Monkey is the perfect blend of sweet, gentle, and delightfully silly. She’s a classic Velcro Doberman who wants to be close to her people at all times and would happily volunteer to share your bed if you let her. She loves giving nose kisses and enjoys lounging on the couch just as much as she enjoys playtime. Monkey thrives on being part of her family’s daily activities.
This smart girl learns quickly and is already making progress on her manners. She does have a talent for counter surfing if opportunity strikes, but she’s improving with guidance. Monkey has never been kenneled because her foster home has someone around most of the time, and she has done very well with that arrangement.
Monkey is young and full of energy, so she will need daily exercise, including walks and yard time to run and play. Squeaky toys beware — Monkey considers them her personal mission and will happily dismantle them if given the chance! She has done well on the few walks she has experienced so far, especially considering her limited prior training, and with continued structure and consistency she is going to make an incredible companion.
She enjoys children and has been friendly and interested in them, though due to her enthusiasm and energy level, kids ages 5 and up would be the best fit. Monkey currently lives with a small dog and tolerates them but does not fully respect their size and may accidentally run them over during play. She would do best with a confident, middle-aged canine companion who can help guide her, build her confidence, and keep her in check during playtime. She has not been cat tested, but she would likely chase a cat just for the fun of it.
Monkey is still learning and has lots of youthful energy, so she would do best in a home where someone has the time and dedication to continue her training and help her succeed. A very busy household may not be the ideal fit for what she needs at this stage.
Monkey is also a great little watchdog who will alert you when something or someone is outside but responds well to correction.
If you are looking for a happy, energetic, affectionate Doberman with a big personality, Monkey may be your perfect match. With structure, training, and lots of love, this sweet girl is going to blossom into an amazing lifelong companion.
