Hi guys, I've been doing some research on Doberman breeds and I stumbled upon the term "warlock" Dobermans. From what I understand, these are Dobermans that have been intentionally bred to be larger and have more muscular bodies, which can sometimes result in health problems. I came across a 100 lbs Doberman male and I was wondering if this falls under the category of a "warlock" Doberman. I'm concerned about potential health issues as well as the overall well-being of the dog. Can anyone shed some light on this topic and provide me with some insight? Thank you.

Hello everyone, I have owned two Dobermans in the past, both of which were bred to be within the standard size range for the breed. While I was always enamored with the idea of having a larger, more muscular Doberman, I ultimately opted to go with the standard size for health and temperament reasons.
Both of my dogs lived long, healthy lives and never had any major health issues related to their size. They were both athletic and active, able to run and play without any breathing or joint problems. They also had the sweet, affectionate temperament that is characteristic of the Doberman breed.
Though I can't speak from personal experience on owning a "warlock" Doberman, I do caution those who are considering it to be aware of the potential health risks. While a larger, more muscular dog might look impressive, it could come at a great cost to the animal's health and well-being.
Ultimately, choosing a dog based on appearance alone is not a wise decision. The most important factors should be health, temperament, and finding a dog that fits well with your lifestyle and personality.
