dog the Doberman is somewhat suspicious of strangers so it is advisable to thoroughly socialize them from puppyhood remember that this distrust of people does not automatically make them dangerous dogs it isn’t day-to-day life when we can really be surprised by the character of a Doberman they can live in harmony with their family they are sweet affectionate and sensitive dogs although they need plenty of exercise these dogs can adapt to living in an apartment if they receive long daily walks and practice enough exercise that helps them burn off energy despite this they are still better suited to Gardens where they can run free and have fun the Doberman also has a low ability to withstand cold they need an adequate amount of sleep and a comfy place to rest on the other hand physical stimulation is not enough you need to mentally stimulate them to help relieve stress and energy that can accumulate different intelligence games will help us work that aspect there we go finally we add that although the Doberman loses hair on a regular basis their short coat needs little care occasional brushing and a bath every two months will be enough do not forget that the Doberman dog comes under breed specific legislation in various countries you must accustom them to a muzzle in their younger stage so they will not reject it when they’re an adult the Doberman is an extremely intelligent dog Co me to incorporate advanced education and training start with basic socialization a process in which we teach your dog to relate to people animals objects in different environments socialization prevents fear related behaviors in adult dogs also when they are puppies start introducing basic commands always using positive reinforcement in the process the use of punishment collars or training techniques based on punishment can lead to serious behavioral problems in this dog as they are sensitive this should be avoided at all costs even in their young stage Dobermans should continue practicing obedience constantly and start experimenting with active exercise in different intelligence games variety in their education and training shall encourage positive and healthy behavior what we Dean’s training works well with Dobermans and encourages a positive response in the dog you can introduce other activities to motivate them such as tracking hunting therapy or assistance among others this breed is pruned to suffer wobbler syndrome von Willebrand disease hip dysplasia cardiomyopathy or hypothyroidism among others to ensure good health is ideal to visit the vet every six months to observe their health status and give us any relevant indications continue following their vaccination schedule and their external and internal worming needs if you look after your Doberman correctly it will live a happy and healthy life for around ten to fourteen years we hope you found this video informative if you liked it don’t forget to give it a thumbs up and subscribe for more content until next time
