Doberman Breeders: What to Look for When Selecting a Doberman Pinscher

There are certain things you should look for when you visit Doberman Breeders in search of your healthy Doberman puppy.

Before a puppy is sold, and taken from it’s mother, it should be at least nine weeks old, free of worms, and have had at least one of the permanent shots. A healthy Doberman puppy can often be determined by observing it’s living environment, the appearance of its’ coat, and how much the puppy weighs.

Healthy puppies of about six weeks old should weigh between 9 and 12 pounds; while a puppy of nine weeks should be approximately 18 pounds.

Doberman breeders who take the appropriate steps to ensure the puppy’s sleeping area is kept clean and who make sure their food is dry and fresh, will most likely have healthy puppies. A Doberman puppy should have a very clean, shining coat that appears to be too big for him. The puppies will grow into their skins, so check to see that their skin is a bit loose. A healthy dog’s eyes will be clear of any matter, and will be very alert to what is going on around them. A Quality breeders of Doberman Pinschers ..will ask their potential buyers many questions, because they genuinely care for their dogs.

Questions will probably include whether or not your home has a fenced in yard, where you plan to keep the puppy during the day, where the puppy will sleep, and whether or not you plan to train the dog for showing purposes- or raise it as a family pet. Don’t be offended by such questions, instead consider it a very strong indication that you are dealing with good Doberman breeders and that you will receive a healthy puppy. You should receive at least a four-generation pedigree for any Doberman puppy you purchase, and an AKC blue slip for registration. If registration has already been completed, you’ll want the form signed for transferring ownership.

Be on the lookout for indications of bad breeding practices. Puppies that are kept outside all the time on a dog run, or in small fenced in areas; food and water bowls that have food left in them to spoil are all signs of poor Doberman breeders. If you see signs of poor breeding practices like these, you should not consider purchasing one of the puppies, even if they are the most adorable you’ve ever seen! Chances are, your puppy could have health implications, worms, or genetic problems that occur later in the dogs life.




Good Luck. And Thank You for visiting my Doberman Pinscher website. If you have any questions please feel free to ask using my contact us form.
