Your Unique Doberman puppies Temperament:
Unique Doberman puppies have been bred to possess an excellent temperament! Without excessive sharpness or over the top drive which would endanger neighbors and friends, they will be an alert and protective dog of you, your home and most importantly your family. For the good of both you and the Doberman breed, we recommend they be raised with kindness so they can become a gentle family companion and loyal guardian.
Your Unique Doberman can easily be trained to be an effective or even vicious dog, however... if so trained he may well cause you a greatly disproportionate share of grief and inconvenience for each possible time his over-protectiveness will or could be of value. Your puppy must be socialized to be of any protective value or benefit! He must allow welcome guests into your home, the meter reader, UPS, FED-X and the mailman to safely interact with you. Your family Doberman will always sense your feelings and respond accordingly!
Your handling of your Unique family Doberman will directly his future character and temperament. A dog not used to people will be unsure and sharp so let your dog know early that visitors will neither harm him nor require his protection of you. Chaining a dog or confining it to a small place away from people is very harmful to his temperament and is quite cruel to a family Doberman, he is not able to protect you if he is kept away from you and he knows this!
Give your new puppy all the love and companionship you can, especially the first week or two because he is still lonely and homesick and has just left his large family here with us.

Here are some of our suggestions for Feeding:
Since weaning, your Unique Doberman puppy has been fed the very best food and NuVet vitamins available. We feed our puppies at least 4 times per day; this can be reduced to 3 times at 9 weeks of age and as full growth nears they can be fed two times per day. Ultimately a once a day feeding can occur however it is best if they are continued to be fed twice a day to reduce the risk of Bloat. Never feed your Doberman and then allow them to run and frolic especially if you are feeding dry kibble as it will swell inside their stomach and increase the risk of bloat.
Try to keep your puppy plump but not overly FAT.
A wide variety of good quality food will aid your pups health and growth. A carrot or other vegetables will be a good treat for him from time to time and is better than allot of the treats offered from the pet store. Avoid feeding raw eggs. An adequate fat content of his diet will provide a smooth, healthy coat, we recommend a tablespoon of organic coconut oil daily. Most of all remember your Unique Doberman puppy will only develop and mature as well as you feed and exercise him!

Here are some of our suggestions for Exercise:
Exercise makes the dog.... Free running in a fenced yard improves the gait and hardens the muscles of Dobermans of any age. We do not recommend road work for Dobermans younger than 18 months of age.
Your Unique Doberman was raised on 10 acres and from weaning he has been exposed to many different things inside and outside, this develops his idea of his world, Boldness, Courage, Curiosity and Intelligence.
We take great care to introduce him slowly to new situations and experiences to develop his full potential, nothing is allowed to frighten or harm him.
When your Doberman is near 2 yrs of age they will begin to feel protective of you and your family, some earlier and some later.

Here are some of our suggestions for Handling:
Your Unique Doberman puppy has been handled since birth. We begin stacking him up for evaluations as soon as they are standing. He is accustomed to being stacked for the show ring since he can remember!
While you are handling or exercising your puppy, be particularly careful of his feet, a crushed foot can end a potential Show / Schutzhund career. Do not lift your puppy up by the shoulders or front legs! The proper way to pick up your puppy is by gently placing your hands or arms under and in front of his front legs and behind the rear legs.
Your Unique Doberman puppy is used to having his toenails filed down with a dremel tool, please continue this after they leave each week when they have their bath.
Keep any practicing for the show ring fun and rewarding and you will retain his winning willingness to please attitude!

