Update: Kingston has found his home. ❤️❤️

Through no fault of his own, Sir King, dob 7/24/23, is looking for a new couch. UTD on shots and ears have been cropped. Still healing, so experienced owner preferred. AKC, but no papers.

I have recently been contacted for a rescued Dobie needing a good home. Meet Titus. He has been fostered, received vaccinations, and is neutered. He is guessed to be around 3 yrs old. He has been around kids, large and small, other dogs and kitties.

His history is unknown other than he grew up in a cage, so his back was a bit curved. Foster mom says the back has straightened out well. PM if you are interested in filling out an application.

Come meet Tank (and other foster dogs) at this Saturday’s pack walk in Seattle! See below for details.

Meet Tank, a 4-year-old male who has had a rough start moving from Costa Rica to Seattle. This boy spent the majority of his life with just his dad up until a couple months ago when they moved to the states. He had quite the culture shock when adjusting from being the only-dog with his dad to a home with multiple dogs, kids and new humans. Unfortunately, the small resident dogs are not fond of Tank in “their house”, and the owner’s work schedule and upcoming trips are not aligning well with the other household residents wanting to help. With the right owner and some confidence, we feel like Tank would be an amazing companion 💕.

We met Tank with our volunteer trainer Matt and what a stunning boy! He warmed up to us relatively quickly and was great at playing fetch with us. Once he warms up to you, he is known to be a typical velcro dobie that wants affection, lots of playing, long walks or hikes. He walks well on the leash and redirects quickly if he’s feeling insecure from seeing another dog nearby - he met my male and we all went on a walk together with no issues. In Costa Rica, he got along great with balanced, respectful dogs and would do well with a similar dog in his new home, or as the only dog. Sorry, Tank has no history of living with cats! He is neutered, UTD on shots, crate trained and house trained.

If you’d like to come meet Tank at our pack walk, please send us a message or email [email protected] for details. Tank and other fosters will be joining us on our pack walk + training session in the park and would love to meet their potential new families when we are wrapped up!

GREAT NEWS!! Jaxon has been adopted by an amazing family in Utah. They are amazing. They have a Dobie lady, kids and a kitty for Jax to love up on. LOTS of land for him to patrol. He's finally able to fulfill his job as a Doberman and protect his family. I am Soo happy for him. Utah, thank you so much for giving him your love and time to help him work through his anxiety. ❤️😍❤️❤️❤️

Jaxon, my past stud who had been adopted a year ago, is sadly in need of a new home. He has SEVERE SEPARATION ANXIETY and the home where he was, they can't be home with him all the time and don't have the time. When left alone he can be very destructive, putting himself at risk. He would be best with someone experienced with this anxiety and willing to put in the time and effort to help him. I will pay for the behavior training.
This is his ONLY issue. Other than being adult male dog aggressive. This part is due to him having been a stud.
He is great with kids, cats, female dogs big and small and strangers. He has been described as a gentle giant.
Unfortunately being rehomed again will exacerbate this anxiety. So will need someone dedicated to working with the behaviorist and him.

He is proven, intact, fully health tested, and a beautiful example of an AKC Euro Doberman.

Very sad morning for us. Another one (that's 2 of 10) of the puppies from our first litter (2014) passed away from DCM. It's a disease of the heart that takes your Dobie very fast. It is not known what causes this disease. UW has continuing studies to discover ways of eradicating this disease from Dobies, but as of yet, still has no clear answers.

If you have a pup from this first litter, the only way to know if your Dobie has this condition is to have an ultrasound of the heart. That way you know what to expect and can prepare yourself. However, there is no cure.

My deepest condolences go to the family of Maximus 'Moose'. 😭

Hello my friends! An update. After much discussion I have decided that we will not be breeding Isa again. 😭 We are moving to a new phase in our life. I have very much enjoyed breeding these amazing dogs and being part of each of my past puppy parents journeys. I am so proud of how each of my pups have turned out and love those families who took them in and did such a great job raising them.

I will always be available to anyone with questions, concerns, or needing to rehome their Doberman. No judgements whatsoever. Ultimately we all want what's best for these amazing dogs. We all have situations that come up and lives change. I will do whatever I can to help.

