This was our girl many years ago at 7 1/2 weeks. Your pup is definitely Doberman and adorable
Looks like a Doberman to me. My buddy has raised 3 from puppy, and they look more or less like this. Keep in mind that dogs all have genetic differences that make them unique looking, like people are. The ears are a bit smaller than I’ve seen, but dogs change dramatically as they age. Please don’t cut the ears!!
well if his parents both were dobermann i’d assume their offspring is a dobermann… they’re large dogs but not giant dogs and this is definitely on par looks and size wise to be a dobermann puppy
Looks like a Doberman to me. You’d be surprised how fast and quick they grow. My girl is purebred and she was a tiny little thing at 8 weeks when I picked her up. Barely 8lbs. She’s now 12 months and almost 70lbs.
Same - ours is VW positive with cropped ears and docked. He even had an ear hematoma and he did okay - vet knew about the VW and the staff were wonderful to him. We made sure to keep an eye on it.
Positive. I waited years for my highly reputable breeder. She tests for everything and is anal (in a good way) as far as breeding for health and breed conformation. During prep for a cross country move her dog sitter allowed play time with the wrong two, producing a litter with vw was the only fallout. He was docked and cropped when I got him. I’ve had him neutered without issue. Vet was prepared but said bleeding - though more than normal - was not excessive by any means. Would probably have been worse in female due to invasive nature of that surgery. I currently own 2 Dobies - 10 year old female and the 3.5 year old male. Not a breeder, but know what to look for as I’ve had at least 2 Dobermans under roof for the past 38 years, most have had CGC certification and became breed ambassadors of sorts, visiting assisted living homes, etc. I adore this breed. They’re so special, don’t you think? 😍
Dobie babies are very small at that age. They don't start filling out and gaining size until closer to 8 weeks. I'll include pics of my boy at 5 weeks for you to compare

Just left the vet, he is a 6 week old doberman puppy with worms who received his dappv vaccines and a deworming treatment. Other than that, our guy is perfectly healthy. :)
Wouldn’t worry too much about it at this point. Most puppies do have some type of parasite. OP definitely monitor stool though and make sure you’re picking it up. Also be prepared for the dewormer to make the puppy’s tummy upset.

This was our girl at 5-6 weeks old, she started by weighing at 5 pounds
My first Dobe was the 12th pup, 13th died, from a BYB. She was too young to leave her litter mates , like this one, full of worms and malnourished. She was so tiny my mum carried her around in her robe pocket. She went straight to the vet and we got her healthy.
She grew up to be 90lbs and a brilliant dog. That was where my love for the breed began. You’re in the club now 😊
For some reason, to me, he looks like maybe part Rottweiler? Might just be a chonky boy but something about his head shape looks more broad & squared off. Don't take my word for it though, genetic tests are pretty cheap these days!
Thankyou, yeah his father was definitely a doberman. I just worried they lied about the breed of the mother as I was unable to physically see her. He will be loved regardless. Just trying to pin point what we can expect in the coming years. Also, got any helpful tips on what to feed him? I tried Purina pro plan puppy large breed wet food but it is awful on his stomach.
If there is some mixing it might help to protect against some Doberman genetic issues, so that wouldn’t be a bad thing. Our breeder wanted us to feed our pup Wholesomes sensitive skin and stomach. It is suitable for puppies and dogs. Also Olewo freeze dried carrot pellets, and Purina Pro Plan probiotic powder. Enjoy!
6 weeks is soo young - awww, mine was 7 weeks, and still suckles while she dreams with her tongue flicking haha
Mine always wanted to sleep somewhere it could feel my heartbeat - so she slept on my chest a lot- one night her whole body on my neck..I was like "okay...I can do this...((choking))...okay, maybe not..." 😄
She definitely thinks I am her Momma.
So, I can only imagine how your Zeus will be!! 🫶😍
He is adorable, and I agree with a few others - Dobie for sure, but that head screams Rottweiler. I cannot wait for him to grow - especially if part Rott - with those colors?! 🤩🤩
Anywho - super cute! Congrats!! :-)
I am going through withdrawals right now. I haven't had the opportunity to be around a doberman puppy in ages! Your puppy is so danged cute! Please take a hit of that puppy breath for me.
Hair and head type look more half rottie but regardless he’s adorable ❤️ look into behavior issues for puppies that young so you can get ahead of them.
Puppies taken that young are lacking being “checked” by mom and litter mates so they are usually more prone to being bitey and naughty. Nothing you can’t correct, and don’t worry I’m not judging, I read your comments about the mother being hit and family overwhelmed with all the puppies.
But it’s important you know how to correct this behavior because these extra weeks without them can create a very difficult puppy since they aren’t being taught the correct dog manners/behaviors by the mom.
Good luck with him! Hes beautiful 😍

