How Much Do Dobermans REALLY Shed & How to Reduce It

[@jesnartindogan8588]

I dont have dobermans, I just love watching your vids😍

[@jesnartindogan8588]

@X.X.X.ZOLOMAN bro please buy a doberman for me also, I dont have money coz I'm still studying haha

[@harryharefoot3058]

Exactly the same with me 😂

[@ahmnotyourboy]

Likewise ! My best friend is getting a doberman and I can't wait

[@aidenlopez530]

Don’t have one either but soon- to- be on July 🤞🤞🤞

[@17Fidelis75]

I'm a dog groomer and I absolutely LOVE these gloves for de-shedding short coated dogs!! They are absolutely amazing

[@cg1492]

After owning both a German Shepherd and a Husky which are heavy shedders, I had to chuckle watching this. I'm looking forward to getting a Dobermann.

[@marcoconut1745]

Can you PLEASE do a video on “how to keep your Doberman mentally stimulated?” I am looking into getting a doberman but I am worried I won’t know exactly how to keep them properly stimulated since they’re such smart dogs and I don’t want him/her to get bored or destructive

[@babytrenton]

I recently purchase a bungee type cord that you hang from a tree in the backyard. At the end is a heavy thick knotted rope. My 10 month old Doberman absolutely loves breaks of jumping, pulling etc. I keep it to just 15 minutes which is a GREAT workout. I also play Hide N Seek inside the house and he loves to grab a toy and for me to chase him thru every room of the house until he collapses from all the excitement. I always take him to Home Depot and Pet Smart like twice a week. I take him and run errands to get gas or ATM, etc. He loves watching people, etc. I hide HIGH_END treats in the grass and ask Hannibal to "FIND IT" and he learns to use his God given instinct. I step on each treat beforehand to put my scent on it

[@donf9925]

I loved my Dalmation, and have been thinking of getting a Doberman for years - low shedding is definitely a plus - however, please know that Dalmations are NOT low shedding dogs - they shed like crazy - I can personally attest to this with 13 years of experience with mine!

[@bawby06]

Yes! My Blue Doberman had a very coarse coat ( the fur that she did have) and would always poke into your foot or sneak into your socks. My black/rust puppy is so soft and actually sheds less than my blue.

[@alphadog5996]

Great video. I'm sorry I missed the last one. I like how Arlo's turning out.

[@jeng3947]

We had been doing some homework on different dog breeds for my teenage daughter. She’ll be independent & moving out on her own in the coming years. Want her to have a companion that will help her feel safe. Thanks to your videos & all the info you give we’ve decided on a dobie.

[@jennygoss4575]

I'm a 19 y/o girl and I have a doberman. Love her so much. I really hope yall did decide on a doberman, I don't regret it.

[@michellehopkins9306]

After having Belgian Shepherds for over 20 years and now going back to Dobermans, they hardly shed at all, in comparison. Grooming gloves are fantastic, I spray a little conditioning spray before hand, he smells pretty after. Will try the baby wipes too. Thank you for all your videos. Michelle and Porter from Australia

[@Tyllure]

Your Channel is a savior for preparing for my new fawn pup 😭😭😭🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@ramirez6239]

I noticed my black rust sheds more then my red but is just seasonal for both. Everyday is not like crazzy shedding at all and i love it. Very low shedding unless seasonal changes which happens for all dogs prepareng their skin for the correct weather.

[@barrington5438]

He’s so playful. Love to see it

[@pirateelfqt92]

I used to work at a grooming salon. Hair splinters are very real.

[@Priscapup]

He’s looking lovely! I believe my boy Tony is about the same age as Arlo. He was 7 months on the 11th, a big, beautiful red boy. Love the gloves! I’ve been using a horse brush, going to grab a pair of those gloves. We just had a vet visit, Tony is 82 lbs, 25”. He is now bigger than my 3yo female. Thank you for your videos, they are the best!

[@worldexclusive5909]

I want to buy Doberman and whenever watching your video give me it's positive

[@hotdiggitydogs782]

Our female Doberman rescue's healthy weight is 95 lbs. She is so tall and muscular! I didn't know until watching your videos that Dobermans are sometimes bred with Great Danes.

[@ronnie696]

Very very good video, thanks for all the information you given, great job.

[@loop1800mickey]

Arlo is growing up beautiful A real blessing in my life to have 4 reds 1976 -2020 .

[@alj.granda8252]

Yep, regular brushing 2x/week (Furminator, grooming gloves), bathing (baby, oatmeal shampoo) and wipe down regularly, healthy diet (Omega oils, RAW diet or high quality kibble) and exercise. Also, don't stress your dog out, that can lead to shedding. Yes, their hairs can be prickly similar to Shar Pei. Ive seen this depends on the litter. Vacuum 2x/week.

[@BlushnBlue]

Just purchased the gloves and they should be here tomorrow. Thank you for the tip.

[@BeauOnTheGo_DC]

Re: the hairs sticking in feet - All of my Boxers (5 over 20 years) had barbed hairs that every so often would stick in the bottom of our feet (it maybe happened 4 times over that 20 years but was so odd it sticks in memory). Off to buy those gloves right now for my last Boxer (and they will come in handy for my future Doberman).