Thank you so much and for those who wanted one of the pups from my last litter, I'm so sorry.

I AM AVAILABLE FOR ADVICE AND/OR HELP WITH FINDING A GOOD BREEDER or for anything else you may need. ❤️❤️

Well said. Children need to be trained how to treat an animal. Otherwise any animal can snap.

Well said. Children need to be trained how to treat an animal. Otherwise any animal can snap.

In rescue it feels like we’re always looking for the right things to say to applicants with young children, or applicants with children that haven’t had any dog experience. Dobies and Little Paws Rescue in California hit the nail on the head with this informational post about the importance of boundaries. We get a variety of Dobermans coming in, whether they be owner surrenders or from local shelters. Sometimes we know zero history about a dog and sometimes we do. We do our best to understand each dog prior to placing them in a home and we will always act on the side of caution when assessing a dog and what environment their forever home should be.

Dobies and Little Paws Rescue:
“Are they good with kids? Another common question we get. We might sound like a broken record but the answer is “it depends”. Again, most of the dogs we take in are from shelters with absolutely no history. We don’t know if they have lived with kids and we don’t have kids at the rescue to introduce to every dog. Generally, we start by eliminating dogs that have bite histories or who are far too physically overwhelming. Otherwise, whether a dog can be good with kids or not often depends on boundaries, training and the environment. Most cases where dogs have failed with kids (in our experience) involved an invasion of boundaries. A new dog is sleeping, resting, eating, chewing on a bone and a child approaches. The dog growls, snaps or bites and it’s over. We’ve had some dogs nip kids because they fell on them when asleep or the adults let the child ride the dog like a pony...yup, that irresponsible act actually happened. Does it make those dogs bad with kids? Not necessarily, but boundaries were crossed and most of the time crossed way too soon. When it comes to dogs and children it is absolutely important to create a home environment that sets them both up for success and if you don’t know how then please consult a trainer. Dog trainers are not just there to help your dog but to help you create the mental and physical space to make everyone feel comfortable. It’s unfair to ever expect a dog to “put up with” anything a child may unknowingly do. There are always exceptions to the rule and we get pictures proving that but please be safe. We do try and label dogs for “adult only” homes or recommend “no small kids” if we ever have concerns.”

Frustrating news my friends, I don't think Isa is pregnant. I don't think this one took. She should be much fatter than this. 😕. We can try again on her next heat which will be this fall. Please let me know if you would still like to be on the waiting list. I'm so sorry all those on my list!! We will try again next heat.

We did have a successful 'meeting' between Jax and Isa. I will know in a few weeks if the pregnancy took. Yay! Pups!

Update: Jax has been with a prospective family since Sunday for a trial week. Looking good so far! Will know more soon. Thank you so much for all of your interest! I'm going slow for him as I want this next home to be the final home.

OP:
Very sad development. Please read it all before making a judgement.
My 5 yr old stud Jaxon has started being male dog aggressive. Once my Frenchie male hit puberty, within the last couple months, Jaxon has started going after him. He has gotten him five times and thank goodness we were there to stop him. I have tried training(hence the 5 times), and contacted my Dobie breeder mentor and she believes it isn't something I can train out. Even after either of them get neutered.

I need to find him a new home where he will not be around other male dogs.

He is currently wearing a muzzle whenever he is in the home. This is no way for him to live. I take him for walks, play ball with him in the backyard and do what I can to make him happy, but he can not be around male dogs without it.
This saddens me immensely. He is our boy, and I have a waiting list for the litter planned for this spring. I had no intention of ever rehoming him.
Best case scenario is someone who will take him and allow me to breed him one last time, then he's all yours. Otherwise I will need to cancel this last breeding and make many apologies to those on my waiting list.
There are many who would criticise this decision, and you are allowed your opinion, however, this is not a case of getting rid of the old to make way for the new. This decision was not made lightly or quickly. I often have rescues who come through here and/or boarding and can't have a male dog aggressive dog here.
There are so many amazing people out there that would make a better home for him than here. Wearing a muzzle isn't fair for him. He deserves better and a good owner knows when to make difficult decisions for the best of the pet.

Please PM me for more info/details. 😭
