Aiden Meets the Big Dobermans

[@06jkeidel]

Few things are more majestic than getting to watch your dogs run free and enjoy themselves like that. Thanks for sharing :-)

[@addicusbrown]

Such beautiful dogs. I had a kind Doberman/Rottweiller mix when I was a kid named Zeus. Great dog. I must admit I have an Alaskan Malamute and Siberian Husky now and I prefer them, but the Doberman always holds a place in my heart.

[@theophano]

I think they are more sensitive than humans because they are covered with fur. I noticed that dogs whose ears stand up naturally such as German Shepherds have a lot of hair covering the opening on the ear canal to protect it. We've had Dobes in the family since '59 - love 'em!! Some had their ears up before we bought them already but we would never have it done now.

[@MattyThrash1]

I think that natural ears make them more cute and approachable.

[@vivalabad6]

I agree, the cropped ears make the Doberman have that unique and powerful look.

[@BellaSC]

I cropped my first dobe and swore I would never do it again. So when the time came and I got my second dobe I left her ears natural and I am so glad that I did. It absolutely matched her personality, bubbly and sweet.

[@kirkygirl]

Well I believe that you introduced the puppy in a very intelligent matter that was unaggressive and safe. All the other dogs seem to like Aiden. Aiden is gorgeous!

[@kingster2929]

Thank you for saving her life. That made my day. Beautiful dogs...

[@debstrzelecki8805]

God bless you for having a rescue. I've had 2 in my past 37+ years of having Dobies. I feed raw and grain free. That seems to help. The rescues were so sweet, but aren't all Dobies the sweetest?

[@SaskatchewanAvalancheWatch]

Dobermans are beautiful with or without the ears cropped. Half of their beauty comes from their charisma and character anyhow.

[@bydlomonster]

They are so beautiful with natural ears!

[@tieghm6497]

I love how their ears aren't cropped, beautiful dogs :)

[@ethicomm]

Such beautiful dogs, graceful fools running around.

[@ShockNAweMack]

It's amazing how a dog that is as formiddable as the Doberman can be such a kind, gentle and a freakin cuddle buddy! Dobermans are definately in the upper eschalon of the dog world and can protect you from ANY other dogs or people. I love the fact that Dobermans are as wonderful as they are and even thugs that walk up with their bully style PitBulls have a tendency to be a little nervous.

[@DobermansRock]

I love em. They have great personality, spirit, and energy. If I could I would love to own a pack. You are lucky Joy no doubt. Thanks for the video... And like mine thier barks are rockin. If I couldnt see em on the other side of a fence. Trust me I would not jump over.

[@JauntyM]

That is exactly what came to my mind when I saw those dogs. Must cost a heck a lot of money to feed'em. But that's the least we could do for our dogs loving us so much in return - feed them well. :)

[@kirkygirl]

His own bedroom?!?! How spoiled can you get? :D Lucky puppy.

[@AnnieShotit]

I'm glad everyone is enjoying the videos, Joy and I had fun filming. And more are coming! And we'll be updating her site soon, so please stay tuned! And thanks for the compliments on her website, we work hard on that.

[@JauntyM]

No wonder they're so healthy. Nice work!

[@uoytnawi]

when i retire i'll get a space for my dogs , where they can just run free , like in your video . i love Dobermans . for now , though i have the indoor mini pinschers... but just as well , they run free, too indoors...

[@TheSupergranny]

Wow they are SOOO big & FAST...Beautiful.... Cheers from Mary the Suergranny

[@strongbadd665]

AYE poursuivant! Cropping ears also helps with infection. Also Dobermans are known to have brittle tails, when a dog breaks it tail (Very sad to see) it hurts the dog like holy hell. By docking the tail you can bypass this completely. The pups are under local anastetic when they are docked and cropped so they hardly feel a thing. I worked with a vet for a few summers and we saw a dobie with a broken tail, poor dog could hardly stand he was hurting so much.

[@sexyblondeangel88]

i have two and they are my babies, i love them soooo much ! ^^ awesome vid

[@Gaypuppetbomber]

I love your dogs, they're so beautiful. And their bark! Doby barks are the best. Just to add my opinion, I like the look of cropped ears. They make the Doby look so much... more, I think. Don't get me wrong, if you wanna go all 'It's wrong' and not crop, it's cool. I just like them that way. I've never seen a Blue one before, though, and may I say, he/she is amazing!