[@brianowens1002]

JavaAndJunket.com more common that people realize. Barbers deal with hair splinters as well.

[@tyleradams5682]

My wife and I have 2 reds, Frankie and Freyja, and we have both experienced multiple times the Doberman splinters. I had one in my index finger 2 nights ago. It’s not a thing that happens often, but they do happen. We will be Dobie owners for life. It’s been a while since we had watched one of your videos, but Arlo has gotten so big, he is gorgeous. Thanks for all the info.

[@wesk.2924]

And unrefined, organic coconut oil is even better! Can't believe how our 2 Euro Dobermanns, Vader and Leia, love it, and their coats are amazing.

[@DobermanPlanet]

Yeah I've heard a lot of people talk about coconut oil also but I haven't tried it myself. I'll give your comment a like here so it gets a bit more attention because you aren't alone in that recommendation!

[@lisad2701]

I agree. My doberman had terribly dry skin and coconut oil completely eliminated the problem in 1 week!

[@emilykovacs029]

Beautiful dog names. I just had a litter last april and named the pups from Star Wars, one pup was Vader and one was and Leia.

[@angelphillips1849]

Doberman Planet how about wild salmon oil?

[@M1991ff]

I use olive oil. Should I add coconut oil or substitute it?

[@kiva3131]

Sorry if i am approaching this the wrong way but i have 2 questions that i really need to ask you, 1. What dry dog food do u recommend? 2. When do u suggest getting a female doberman spayed ? Thank you

Arlo is growing into such a stunning boy! Not that he hasn't been gorgeous this whole time! Such a beautiful pup ❤

[@nataliechristensen420]

I have a Doberman husky mix and I hardly see her shed. She sheds but not much. I’m just glad that her hair isn’t coarse like the Doberman it’s softer like the husky

[@The_GoofyGamer925]

Arlo's coat is so beautiful 😍

[@6Deep6]

Yeah, I've had the same issue with the pointy hairs sticking in my feet. Regarding the oil, try virgin cold pressed hemp seed oil. Perfect natural ratio of omegas.

[@DobermanPlanet]

Interesting! Thanks for the tip... just curious, is your Dobie a black and rust or another color? I've heard of the pointy hair issue being more common in other colors.

[@6Deep6]

@@DobermanPlanet Black and tan.

[@suzannethepatriot8049]

I liked the olive oil idea. Had never heard of that. The minimal shedding is just one of the reasons we went with a Doberman. I never notice the shedding until I broom the kitchen floor and see some when I sweep up. It is at that point when I say....oh....I guess Moses does shed fur. Such clean dogs!!!

[@DobermanPlanet]

Yeah they really are super clean dogs. Chalk one up for the Dobies! Another one of their major benefits. Thanks for checking out my video Suzanne, I always appreciate your comments!!

[@eljesmuts9159]

You should write a book about everything you've learned about dobermans + tricks and skills

[@donnakeeley7924]

Really waiting on finding a young Doberman soon. I miss them so much! If you are giving your Dobie a bath every 3 weeks or so and use regular conditioner on their hair, they shed less and their hair is super soft.

[@elizabethgibson2150]

Your dog is ADORABLE ❤

[@frenchie1132]

My girl sheds quite a lot especially after the winter going into spring, on the tile it is no problem but on light clothes and sometimes on the bed sheets (when she has been naughty jumping on the bed) after drying my wash on the line I will put it in the dryer for 5 minutes and I can see a difference, plus the dryer's filter does fill up with her hair.

[@mitchwilliams6504]

I have given my dog salmon oil with his breakfast since he was a puppy. Also I was told that using horse brushes and accessories are great for Dobermans as their coats are similar. I use an Oster brand brush and he really likes it.

[@DobermanPlanet]

Not a bad tip! Thank you. I haven't looked into horse grooming brushes.

[@vanessagonzalez7862]

Lol I use the exact same gloves for my min pin! It's actually the only type of brush that he will tolerate since he has sensitive skin.

[@DobermanPlanet]

Very cool to hear! So glad the gloves are working for you. Yeah, they're pretty gentle gloves. I also don't press hard at all. Just not needed. Such thin coats. Anyway thank you so much for the comment! :-)

I say this in every video but Arlo is growing sooo fast🥰. Good video! 👏🏼

[@DobermanPlanet]

Thank you! I know... it's still amazing to me how fast he's growing. It HAS to be uncomfortable to grow that quick!

[@beil3960]

I'm not sure if others have thought of this, but to get my dobe's shedded hair out of the furniture, I would use the heavy rubber dish washing gloves and run my hands over the furniture, like you did Arlo, I've even used the rubber grooming gloves to do that and it seemed to work for me. My first dobe had the real sharp hair, but just along his back, he leaned against my sister one day and she thought I poked her with a needle, that's how sharp his hair was, the one thing that fixed the hair, was, I was given a pekingese rescue dog for my birthday, and she would walk up and down his body and give him a bath, that was the only thing that worked, I had tried oatmeal shampoos and everything I could think of, but nothing worked. He was a red dobe, maybe that had something to do with his hair feeling so sharp. I no longer have anymore dobes, they've all crossed the rainbow bridge, but I get my doberman fix watching your channel, Arlo is amazing, you're doing a fantastic job with him. I look forward to seeing him grow and thrive. Thanks for sharing.

