Our
dogs are very versatile and easy to train
Physically the dogs are very healthy, sound and a pleasure to
look at. Mentally they are well balanced and relaxed. They will
excell in obedience training, agility, police work, therapy work,
search and rescue, conformation or almost every working discipline.
The dobes are easy going
and are bred to live a long and problem free life. A Valley Gem
Dobermann is more then a pet. They are an intelligent, loyal family
companion.
Even though the Dobermann was originally bred
as a guardian and personal protector, the Doberman has an excellent
nose for tracking and has been used for capturing felons. For many
years the Doberman has been chosen to become an outstanding member
of Search and Rescue Teams.
A few owners have been surprised
by the pointing and retrieving instincts of the Dobe and have made
excellent hunting companions out of their pets. Dobes can also be
found herding sheep (one such Dobe even has a Herding Dog Certificate)
and bringing the cows in at milking time.
The Dobermanns loyalty, devotion, confidence
and high degree of trainability (in the right hands) made the
Doberman the dog of choice by the USMC during WWII; giving his
life for his country. In contrast, this same breed has been and
is still being used as a guide dog as well as an outstanding therapy
dog.
The Dobermann is one of the smartest dogs of dogdom.
He is known for his intelligence and his uncanny reasoning ability.
These qualities combined with the Dobe's deceptive power, exuberance
for life, and his simple yet complex nature and temperament require
extra time for early socialization, obedience training, and ample
exercise. The Dobermann is not recommended for dog owners of limited
time, energy, and experience.
On the other hand the Dobermann
is extremely affectionate and has been able to find his way into
the hearts of his owners, like no other breed, and many people are
life long devotes of this magnificent "Cadillac" of dogs.