[@rebapep2]

I have two miniatures Schnauzers. They had their tails cut when they were born. I did not have theirs ears cropped because I think it is a kind of cruelty. I have seen pictures of cropped ears on Dobermans and the vet made a very real mess with it. After it is cut...no turning back ! I agree with you philipsqazxsw !!

[@pea6]

Thankfully pinning the ears is no longer allowed here in the UK. Ours has natural ears and a glorious tail. It's good to see some of these with normal ears.

[@DucatiBarbie]

its called ear cropping. they cut the ears and as they heal, they put something hard or stiff against them to make the cartilage stand up

[@vocalg1]

sorry I said you have marvelous looking Dobermann. What a great dog good for you

[@kullansandra89]

Oh :) I just wondered reeeally wonderfull dogs you got there thoug ! :) //Sandra from sweden

[@ericcasas1974]

HOLY COW!! I have a doberman who eats like a horse. I thought one was bad!! You probably go through a bag of food per feeding!!!! =O

[@tbadger]

@pea6 I do, and what amazing grounds. I love the below comment that cropping makes the dog more alert! How does removing surface area increase hearing!?!?! Anyway, beautiful animals, and beautiful surroundings.

[@AnnieShotit]

Yeah Joy, you tell 'em! I guess not everyone was listening when their mothers told them that if they didn't have anything nice to say, they shouldn't say anything at all.

[@danielccolon]

Kudos on the uncropped ears. They're beautiful just the way they are; I don't need a generic "attack dog" to feel cool.

lovely dogs! would they bite me if i entered? lol:P seriously tho stunning dogs you have!:)

[@artvixen]

it's just b/c the dogs in the video didn't get their ears cropped like most doberman breeders do. the floppy ears do make them look rottyish but that's just how their ears look naturally.

[@wolfydan121]

lol, with the rep dobes have for being "kilers", it definately looks like noone would be game to try break into your house! theyre beautiful! XD i hope to get one in the next 12 months too!

[@KellyGreen5555]

Beautiful dogs but I'm glad I'm not your neighbour! Nothing like the sound of barking dogs 24/7 lol

[@musicianforjesus]

Gracious I'd be afraid to get around that many dobermans at once. Some of those things can be mean I hear.

[@pea6]

@borninthe90sdecade No, ears that stick up are surgically pinned. Naturally Dobermans have floppy (and pretty cute) ears. I don't think it makes them more violent but it's surgery that is not necessary.

[@DobermansRock]

You have to love the bark...

[@pokinsmot]

i was gonna ask about that... glad to hear shes doin ok

[@msnina918]

i don't know why ppl have such a problem with cropping ears, if u don't want to do it don't, but the breed was created to have its ears cropped. We created different breeds to have certain looks and temperaments, the crop goes with the Doberman look (not to mention if they're working, the ears don't flop all over)

[@jairus1230]

yeah! thats how mr doberman do his elegant doberman.

[@pcp1979]

Spot on, horses for courses so to speak, i prefer dobies, my friend has a rottie and it's an amazing dog

[@DobermansRock]

My male is underwieght. His dad was 120(which I think is overwieght) But my boy is only 76 lbs, and I can see his ribs a touch. So another 10 to fifteen would be great. He is pretty tall. A good 28 inches. I started mine up on the Nutro after reading your site. I do like thier canned food far more than the rest. It is actually food, to the eye. I will be taking him in soon to see if there may be another reason for him to be underwieght. I love this breed. They are it. If you can handle them.

[@fun649]

First that's more than a sprain!!!And yes I take my dobes to the vet anytime they would have something going on like the one in your video!!!!Just like I would take my daughter to a doctor just to make sure everything is ok!!!I really wasn't trying to offend just concerned!!We love all animals from our dogs to our reptiles!!!!And you should have know when you posted a hurt dog on utube you were goin to hear about it so don't be surprised!!!!!

[@galamexa789]

Doberman is spelled as dobermann in all German speaking countries and most others. The breed was obviously named after Mr. Dobermann and the only reason English speaking countries drop the last "n" is to shorten the world because the last letter is not vitally important to the pronunciation.

[@wolfstardoberman]

Wow what beautiful Dobes!! I wish I had a yard that big! And that grass! I've never seen so much that wasnt at a park. thats the problem with living in a desert area. I have one, a black male, and I'm getting my second, a red female, this weekend. I don't really mind the natural look but I have my dobes ears cropped. Its a bell crop. My vet doesnt do the show crop which is fine by me! How do you get your dogs not to challege the fence??

