Heyo! My Dobe is almost 2 so I figured I’d share my experience too!

- As doberbutts said, they’re an indoor dog 100%! My boy sleeps in bed w me, but has free range to his crate and several other beds in my large room.

- I’ve been told Enzo is a little unusual for a Dobe- he L O V E S strangers, ESPECIALLY anyone coming to the house who shows him love. He’s the dog who stares down people at the pet store silently demanding they pet him. If they do, they get that sweet curl and a good lean from him. Though I’ve noticed as he’s matured, at a little over 1.5 years, he’s starting to not want the attention of all strangers (thankfully) though he’s still insanely friendly and does ask for brief affection from most people I talk to. That’s not to say he hasn’t been stand offish/growly/barky at strangers too! I’ve had ~4-5 people Enzo just did NOT like the feel of, on walks and in pet stores, and has started growling/barking at them without being interacted with.

- I got him from a (basically) BYB breeder, paid about $1500.

- He’s great with small dogs and cats, though he’s a little too enthusiastic to play w cats (much to their dismay, we’re having to work on ignoring them bc he likes to play bow/bark at them LOL). Guinea pigs and reptiles he’s fine with, but squirrels, rabbits, moles etc? Will kill if he gets ahold of them.

okay to people with or who have had dobermans:

-where would they spend the night (outside in a dog house, inside, inside in a kennel, on the bed, that sort of thing)

-how were they with strangers (both people you don’t know on the street and people that you’re friends with but they haven’t met yet coming to your house)

-how did you get yours (pound, breeder, etc) and what was the general cost if you remember

-were they good around smaller animals (like,, cats and maybe a small-to-med sized dog)

might think up of more later stay tuned folks

i understand the sentiment with the whole “people prefer dogs over cats because cats have boundaries” thing but dogs have boundaries too. i feel like people need to stop acting like dogs don’t also have boundaries

Ghost of the Blackland Prairie

The blackland prairie ecoregion of Texas was once home to jaguars. The last known jaguar in Texas was killed in the 1940s.

I like to hope that one day the jaguars can return.

I got an ask and Tumblr ate it but I'll answer it here.

The dog world gets so much easier when you do not give a fuck.

Im a different person than I was almost ten years ago when I started this blog but I'm a better dog owner now that I don't give a fuck and concern myself solely what is right for my dogs and not what some internet nobody thinks.

What food do you feed? Don't care.

How do you train? I. Don't. Care.

How often do you exercise and intensely? Who the fuck cares????

Do you treat your dog like ppl? .....

Do you have titles? ROFL BBY I DONT CARE

Do you feed ur dog ppl food? Who the fuck cares cuz it's not me?

Do u let ur dogs play with cardboard and paper towel rolls instead of expensive dog toys? Yeh RECYCLING

CoNtRoVeRsIaL dog gear? Bruh I just bought a flexi lead I don't give a fuck

Dogs knocking over every pole and can't heel? Don't care bby u look cute doin it.

Ur dog chubby? I have no fucks to give.

Y'all out here caring so much about what other people are doing and how they are doing it when they only thing you should be concerned with is your own damn dog.

U have a goldendoodle or some other sort of mixed designer something? Great glad u love ur dog and r happy with it.

Meet your dogs needs, treat them like a friend, be sensitive to their well being and respect them as sentient beings.

The only time I'll have an issue is animal neglect/abuse. I'll grab a torch then but I don't care anymore.

Food has no morality, we're all in a pandini, sometimes we get fat, we all mentally ill and dog world elitism is real.

You doing your best? Yes? Great.
