Ricky is a very handsome, red, neutered male Doberman. Ricky has had some obedience training, is smart as a whip and knows basic commands. Because he is so smart, he is a dog that would not work well a novice Doberman owner. Ricky plays well with some dogs given proper introductions. Ricky loves to play with his squeaky toys, has a very goofy, playful nature, but can be very mouthy. Ricky sometimes forgets how big he is when playing with humans and can get a little overly playful so a home without young children will be required. Ricky would also prefer a home with NO CATS and a fenced in yard. Ricky does have a very high prey drive and is on alert at all times when outdoors. Because of his high prey drive, Ricky will need a fenced yard! Ricky is neutered, micro-chipped and up to date on all vaccines. Ricky is looking for someone who can teach him everything he doesn't already know!