[@zaggaona]

everyone is so quick to judge or point out someone's flaws

[@cnvw974]

I feed mine Call of the Wild, the Salmon mix. (Grey Hound races here use the same) It's sad when I see people feed their dogs cheap dog food, if they would just try buying better food, they would see how healthier their dogs would be ...along with SAVING money and less waste in the yard! You should be Proud of them and yourself!

[@studypuppy]

@W33Dblazer That is how the breed was designed and that's how it is meant to look and it looks good. It's not a Weimaraner. The pain is temporary and given the things my wife does for beauty being docked and cropped in not a big deal. No one would forces you to dock/crop yours. Incidentally the docked and cropped Dobe's are far less likely to end up in a shelter or abandoned. It seems like the ones willing to pay extra for the look are loving owners.

[@DobermansRock]

Awesome Joy. Dont know why you have haters out there. I ckd yoursite and its awesome... You really do love the animal...

[@gatolupas]

@GypsyAvira Aww good luck- and if he does have it, I hope it's treatable. My 12 year old Dane had a malignant tumor which was successfully removed with only a local anesthetic and a great vet and a great surgeon, and she lived well for another year and a half. I miss her.

[@GypsyAvira]

My dobie for 12 years was my best friend... he might have cancer and we are going to the vet tomorrow... wish us luck he really needs it ( his name is rocket)

[@xtapodiKsidato]

Now this is a yard you dont want to rob....

[@maharley27]

@hamletfa It looks like it was fine toward the end of the video. Sometimes when dogs run in grassy terain, they get weeds or debri stuck under their paws and you gotta get it out for them. Maybe thats why it limped a little.

[@ShockNAweMack]

Doberman is Actually spelled with 2 N's. The Creator was Karl Friedrich Louis Dobermann. A German Tax Collector that wanted a dog that was versatile and strong enough to protect him....Just a Fact.

[@TheGreatYuffie]

@catukiki Id just like to point out, SOME (poorly breed) Dobies do have very weak tails. My baby of 4 years had to have her tail amputated later in life when it did break. My vet told us that most long tailed working breeds from shelters (or ranch dogs) should have dock tails just to avoid injury. Id hate to have someone else get their dogs tail broken. My girl was bed-ridden for weeks.

[@DobermansRock]

Thanks again for the video....

[@DobermansRock]

We have a big problem. Its called BSL. I landed on it by accident. Um this is a call to arms. If you own one of the breeds. Its time to take action. Nuff said...

[@theonlyrel]

I don't think ANYONE will ever trespass on your property. :D

[@fstwrtr]

A great breed.. I prefer the cropped ears though.

[@Kampf0r]

Yeah that is a really good kennel huh - dog limping around and God knows what! What about caring for your dogs!

[@pea6]

@snoopslittledawgy Sort of curls up a bit at the end. Wags like a mad man when happy or exited. Beautiful site.

[@pacovl46]

i know cropping the ears is cruel and it's correct to be banned, but still it makes all the difference in the appearance of the dog. my boss used to have one with natural ears and when he fist told me it's a dobermann i didn't believe it. i thought it's some sort of hunting dog, especially because it was reddish-brown colored. but when he held his ears up it was definitely clear what breed it was.

[@movitmovit]

i'd imagine you don't get many intruders around your property :)

[@jmw61587]

@danielccolon I've gone back and forth on this and I get what you're saying; however I think when I own one I'll crop the ears. I hear it decreases the incidence of ear infections.

[@scotterinsam]

their ears don't naturally stand up, it is done through surgery normally when they are puupies although it is done less now

[@zstaz]

nice place!i wish i would have that place 2 play wit my greatdens!

[@artvixen]

now that's alot of dobers :)

[@RodStewartfan1]

I LUV DOBERMANS! We have one. hes so sweet!

[@JauntyM]

Awesome Dobes! What do you feed them?

[@warmlandlass1]

@tbadger great company for one another, and a place to run and play--poetry in motion!

[@chihuahuababy37]

pretty babies but did anyone notice the red and rust that was limping HARD?

[@bruttomucco]

you are a little hysterical. why, what's the sickness? :)

[@jason91078]

I prefer natrural ears also. I think its better for the dogs. They get less "stuff" in them.

