Hey everyone,
I am considering adopting a new puppy and I really like both red heelers and dobermans. I am curious if anyone has experience or knowledge about what a mix of these two breeds would look like? Would it have more of the red heeler's coat or the doberman's? And what about temperament and energy level? I am an active person and would love a pup that can keep up with me on hikes and runs. Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hi there!
I previously had a red heeler/doberman mix and they are fantastic companions! In terms of appearance, my pup had more of the red heeler's coat with the doberman's face structure. Her ears were floppy and pointy at the top, which was quite adorable. My dog had a lot of energy and was very intelligent, which made training a lot easier than some might think. She was also a fantastic running partner and could keep up with me for hours on end!
However, I do want to note that this breed mix can be quite protective, so socialization from an early age is very important to ensure they don't become overly aggressive towards strangers. Overall, I would highly recommend a red heeler/doberman mix to anyone looking for a loyal and active companion. They are great for people who love to be outdoors and want a dog that can keep up with them.
