Dobermans

I hear alot when it comes to Doberman's regarding they have so many health issues.I also hear they live only 6-7 years usually.Do they really only live thislong and are they really such health ridden dogs?

I've heard 7-10 years is average, but I do know they tend to suffer from heart problems, as do boxers. I read somewhere that those two breeds are actually the top breeds for heart-related problems.

There's another thread on dobermans in this section, it may be worth reading that - I haven't read it myself so I don't know if there will be anything of use to you.

I wonder if it because they are basically a mixed breed,mixed between rottweillers,greyhounds nad few others?