Here are some of our suggestions for Housebreaking:
There are as many different theories as people on this topic. Housebreaking really can be quite easy and quick. Your Unique Doberman puppy has now reached or will soon reach the age that permits effective potty training. Nearly all dogs are intrinsically "Clean" and will avoid soiling their own premises if at all possible - their mother has already taught them this. In fact, they are essentially already housebroken and the major problem is to avoid untraining them!
To continue their housebreaking, merely take your puppy outside where you wish him relieve himself EVERYTIME he wakes up no matter how briefly he slept and EVERYTIME he finishes eating or gets up and stirs around looking around for a spot to relieve himself. When he's still small PICK HIM UP because of his young age and inability to control his bladder he might not be able to hold it that long!
Work hard on housebreaking for the time necessary is short and it if you are not paying attention to your young puppy you will pay for every accident you let happen as it is a huge step backwards and causes confusion for your pup.
Prevention is worth a pound of cure. If you will create him or confine him to a very small area at night, when you are gone or too busy to watch him constantly it will certainly speed housebreaking. No puppy wants to sleep right beside the mess he has made and so he will make a huge effort to wait until he is PICKED UP AND CARRIED OUTSIDE each morning.
We recommend keeping your puppy crated at night until he's approximately 9 to 12 months old and is very dependable. This way they make excellent house dogs for the rest of their lives.

Here are some of our suggestions for Chewing:
Your Unique Doberman puppy will chew to help bring in his adult teeth, this is a natural process that should not be discouraged. He will chew regardless of scolding, etc. The proper solution is to keep him away from valuable chairs, shoes, electric cords and similar items until this stage in his life passes. Do not allow him the run of the house at night and or when you are not home to supervise him. Provide him appropriate toys for his necessary tooth development. A crate is a great help when you are not there to watch him.
We give all of our Dobermans large raw beef bones for all of their lives, this keeps them comforted and their teeth sparkling clean.

Here are some of our suggestions for Puppy Training:
We recommend you teach your Unique Doberman puppy to walk on a leash while he's still a baby, along with riding in the car, basic obedience i.e. sit, stay and down, and preliminary show training which includes daily stacking.
Conformation classes are recommended at 4-5 months of age if you think you may want to show your Unique Doberman for his championship title.
We also highly recommend obedience classes while your puppy is young (5-6 months of age) regardless of whether you plan to show him or not. Unique Dobermans recommends Leerburg Kennels DVD's on raising your family companion or beginning Schutzhund training.

A Word About Bloat ~
Bloat is a disease common to deep-chested dogs that can involve twisting or torsion of the stomach with a subsequent blockage of the esophagus at one end and the intestine at the other.
Bloat happens quickly and is often fatal without immediate veterinary attention and surgery.
Its symptoms include retching with no vomiting, extreme salivation, obvious discomfort, and distention of the abdomen. Gulping kibble can bring on an attack of bloat, and Unique Dobermans recommend that our Dobermans should be fed twice daily to avoid the hunger pangs that lead to eating too fast. We also believe that foods containing soybeans, corn or peas shouldn’t be fed to breeds that are susceptible to bloat because the beans can produce gas, those are 100% GMO Food unless labeled ORGANIC.
Many cases of bloat occur in the evening, after the dog has perhaps shared the family snack of pizza or some other highly-spiced food and then exercised. Treatment is expensive and not always successful. Feeding moistened dog food and postponing exercise for a couple of hours after eating their high quality kibble may help prevent bloat. Please contact Unique Dobermans for our recommendations on high quality kibble that won't expand inside their stomachs.
Here at Unique Dobermans we have been fortunate to have never had a Doberman suffer from Bloat or torsion.
A Doberman puppy buyer called from the midwest to ask our opinion on having her female Dobermans stomach stapled while she was being spayed to "Prevent Bloat", we told her it was our practice to not try and fix something that wasn't yet broken as there are substantial risks involved with stomach stapling. While speaking to our local veterinarian about this topic they also told us that the stomach stapling surgery is not without it's own risks or complications.

Bloat is a problem of deep chested dog, possibly why we've never had issues with bloat is that our breeding dogs are athletes, competing in mentally and physically challenging IPO/Schutzhund sports and come from German and European bloodlines, not American show dogs that can be "Overdone" in the front which creates the deep and in our eyes an unbalanced chest as shown by the champion show dog above.
|
This is a photo of our Gero vom Fachenfelde, he was imported from Germany and was a working dog. He was not overdone in the chest and had a strong and correctly built back, loin, thigh and hind leg which was able to carry him over large jumps.
The father of the dog on the left is sadly reported to have died of Bloat at 7 yrs of age. |
