Hi - my first post, I am also in the process of getting a doberman puppy.
We think we have found the one we want, hopefully going to see it next weekend.

No one really answered the OP's original question....and I love to know your experiences.

I think our pup will be about 10weeks when we get it.
It will be our first pup.
Read a few nightmare stories about being very vocal as pups.
Any advice/tips etc would be appreciated. thanks
