The Dobermans lifespan is about 9. The adult phase of their life is from one year old until the dog reaches about 7. These years are when the Doberman is most active, and is doing most of the family activities, show events such as Obedience and Agility and just enjoying life with his people. The training and Obedience is done and life is good.
