Meet Trooper Trooper is a 5–6 month old Doberman puppy with a big personality and an even bigger zest for life. This goofy, lovable boy is the definition of a typical young Dobie—curious, energetic, and always ready to turn everyday moments into an adventure. Like any puppy, Trooper is still learning the ropes. He’s currently working on his manners, basic training, and understanding what’s expected of him in a home. He’ll need a family that’s committed to continuing his training with patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. The good news? Dobermans are incredibly smart and eager to please, and Trooper is no exception—he’s a quick learner who just needs guidance.
