Purchasing a Doberman

When considering the purchase of a Doberman Pinscher (or any other breed), a person deserves a dog that is healthy, attractive, mentally sound, functionally correct and has the best possible chance of providing years of companionship whether it be a dog for pet, show (conformation), to compete in dog performance events such as obedience, agility, flyball, tracking, Schutzhund, or to perform Search and Rescue or therapy work….anything.
Talk to breeders who are open and honest about health & temperament testing. Realize that all dogs do have problems – you want to deal with breeders who admit their problems, will discuss them and will be able to tell you how they are attempting to solve them.

All ethical and responsible breeders health test, temperament test, title their dogs, and aim to produce only the highest quality Dobermans which will better the gene pool. Responsible breeders are choosy about which dogs they breed – they study pedigrees for quality in conformation, health, longevity, temperament and working ability. They try to find the absolute best match for their female. They travel to great lengths to find the best male. It is rare that this best male will be living in their home or their neighborhood.

Breed Specific Legislation

For some time many Doberman owners have been aware of proposed breed bans, also known as BSL (Breed Specific Legislation), intending to take away their Dobermans. Breed bans mean that on a set date, the government will decide if a certain breed of dog or several breeds of dogs are no longer welcome in that country or state. The government will send Animal Control officers to go door to door and remove dogs living in the areas of the breed ban. They will then unjustly kill the dogs taken from their own homes, based on their looks alone.
Sound unbelievable? Sound like a direct violation of our Constitutional Rights? Sadly it has already become a reality in some parts of the United States.
Colorado and Iowa are two states that have counties that are discriminatory toward certain breeds by enacting Breed Specific Legislation. Each year, BSL bills are introduced in states and counties all across the United States. Each year, many responsible Doberman owners have to wonder if this will be the year the government will ban their wonderful dogs? The threat of BSL is real and should be taken seriously by everyone who owns and loves dogs. The fact that the government could dictate which dog breeds responsible citizens are allowed to own should concern everyone. This article will discuss nine reasons why breed bans are not effective legislation.
