Male or Female for your pet?

 
Do I want a Male or a Female for my pet??
 
 
While both the girls and the boys make very good companions. Which gender makes a better pet is completely dependent on the individual temperament of both the dogs and the owners.
It seems that while most females are sweet, they are friendly on their own terms, and tend to be moody. They also almost always tend to be the leader of the pack and do most of the disciplining within it. Females can also display such behaviors as marking their territory and humping. Of course this is not all females. My Heiress is like glued to my side and hangs on my every word and motion.
 
Neutered males on the other hand seem to have more of a steady cuddly goof-ball disposition getting along well with children and other dogs "Preferring females". 
Doberman males tend to be a bit more aggressive toward other males as they mature while wanting all the attention for them selves and maintaining that wonderful loving family orientated personality. Yes, there can be exceptions to the rules. However, given how much they adore there owners wanting all the attention from them for them selves it is better to only have 1 male Doberman in your house hold.
 
Now this does not go without saying that there are plenty of temperamental males and sweet, even tempered females out there, but as the whole it seems to be accurate.  Breed can also play a part. Some males of certain breeds are better pets, and females are better pets of other breeds.
 

Common health issues in Doberman Pinschers

Here is some information about the most common health issues in Doberman Pinschers. These health conditions have been identified in the Doberman Pinscher.
Items marked with asterisks (***) can be identified through diagnostic testing . However,
diagnostic tests are not currently available for all genetic health conditions listed at this time.

CARDIOMYOPATHY 

Is suspected to be an inherited disease in Dobermans. Research is in progress in to confirm if Cardio is genetic.The DPCA donates thousands of dollars each year toward heart studies for the Doberman Pinscher. An echocardiogram of the heart may confirm the disease but WILL NOT guarantee that the disease will not develop in the future. Ultra sounds of the heart my also be done as a visual aid in help with diagnosing the condition. When checking for any heart condition in your Doberman Pinsher please be sure to use a vet that is familiar with the disease. Preferable a canine heart specialist.

*** HIP DYSPLASIA

Is inherited. It may vary from slightly poor conformation to malformation of the hip joint allowing complete luxation of the femoral head.  Orthopedic Foundation for Animals  or OFA for short offers a list of any dogs that have neeb tested nad will list the test ratings for a small fee. Hips are rated as the floowing - excellent, good, fair or poor.

*** HYPOTHYROIDISM

Is possibly inherited and means that the thyroid gland is not producing enough hormone to adequately maintain the dog's metabolism. It is easily treated with thyroid replacement pills on a daily basis. Thyroid testing (T3, T4, TSH and autoantibodies) should be performed on an annual schedule. Finding autoantibodies to thyroglobulin (T4 autoantibodies) is an indication that the dog has "Hashimoto's Disease". Low thyroid dogs, manifested by a high TSH and a low T4, should be treated and monitored on a regular basis. When checking your Dobermans Thyroid remember what is normal of most breeds is probaly not so for you Doberman. Most Doberman who are labeled as NORMAL- LOW should be on thyroid medicine. Low thyroid results seems to be very common in Dobermans and you should check you pets thyroid yearly.

*** vWd (VON WILLEBRAND'S DISEASE) -is an autosomally (not sex linked) inherited bleeding disorder.
Dobermans carry the mildest form of vWD. vWD affects several breeds of dogs not just Doberman Pinschers. Once tested they are labeled vWD clear, carrier (inherited one copy of the disease gene), affected(inherited bothcopies of the disease gene), . There are 2 forms of tests that can be done. One is the eliza test which can be done threw Cornell University by a blood sample and a test threw a company ccalled VetGen by swabbing the ckeck for cell which locate the gene of vWD. The most reliable test is threw VetGen. However, I have found threw using both tests on the same dogs that both tests appear to be accurate. In Doberman Pinschers the most common is the carrier status. However, if you have an affected Doberman it does not mean you will have a dog that is a bleeder. Most vWD affect Dobermans live out their entire lives as normal happy health dogs. The test is done as a FYI, for breeding strategies and prior to surgery.

WOBBLER'S SYNDROME 

Is suspected to be an inherited condition in Dobermans. Dogs suffer from spinal cord compression caused by cervical vertebral instability or from a malformed spinal canal. Extreme symptoms are paralysis of the limbs (front, hind or all 4). Neck pain with extension and flexion may or may not be present. Surgical therapy is hotly debated and in some surgically treated cases, clinical recurrence has been identified.

*** PRA (PROGRESSIVE RETINAL ATROPHY) 

 Is an inherited condition in Dobermans. Clinically, visual acuity is diminished, first at dusk, later in daylight. The disease progresses over months or years, to complete blindness. A screening test is available and can be performed by a veterinary ophthalmologist. CERF (Canine Eye Registration Foundation) will certify eyes for 12 months from the date of evaluation.

ALBINISM 

 "white coated" and "white factored" Dobermans should NOT be bred. These dogs are *TYROSINASE POSITIVE ALBINOS*. In 1996, the AKC established a tracking system (the letter "Z" will be part of the registration number) allowing breeders to identify the normal colored Dobermans which may carry the albinistic gene. A list with all dogs tracing back to Shebah's (the first Albino Doberman registered) parents is available from the DPCA. All breeders should require an AKC certified pedigree with colors to check that "white coated" and "white factored" dogs are not present in the pedigree of the dog or bitch to be bred.

by most veterinary clinics. This is not a complete list. It is provided as a REFERENCE and not as a means of diagnosis or treatment.
