At Treasure Seeker Dobermans, we are committed to producing quality Dobermans, suitable for conformation, obedience, agility, and the working sports. Our dogs are not couch potatoes ... they are high-drive dogs with true Doberman temperament. They will need owners who are committed to training and exercising them regularly and learning how to use their inborn drives to shape outstanding show and performance companions. If you are seeking a beautiful performance dog, one of our dogs or puppies could be the right fit for you.

Sherman is a lovely, intact, four-year-old male Doberman who is looking for his forever home due to a change in his family's circumstances. If I did not already have a male dog with whom I am competing, I would keep Sherman for myself. His ideal home will be active in dog sports and committed to providing him with plenty of exercise and opportunities to use his genetic working ability.
Sherman is well socialized, uncomplicated, energetic and playful with nice toy/tug and ball drive.
He is friendly with friendly humans.
He is accepting of female dogs, although he might be a nuisance to a very timid female. Not friendly to other male dogs in the home, but not reactive in a controlled situation (i.e. leash/show/competition).
Sherman has been successfully shown in AKC shows and has earned 13 points with 2 majors. He needs just 2 more points and is currently out with his dog show handler to finish his championship.
Sherman recently completed the requirements for the United Doberman Club Championship, having passed his UDC Adult Temperament Test, earned a performance title, and earned three required Challenge Certificates under three different judges.
He has earned his BH-VT (Companion Dog) title and has been started in IGP (schutzhund). He shows good drives and trainability and with the right owner/handler/trainer, can be a successful competitor to the IGP3 at least at a club level. He is a nice tracker, he has no trained retrieve at this time, and he has been started in the 5 to 6 blind run to a hold and bark. He has not been worked in schutzhund for about one year.
He has partial health testing at this time. https://ofa.org/advanced-search/?appnum=2578681
Sherman has not been raised around children. He is generally social with anyone he meets, but I can make no representation about his suitability for a family with small children.
Sherman has very high prey drive, and I cannot recommend him for homes with small dogs, cats, or other potential "prey" animals.
Sherman will run a fence line and engage in fence fighting with another receptive dog if given access.
Sherman is very athletic, and he is capable of jumping very high. He has never scaled a fence, but he can easily clear a four-foot fence, so a six-foot fence minimum is required.
Sherman is NOT a free dog, but his price is negotiable depending upon the conditions of sale. A working/show home will be given higher priority than a pet home. He will be sold with a written contract.
