Doctor's Advice
Dobies are natural guardians and protectors. They are highly intelligent and trainable. Early socialization is important and they thrive with close human companionship. Their most important medical concern is Dilated Cardiomyopathy which has been recorded in as many as 50% of Dobermans.