[@DobermanPlanet]

Thank you so much for this comment! It does seem to me that more owners of red Dobie have the pointy hair issues. So that definitely might be part of it. I like your rubber glove idea!

[@yovonne7]

Yep. I've had those dog hair "splinters" in my feet. I got it with my boxer too. It's the stiff short hairs and pointed ends that make it easier to dig into the skin on the bottom of our feet. My dobie sheds quite a bit in the summer but moderately throughout the year. He seems to have sensitive skin too so maybe that's why it's a bit more than other dobers? 🤷🏼‍♀ Regardless I'm constantly sweeping and vacuuming!

[@michaeltomlinson7245]

Arlo is amazing ! His coat looks fantastic, so shiny. Top job again mate !

[@frankkruger8981]

Hello John! Just wanted you to know I have started following you and your stunning Doberman pup. I have truly enjoyed all your videos, please keep’em coming!!!

[@Gunzee]

I use a zoom groom for about 20 minutes three times a week. Mine does shed quite a lot. The other thing about regular body scrubs is you see how much oils and dirt are on the coat. Within two weeks of bathing the zoom is really grey with oil & dead skin. He loves his body rubs, soon as he sees the zoom groom he'll stand in front of me. Then sit on the mat as I brush his hair up & come back for more.

[@GreenMan-em2jd]

Instead of olive oil have you tried fish oil? That’s what I generally use. It’s the same omega fatty acids but from what I was told the fish oil provides more and is absorbed better. My vet recommended it for my bulldog and his coat shines like never before

[@ms.pirate]

Awwww, he acts like a puppy 💖

[@codysiebold9790]

[@Shmarg1]

Hi John, Shushan here, came back to this video to rewatch and learn more. A small question - do you trim your dog’s hair? If yes, any recommendation on tools, techniques? An updated video with more on doberman coat I think would be helpful for many - trimming hair, other systematic care tips (like cleaning eyes, teeth, ears, butt 😂, paws, nose & paw moisturizers, etc etc), small details that will be useful on daily basis, but people don’t think of initially. I have checked out the article, and that was very useful. Just a video recommendation that I think would be a much needed one. Thanks so much! You’re creating awesome content 🤎

[@alissakain9302]

Mr. Fancypants😂😂😂 Thank you for the awesome suggestions! They’re extremely helpful!

If my dog doesn’t have any issues per say with his skin can I still use a oatmeal shampoo is that still ok or is that only a recommendation for dogs with bad skin irritation also I have a black & tan dobe 2 years old now

I get what we call "hair slivers" about once a month in my foot! Apparently my other family members who have short-haired dogs get them too. Never knew it was a thing.

[@Docash91]

Hey while you were brushing Arlo I noticed him trying to just nibble on ur hand and you having to get the chew toy for him. I personally don’t have a Doberman but I like ur content and some of it really works on my Goldie. My question is that even my dog tries to “bite” me when I brush him and I swear I’m being very gentle. Sometimes he just “holds” my hand in his mouth. I dnt really like tht and I would like to know if there is a way to make him stop doing tht. And yea I tried the chew toy but he still seems to be going for my hand.

My last dog was a lab. So it pretty much sounds like Dobermans are 100% hypoallergenic and never EVER shed 🤣. Also - wanted to give folks a “heads up” - they may want to check out Avoderm dog food. Same lab had allergies and sensitive skin and would get “hot spots”. I tried many different brands and Avoderm ended up being my final choice for her whole life. Also fed it to my other 2 dogs with really impressive results. Vet recommended for healthy skin and coat - esp for short-haired dogs with dry or sensitive skin (I’m not a rep, just a happy customer!). I also noticed this brand recommended on a few of the Doberman sites you recommend.

[@michaelfloccari7709]

Please do a video on raw feeding versus kibble for dobermans

[@loijanbokijan433]

Raw meat based diet is INCOMPARABLY healthier than even the best kibble you can find. ALL pet foods, no matter how ''good'' or expensive they are, are thermally processed, extruded, dehydrated or dried, have A TON of unnecessary and unhealthy additives that dogs DO NOT NEED, have grains, have plants and vegetables, have meat flour and meat meals, have processed oils and fats and so on and so forth. Feeding raw is just INCOMPARABLY healthier than feeding kibble, any kibble. There are A TON, A BILLION health benefits to feeding your dog raw, because raw meat and bones are what is biologically appropriate for your dog (and cats) to eat - not thermally processed foods. Some guy (or girl) just posted a comment about exactly this so you can check that comment out, he/she wrote all the health benefits of feeding your dog with biologically appropriate diet. I was also about to write about feeding raw because all coat issues as well as shedding can be 50% gone by just feeding your dog with raw diet. theres no need for shampoos, brushes, food additives and whatnot.
