Nikolas was born to Quinn a purebred Doberman, and his daddy has been found to be through DNA testing Boxer and Australian Cattle dog. (see DNA test in pictures) This will make for a superior intelligent and very active dog that will need owners willing to give it a job or daily activity to keep its mind busy and energy released. Nikolas has has his 2nd set of Distemper vaccinations, Bordetella vaccination, is micro-chipped and wormed. He will be neutered by our vets at 6 months of age. Please apply if interested in adopting this sweet little guy! On the fence about a Doberman X?? You say you only want a PUREBRED Doberman?? Read on........ Experienced Doberman owners may smile at the thought of a Doberman being considered one of the purebred breed of dogs, considering the many breeds that went in to create a Doberman. The Doberman is a mixture of many dogs such as the Rottweilers, German pinschers, Greyhounds, Terriers, Great Danes and Beauceron breeds to name a few. This creation was the brainchild of Karl Doberman, a tax collector in East Germany who was faced with irate people not willing to pay taxes. The Doberman was created to be his protector and have the looks of powerful enforcer to the public who might potentially rob him while on his journeys collecting taxes. The first Dobermans were medium size, with furry long hair and big bones! In the 1900, the Greyhound was added to give the Doberman, sleeker lines and shorter hair. These dogs were originally bred to be an aggressive, one-man fighting dog. Not what people want today! Some mistaken folks are not in favor of Doberman mixes as they are under the impression, falsely, that the purebred strain gets diluted. What they do not understand is that the best dogs, even the purebred Dobermans, have been made through continuous mixtures in order to get the best attributes of the breeds. So if you are not bothered about pedigree blood lines but you are looking for Doberman that has good health, longevity, calm temperament and intelligence, you can try a known Doberman mix. Also consider the idea of the many inherited and inbred Doberman genetic diseases, such as Dilated Cardiomyopathy (60% of all purebred Dobermans will die of cardio disease), Von Willabrands Disease, Liver disease, Hypothyroidism, Wobblers, Alopecia, Retinol Atophy to name a few, being bred out of the Doberman mixes as they have been mixed by a healthier, sturdier and possibly a much more robust gene line. We believe Doberman mixes have many positive advantages over the "PUREBRED" Dobermans!