[@jellyballoo]

ohhh one of the red dobs in the fence has a sore paw poor little guy

[@PoisonEgyptianCobra]

that is verry true! and my dog has everything, which was there in the first place... but i think thats a different topic and i do think there is a tiny difference between removing a dogs testicals and cropping ears, to make it look more "intimidating"... although it's true, we shouldn't be the one deciding over an animals well-being. unfortunately we do...

[@IpodCY]

@peterf16 a doberman without cropped ears has more moisture under the ears= bacteria, so basically ur helping ur dog in the long run, and docked tails keeps the dog from harming itself when wagging its tail against objects..... theres a reason behind everything its not just fashion

[@TedFloryd]

@fun649 Do you "run" to the doctors every time you get a sprain? Iäm sure the owner knows what is going on and every single limp does not require a frikkin cast!

[@Steamer10600]

I'm a long time Doberman owner and lover (50+years), and if you were my neighbor I'd ask for permission to play ball, and hug on every one of you fine Doberman friends. People who don't like Dobermans are (in my opinion) simply not as smart at as the Dog it's self.

[@DobermansRock]

After my tour in Iraq I have been a bit emotional to things I normally wouldnt, and that made me about break a tear. There is another that you will find under the same listing. It titled something close to , noe they are gone, its 9 min. long or so, and its is really bad.

[@Sodnal]

Big one looks part Rotty. I'm sure he isn't, because they're purebreeds. But he looks like it.

[@CATLL99]

ur dogs r beautiful

[@Biocide84]

love the uncropped ears, chose not to mutilate my dobie aswell. the tail was cut when i got him, i seen a doberman with an uncut tail and it was a nasty looking thing. have a bulldog that i wish i would have took the tail off of just cause my dogs live inside with me and hes always knockin shit over with the thing when he gets excited. i will always have a doberman, so beautiful and smart.

[@loopsntroops]

Actually..dobermannx2..I was just admiring the fact that all hers had "natural" ears. Why change something that is so perfect. Annie?...do you have a blue dobbie there?

[@musicianforjesus]

Iknow they didn't look it in the video. Looks like you've got them well trained. Plus they have a big open space to run in. I knew some people with a doberman once and they kept it chained or pinned in a very small area and that dog got to where it was mean. Its better if you keep them the way you have them.

[@DobermansRock]

The state of Mass. Has banned them. And thats no suprise from them Massholes. I lived in N.H. for a time and we did'nt much like them folk. Try in youtube Doberman. Its a rusty color picture. Pick it. Awesome vid with good music. I know you will luagh and be proud at the end.

[@LunaticFringeHunter]

@Eira943 "However, we crop them because we like the look. Nothing more, nothing less." Exactly...we like the look of the cropped ears. To each his own. For instance, we in the U.S. are partial to dentists and oral hygiene, something that continues to escape the know-it-alls in the U.K. : )

[@fun649]

You really should take the dog with the hurt leg to a vet!!!!

[@pea6]

@Veternik94 Thanks for the lovely insult. Why would NOT docking tails and NOT pinning ears cause ear infections? I've been keeping Dobermans for 30 years and never had such a problem. Pinning ears does not prevent infection. It's widely known here and so there is no medical reason for it and therefor not allowed.

[@tbadger]

They look better with "normal" ears.

[@platonicx]

Buy a book about dobes and dogtraining in general. Spent a lot of time with ur dog by training and also go to somesort of your local training grounds where proffesionals can give you some advice.

[@vocalg1]

thanx, die Grammatik, Ausbildungslektion ist awsome: P aber lieben yeah die Schaftmaschinen. bin ich Gehen, ein A pluss zu erhalten?

[@emmanuellengua]

0:00 hahaha the face of the brown dog hahahaha

[@midevilmaiden89]

those are alot of dobies ! Lol

[@pea6]

@xskatrjakex I've been keeping them for over 20 years and have seen plenty. At present we only have 1 but know of 5 in a 3 mile radius that also have a natural look. It's (thankfully) getting more common now.

[@totalwarwolves13]

awsome dogs

[@fordka58]

@JoysDobies I'm sure you have it already, but JUST in case - for osteochondrosis - glucosamine dose in the morning is so helpful (depending on what other med.s being taken naturally). Also eases the arthritis usually associated with the cartilage issues. My Jojo had days where she was limping terribly, was heartbreaking, but has never looked back since I started her on glucosamine. Good luck best wishes, and stop cropping ears - The British Vets and your dogs will thank you. xxx

[@lizbetjoy]

@jmw61587 but if that were the case wouldn't they recommend it for all dogs who's ears flop?
