We lost our beloved Dobe Kaya a couple weeks ago. He was 10.5 and was basically our first child.

He blessed our family with so many precious memories over the years.

It happened fast, a Kidney stone so large after 3 hours they could not drain the blatter, lodged in his urethea. Intestinal blockage bloated his tummy and caused severe bloat. Odds were slim after the first attemt and 12k for the surgery with no certainty with the blockage in his urethea.. We had to say our goodbyes.
Guilt with these kind of decisions is hard and I'll never really know if we could have saved you for a few more special years. 💔😔

I do know he was the best dog a man could of asked for. He went everywhere with me the first 2 years. Bar hoping with mom an I, at work you'd sit off center st by NW lumpia because you were tired of the warehouse. On our way down to Oregon we got pulled over in the "bat mobile" by OSP I thought we were cooked you gave him a big kiss and he let us off with a low ticket. You played so well with all the dogs. Our walks at point defiance, Ruston and South Tacoma. You had my back with people I was confrontational with. You were a turd but I loved it. We got another dog for you to have a companion and you were like WTF but overtime you and Jenna were the perfect little duo. Before I had my human child you taught we what it was like to be a dad, to be patient, present and to clean up a lot after you. Your snuggles your charm and personalty are missed dearly. The house is quite without you.. The memories are endless and I'm so grateful to have had such a relationship with my dogg Kaya Larson. RIP. ❤️❤️❤️

This is Kojak 🖤 My 1-year-old Doberman! He is currently in 2nd place in a photo contest, and the winner gets the incredible opportunity to meet Cesar Millan and gets a training session at his Dog Psychology Center! This would be such an awesome opportunity for me and my boy.

I’ve attached his contest placement so you can see where he’s currently sitting. He’s already made it through the first round, and I’m hoping to keep pushing him toward the top!

If anyone here has a second to throw a vote his way, I’d appreciate it more than you know. 🥹 And you do NOT have to pay to vote! When you click to vote, it may automatically show the $10 voting option, but if you scroll all the way to the bottom, there’s a $0/free vote option you can select instead.

Doberman people know how special these dogs are, and I’d love to see one of our own take this thing all the way.🤎

Thank you to anyone who takes the time to support my boy!

Just a little appreciation post for my girl Nana. ❤️ Six years of unconditional love, loyalty, and being my best friend. I genuinely don’t know what I’d do without her. 🐾

Soooo I decided to foster some pups from Arkansas and I fell in love. Guess I'm a foster fail -- she's a red-lilac, 5 month old doberman...mix?? I've had two red dobermans before and she kinda looks like she might be full-on dobie? Initially the rescue said they were dachshund mixes and maybe I can see that in her jaw when she lays down. She gets that soft, wrinkly dachshund jaw and chin.

Actually, I don't know what she could be mixed with outside of that suggestion. I also had her brother for a week, too, and no way could I see him as anything else but doberman. He did have a patch of white flair on his chest, but that's about it. He's the black and tan in the second picture.

Their size might give it away, they're only about 2' tall, but very slender. Chocked it up to the back road country lifestyle they had before coming up to me. She is starting to realize her power though and get all yanky on the leash (she needs obedience training ASAP). I'm hoping with increased nutrition, obedience training, and exercise, she'll grow a bit bigger. Her paws are pretty big and her knees look knobby, like they can handle a lot more height/weight.

When did u spay your dobie?

Hi everyone! I’m looking for some recommendations/advice on how I should build a dog house for Yuji.

Just to clarify, he will NOT be living outside or staying outside all the time! He’s an indoor dog, but this goofy guy absolutely LOVES being outside, especially when it’s raining. He’ll literally sit under a tree and just watch the rain. He does the exact same thing when it snows, so I figured I’d build him a little outdoor house where he can hang out when he wants to be outside.

He honestly acts more like a husky than anything sometimes.

I was thinking about using a design similar to the house in the picture, but making it longer and wider since he’s a Doberman. I’d also like to raise it off the ground to help with snow, rain, and moisture.

My plan is to properly insulate the walls, roof, and floor, and use asphalt shingles for the roof. I’m also considering adding some type of heating for colder weather.

Would a heat lamp or heated blanket/pad be too much? Is one safer/better than the other for an outdoor dog house? Or would it make more sense to buy a small shed and convert/insulate it into a dog house?

I’m in Colorado, so I’m especially thinking about snow and freezing temperatures.

I’d really appreciate any advice, recommendations, or things I should avoid when building it! Thank youuu!
