Temperament and Behavior
Typically a pleasant, easygoing, and loving dog with an even temperament, it usually mingles with children and other animals, even with the non-canine pets in the house. Although obedient and cheerful, it may show signs of occasional stubbornness. Apart from being a good family pet, the doberman poodle mix does well as a watchdog, showing alertness and protecting its family, territory, and property. It remains cautious of danger, especially in the presence of strangers.
Care
Exercise
The doodleman pinscher can adapt to apartment living, provided it gets enough exercise. Because of its active and agile nature, it requires lots of physical activities to remain happy and fit. This dog has a natural fondness for long, regular leashed walks and interactive games. It should be allowed to play and run inside an average-sized fenced yard to keep away boredom.
Grooming
Care should be taken depending on its coat type. It should frequently be brushed to get rid of loose and dead fur. Long and curly fur is difficult to take care of and requires occasional professional clipping. A moist cloth can be used to keep the ears clean and free from infections. Bathing once in a while with gentle dog shampoos helps to maintain its coat luster.
Health Problems
Despite being commonly referred to as a hardy breed, it is known to suffer from few canine health issues including Von Willebrand’s Disease, Wobbler Syndrome, epilepsy, PRA, hip dysplasia, bloating, and some skin problems.
Training
Doodleman pinschers are not hard to manage, but may sometimes exhibit willful or adamant behavior towards training. Firm, patient, and consistent training without employing rough or harsh methods are required to deal with such unwanted behavior. The puppies should be trained to become obedient and sociable.
Feeding
Give it a nutritionally balanced good-quality dry kibble in amounts appropriate for its age and height. Whole grains like brown rice, vegetables like sweet potatoes, and raw meat such as lamb, beef, and chicken can be given. Safflower oil can be added to its diet to keep its coat shiny.
