How to raise Doberman puppies:

1. From the time they are just weaned to twelve weeks old, they should be fed four times a day. His breakfast and lunch should contain an appropriate amount of puppy nutrition supplement, add a cup of hot water or broth, mixed with a quarter pound of fresh beef or a quarter of canned beef. This amount is only an approximate feeding amount. You can add more beef and less nutritional additives. A one-part mixture of distilled milk and warm water should be fed in the evening and before going to bed.

2. When the puppies grow up, between three months and six months, change the feeding frequency to three times a day, and change the two times of milk to one time of meat and nutritional supplements. If the puppy happily licks the plate clean and doesn't gain too much weight, you know you're feeding just the right amount. If he starts to look a little chubby, cut back on the amount he's feeding; you don't want your dog to be too fat. At the same time: Being overweight will overburden the dog’s limbs and muscles, causing saggy stripes, so overfeeding must be avoided.

3. If the puppy has eaten all the food but still looks very thin, it is necessary to increase the amount of food. The puppy may not have received enough nutrition. After the puppy is six months old, it can be fed once a day plus a snack, or once in the morning and once in the evening. If you only feed once a day, the main meal should be in the early afternoon. Don’t forget to check your puppy for parasites regularly and stay vigilant at all times.

4. Every puppy is an individual and needs careful care. Remember to have clean drinking water ready for your dog at all times.

5. Doberman’s skin diseases are very common. You can also know this by reading other people’s posts and exchanges. Skin diseases are mainly fungi and mites. What needs to be noted is that the breeding environment should be dry, clean and disinfected frequently. Regular exposure to the sun is also good for your skin. If you have skin diseases, treat these two types. Treatment methods and medications vary from person to person.

6. Doberman Pinschers are also prone to heart disease due to genetic relationships. It usually starts at the age of 6 or 7 and some die very young. However, the normal lifespan of a Doberman is more than ten years, so don’t worry too much.

7. Doberman does not need much exercise when he is a child because he is still growing. After 6 or 7 months, start to lengthen the time and increase the amount of exercise. But it should be noted that the ground that is too hard is actually not very good for its bones. For example, if it is a cement floor, try not to jump as much as possible. Grass is better.

8. Because the Doberman hair is relatively short, it is more sensitive to cold. If you live in the north, don't put it outside in winter, and be sure to keep it warm. Dobermans have a more active personality and have short hair, so joint cysts and effusion are also common diseases. Since collisions and eating are common, you need to pay more attention to these.

9. Another important issue is ear binding. Doberman’s ears are his dignity and will accompany him.Let it live its life. If you decide to have your Doberman's ears cropped, be sure to do a good job of tying them over the next few months, don't be lazy. Remove and retie after 3-5 days. In winter, it can be removed and re-tied after 5-7 days. The rest time is about two to three hours and does not stay overnight. After removing the ear rod, clean the ear canal and ears with saline or alcohol.