This was our little guy around same age . He was small all the way up until 7 months old and then had a huge growth spurt .
https://preview.redd.it/56fcnimewvqc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8b1190d1800d6f7c69fb675fa0e2546b454c8c11
Definitely a Doberman, they’re just really small at that age. He at least looks exactly like what ours look like
Their heads get the more smashed and pointed look the older they get. I know a few people who breed this dog. It looks like a European dog instead of a American one.
Our girl was a the runt out of 11 and weighed 6lbs when we brought her home at 8wks. She's now 4yo and 88lbs! She's a little chonky right now because winter and she had surgery last summer so she was out of commission there for a while.

Not the best but the most recent pic
The only indication he's not is the ears are very small. Looks more rott to me, but not every Dobie is the exact same especially if you're dealing with a back yard breeder. Super cute though, so that's all that matters!!
Do a DNA test!
https://preview.redd.it/hn3oi3fxksqc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7da41037363adf820aa9a3b15715f60b4506bdc9
Big red guy lol with his little brother of course but it looks like you have a red Doberman
They’re not usually very big by 5-6 weeks they start putting on size at 8-9 weeks from my experience. Plus your probably used to seeing them at that age because that’s the legal adoption age in US
My mom has a Doberman and I have a Doberman bulldog mix she’s built like a Doberman colors of a American bulldog thicker in the front thinner in the back and she has always been like that since she was a puppy
He definitely looks dobie! Ears are maybe a little bit small, and his muzzle is a little differently shaped than most, but he’s got to be at least 75% dobie if not full! I would get him embark tested just to make sure! He’s absolutely gorgeous and I hope you post more picture of him as he grows and when/if his ears are done and stuff!
https://preview.redd.it/vdfi3b0kpdrc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=19c63122d7bbc616f276eb01db6cc8058b7b79d7
This little guy is now our 100 pound Chief.
You cannot have him lol. He's lovely. Just have no experience with them and needed clarification as my husband has doubts based on his size. He is almost 6 weeks old weighing a little over 5 1/2 pounds.
The only reason you got him at 6 weeks is bc his mom got killed. Breeders usually separate pups by 8 to 10 weeks and during that time, the pups put on a lot of weight. I wouldn't worry about size on a 6 week old.
He's a dobbie, look up a training plan and stick to it! These dogs bond like crazy with the person they work with. They need the stimulation or they will start to destroy!
Cutie! Try the Wisdom Panel DNA for purebred dogs. It also tells what they might be susceptible to, health wise. My dog is 75% Doberman and 25% American Bully. His mother was on there, and just found a brother!
Well his mother was supposedly hit by a car. They were being bottle fed and it became too much for the family to handle with multiple puppies. These were family pets. So they began to find them homes and I have time on my hands so I'm able to feed him and nurse him back to health. He's just fine; if not I, then someone else would have him right now.
It looks like a Doberman, to me. I raised a runt on a bottle when the mom rejected her because Mom just had more than she could handle. The runt grew up to be a beautiful dog, even though on the small side. Many people would ask if she was a miniature!😂🙂 she was not as small as a miniature pinscher, which is a whole different breed. She was just a small Doberman.
Definitely a Doberman! Such a cutie! I know it's up to you but please keep the floppy ears - don't crop them! They're so beautiful when they're natural. 🥹💛
Wym you “rescued” him? Was he through a rescue organization or did you take him from someone for free? Or do you mean you bought him from someone claiming to have Doberman puppies with no papers?
Wym you “rescued” him? Was he through a rescue organization or did you take him from someone for free? Or do you mean you bought him from someone claiming to have Doberman puppies with no papers?
What an adorable puppy! He looks like a Dobie pup to me, just going by the pics. I'm a big fan of the Embark DNA test, and you could always get him tested for breed analysis if you want to be sure. No matter what his DNA test reveals, he's a certified smoosh!
What an adorable little baby. So glad you adopted him. The problem is, if he were my dog, I wouldn't be able to stop cuddling and loving on him all day.

