These are the three most common types of breeders youre likely to find offering Dobermans for sale.
![]() There are also various Doberman colors available including black, red, blue, fawn, and white. But besides the cost of the puppy, there are many other costs you should expect in the first year of Doberman ownership. Thats why Ive worked out what I spent the first year of owning my Doberman, so you wont be caught off guard. In general, its good to be wary about the quality of dog you are getting if the price is unexpectedly low (anything under about 1000 should be a red flag). With purebred dog breeds, you typically get what you pay for. European Dobermans are even pricer and if theyre purchased in the United States, theyll typically cost upwards of 3000. This list will also help you spot the breeders that you should avoid. Breeder Reputation Some breeders are just better known for producing healthy, strong, and well cared for puppies. ![]() If you get your Dobie puppy from a breeder thats known far and wide, itll cost you more. Kennel Club Papers If the puppy itself is certified purebred by an accredited kennel club in your country (such as AKC in the United States), it will cost more. If only the parents are certified, it may cost slightly less. If theres no certification, the puppy will cost significantly less. Ear Cropping A Doberman can get their ears cropped between about 7 to 12 weeks of age. Most breeders wont separate a puppy from their mothers until at least 8 weeks of age. So many breeders will sell Doberman puppies with their ears already cropped. Tail Docking and Dew Claw Removal These are very common and almost all breeders will automatically do these things to their Doberman puppies unless a customer specifically requests not to. Vaccines Some breeders will offer Doberman puppies for sale only after they have had their first round of vaccines. Still common (but slightly less so), theyll come with their ears already cropped and their first round of vaccines completed. Its important you understand the differences between a reputable breeder and other common breeders of Doberman puppies. This is probably the biggest factor affecting the price of a puppy.
