Vida will need an experienced Doberman owner only with a fenced yard! 5 year old Vida is an absolute perfect example of the Doberman breed. She is super high energy, protective, needy, playful, very vocal, needy....and did we say VERY energetic or VERY needy?? This girl is an absolute dream dog, very respectful of her humans wishes, perfect in the house, tells you when she needs to go "outside", sleeps quietly in her bed at night. But she is a needy girl, wants your attention and is vocal about her needs, desires and wants on the daily. Vida knows a ton of commands, is very well behaved, loves to play ball, go for walks and stays close even off leash, and does great at doggy daycare. Couch potato folks need not apply!!! She has been known to chase the resident chickens, ignored the cats for her ball, but we are not for sure she is ok with cats, but is easily called off and redirected when she is doing something shes not suppose to. Vida will at times guard her food and toys from other potential food mongers. No children due to her high energy. She is of exceptional intelligence, is a great watch dog, who listens and watches your face for every move, expression and command. She will need an equally minded intelligent master who can keep her busy, active and tire her out daily. Vida LOVES to be outdoors, go for walks and play ball. If you would do this all day she would be in heaven! Vida is fully vetted. We are seeking a home with Doberman Experience and fenced yard, no exceptions. Vida is AKC registered. If you feel you can give Vida the kind of home she needs, please apply. Vida is a cuddler for all you Dobe-cuddle-wanna-doers too:) PLEAsE read our adoption requirements before applying for any of our dogs.