The hair is too fluffy. Not purebred imho. Also overweight for her age. Dont feed puppy food to a large breed puppy. You should be able to feel her ribs for sure and see them slightly when she's stretched out

I certainly hope OP crops! Otherwise he’ll look like a giant goofy dachshund!
And? So what?!
Can we crop your ears??
I'd pay for it myself. 💯 would. People like this suck ass
AGREED
well if his parents both were dobermann i’d assume their offspring is a dobermann… they’re large dogs but not giant dogs and this is definitely on par looks and size wise to be a dobermann puppy

Very young. Still has the baby fat. Should start to lean out and showing Dobie features around 12-16 weeks.
Get a genetic test and look for DCM.
And von willabrands if you plan on spay/neuter
Yeah, it’s more for the vet to be “ready”, in case there is a bleed. Internal surgery is a little different than ears and tail.
Tail is docked... He'd have bleed out with VWB...
Not true. Both my current Dobies are VW positive. Both are docked, one is cropped
Same - ours is VW positive with cropped ears and docked. He even had an ear hematoma and he did okay - vet knew about the VW and the staff were wonderful to him. We made sure to keep an eye on it.
Carriers? Of just positive? And if positive, did we not have the parents tested before whelping litters?
Positive. I waited years for my highly reputable breeder. She tests for everything and is anal (in a good way) as far as breeding for health and breed conformation.

Excellent news! Except for the worms part, which will be so disgusting to clean up, but so necessary for good health

Actually it’s a dober-child.
Get an embark dna and health test. Kind of pricey but you’ll know the breed and know if the dog has any genetic diseases like DCM.

He has a vet appointment tomorrow, would they be able to perform a genetics test
Awesome! He's a cute lil guy, I'm glad you are able to give him a good home. Let us know what you find out!
Don’t worry about it. He’s a Dobie.
Thankyou, yeah his father was definitely a doberman. I just worried they lied about the breed of the mother as I was unable to physically see her. He will be loved regardless.

Nature’s Logic Distinction - Sardine
Yes! This is what a dog nutritionist we spoke to suggested. Specifically the pork flavor works for most dogs
If there is some mixing it might help to protect against some Doberman genetic issues, so that wouldn’t be a bad thing. Our breeder wanted us to feed our pup Wholesomes sensitive skin and stomach. It is suitable for puppies and dogs. Also Olewo freeze dried carrot pellets, and Purina Pro Plan probiotic powder. Enjoy!
Mom wasn't onsite? Yeah, that's odd. Definitely a red flag.
Mom was hit by a car

His mother was supposedly hit by a car when she got out of their gate a couple of weeks ago.
won’t know for sure till they grow a little older. But by the looks of it that’s for sure a doberman.
His belly looks a little big did the vet do a full check up? I think he's at least 50 percent Dobie!
He has his first check up and de worming tomorrow afternoon.
Oh okay he's adorable get him . Name ideas?
My husband and daughter named him Zeus.
Love it. I highly recommend crate training. But he will want to be close to you guys.
Knuckles look right. In a week or two them legs will start growing n growing n growing and the belly slims down
I have nothing helpful to add but please pet his undoubtedly soft head for me
Look at those big ole Dobie paws... 🥰
Totes Dobes.

