1. Questions to Ask yourself
- What are your needs and is the Dobermann the right breed?
- Have you had a Dobermann before ( a Dobermann is like a 5-6 year old busy child for the rest of its life!)?
- Do you have another dog or pet in the home?
- What is your family situation? i.e. do you have children, do you have a property with big enough grounds to provide your Dobe with enough exercise and do you have enough time to spend with your dog - training and fun time?
- Do you have the commitment required to dedicate to your new puppy or dog?
- Have you done a thorough study of the breed, e.g. Health, temperament and conformation
2. How to find a Dobermann
- Phone as may breeders as possible, make use of the internet, magazines, your local Veterinarian and KUSA breeders information department
3. When you make the call
- Discuss their dogs health, history, and achievements, with the breeder
- What is your reason for acquiring the new pup?
- What training will you need to do? And will the breeder be available to give help and assistance during the dogs life?
