I am a proud owner of a beautiful doberman-poodle mix. I have had many dogs in my time, (pure breeds,etc). She is the most intelligent dog I have ever owned, everyone comments on her behavior and attentiveness. Yes she was the product of a misshap, but the first time I saw this puppy I knew I wanted her, and I did not make a mistake!!
My pure breeds always ended up with some sort of health problems, (costly). So give a dog a good home no matter what
they are!!! I you truely are a dog lover!!!

I own what I *think* is a Doberman-Beagle mix. I chanced upon her at an adoption event and she was due to be put down later that day. Of course I had to adopt her! The shelter had no idea about her heritage (they said “terrier mix”, yeah right!) and so I took my Daisy to a dog trainer friend of mine. My friend glanced at Daisy’s muzzle, ears, legs, coat, tail, and a few other common features before quickly saying “Go home and google Beagleman.” Never would I have approached a breeder and requested such a hybrid (firm believer in adoption, here), but knowing that my lovely Daisy is part Doberman answers so many questions about her personality that until recently, I found odd. And I think she’s the most beautiful dog ever. Her body is lean and athletic like a Doberman, she has the gorgeous black coat with brown underside, and her tail is that of an undocked Doberman’s tail, but her muzzle, eyes, and size is definitely Beagle. She’s really a great companion, even though she likes to think she’s a lapdog. At 35 pounds, she’s definitely not!

Back yard breeders. Period. Too many abused, unwanted dogs already. Breed to maintain the integrity of the breed by the breed standard , do genetic and health testing, be an advocate for responsible breeding, Or DONT DO IT AT ALL/ Seriously! Why would anyone want to change the Doberman anyway? To me there are dogs and their are Dobes period. Why disgrace and ruin a good thing. Makes no sense at all. People are stupid who do this and who buy them. It is all about getting attention for themselves. “Look what I have”, “Isnt it cool”. Now I don’t mean this to be disrespectful to those who rescue those poor hybrid dogs, because there will be plenty in rescue, but seriously people. Research the breed you are interested in. Go to shows and observe and ask questions, research health issues and then decide to by a well bred dog with a good healthy pedigree. Dont create a dog. Believe me there is a dog out there that will fit with your personality and family. No question you will find it if you do it correctly. Don’t create more dogs and populate that world with animals who are overpopulated and discarded.

Mixed breeds (mutts) will always be around, whether by accident or on purpose. Thankfully there are plenty of people who appreciate these dogs for their qualities and will give them homes. It is a shame that some people think these dogs are superior and will pay lots of money for designer dogs who will produce pups of any variety of mixture between the two parents. Even more of a shame is the “breeders” who charge ridiculous prices for these mutts and claim they are somehow superior. It has taken many generations to produce our current breeds, and they produce predictable offspring, allowing breeders to control temperment and conformation, and hopefully the propensity for diseases associated with some breeds. The designer dogs will take generationns to claim the same. Do we really need more dog breeds?

Gwen, have you heard of DNA testing for dogs? This could give you some insight. Just be aware the tests are not 100 percent accurate if your dog has a real mixture of breeds in it or if it has some rare breed in it’s makeup it can cause errors in reporting. There are a few companies that do this testing, maybe try a couple of companies out of curiousity.

I recently adopted a 9 month old crossbreed who when she was smaller, I thought was a whippet crossbreed. However, within a few weeks of an adequate diet, she’s grown to the extent that she is larger (but not yet heavier) than my collie x lab bitch and collie x male and I suspect that she might be a Doberman crossbreed. Please would someone could enlighten me if I were to provide pictures?

Had a Doberman Weimeraner cross. Garth. Both were from broadchested wide headed parents. Looked like a hunting doberman with tail and ears intact. Smartest dog in the world. Good judge of charector. life of the party. Fully trained in doggy marshal arts. Other than eating a few porcupines this dog had it all. Ive seen Dobermans built like rotties at a farm in NY. They were awesome. I’d like to cross him with a non-skinny wemie….