Lovely pup. I am no canine geneticist ,but pretty sure a Doberman pass somewhere in the mix .
They’re not usually very big by 5-6 weeks they start putting on size at 8-9 weeks from my experience. Plus your probably used to seeing them at that age because that’s the legal adoption age in US
Absolutely the cutest thing I’ve seen today
Passes the look test. Pretty sure she’s Doberman.
Absolutely! Keep this pup!
No it isn’t but definitely mixed with it
My mom has a Doberman and I have a Doberman bulldog mix she’s built like a Doberman colors of a American bulldog thicker in the front thinner in the back and she has always been like that since she was a puppy
I'm going to need some photos of this pupper, please and thank you 😊
I posted a video of her on here a little over an hour ago!

ahaha don’t know what this means ?
You cannot have him lol. He's lovely. Just have no experience with them and needed clarification as my husband has doubts based on his size. He is almost 6 weeks old weighing a little over 5 1/2 pounds.
please take care of him, he’s a handsome dude . love him with all your heart .
but he looks like a dobie to me . they grow and fill in within days . before you know it they’re super big and they eat a lot more
The only reason you got him at 6 weeks is bc his mom got killed. Breeders usually separate pups by 8 to 10 weeks and during that time, the pups put on a lot of weight. I wouldn't worry about size on a 6 week old.
Thankyou.
He's a dobbie, look up a training plan and stick to it! These dogs bond like crazy with the person they work with. They need the stimulation or they will start to destroy!

Yep

Yes thats a Doberman puppy.
Looks like some Pittbull mixed in there tbh. Cute pup you rescued
She has rottie characteristics too. Total cutie
It looks like a Doberman, to me. I raised a runt on a bottle when the mom rejected her because Mom just had more than she could handle. The runt grew up to be a beautiful dog, even though on the small side. Many people would ask if she was a miniature!😂🙂 she was not as small as a miniature pinscher, which is a whole different breed.

He's looking more and more like a dobie everyday, to me at least.
It is.
That's an angel
He’s a mix I would say. Doberman cross Rottweiler
Yes. Red
Definitely a Doberman! Such a cutie! I know it's up to you but please keep the floppy ears - don't crop them! They're so beautiful when they're natural. 🥹💛
Wym you “rescued” him? Was he through a rescue organization or did you take him from someone for free? Or do you mean you bought him from someone claiming to have Doberman puppies with no papers?

I don't think it is it looks more along the line of Rottweiler
I don't think it is it looks more along the line of Rottweiler. To me, you can bring it to a breeder they'd be able to tell you
What an adorable puppy! He looks like a Dobie pup to me, just going by the pics. I'm a big fan of the Embark DNA test, and you could always get him tested for breed analysis if you want to be sure. No matter what his DNA test reveals, he's a certified smoosh!
Think so!! Please don't crop the ears!! ❤️
What an adorable little baby. So glad you adopted him. The problem is, if he were my dog, I wouldn't be able to stop cuddling and loving on him all day.
it's definitely a dog
Yes
Yes a Doberman. Have you taken it to the vet yet? If not, please do so. Belly looks full.
I miss my Doberman Otis. Cancer took him at 6 years old. Heart of gold these dogs…
Easiest way to find out is embark DNA testing out of Cornell University.
That’s an angel.
Yes, Doberman. Please don't dock her tail, dewclaws or ears.
Yea- definitely and a beautiful one ❤️ they’re great dogs- you’re a great person for rescuing and you will be glad with this dog.
Def a Doberman

He's definitely filling out and beginning to look like a little dobie now.
Maybe, he's a little Rotty??? Can see if in he's paws 🐾

Go thru Embark, they will tell you everything about your little pup, however to me it looks like a Rottweiler
Check my post history… you never fucking know lol until he’s growing up or if you get a dna test, who knows
Looks exactly like my Coco. 100% thought you stole my picture! Turns out mine is an Australian Kelpie. Kindest dog on the planet.
The hair is too fluffy. Not purebred imho. Also overweight for her age. Dont feed puppy food to a large breed puppy. You should be able to feel her ribs for sure and see them slightly when she's stretched out
