Meet Ricky, a 2-year-old Doberman with a stunning blue coat and a heart full of love! Weighing in at 70 lbs, this energetic guy is a bundle of enthusiasm, ready to brighten up your home. Ricky is incredibly friendly and warms up quickly to new people, making him an affectionate companion who thrives on attention and petting.

Despite being a little underweight, Ricky is healthy and has a great appetite. He’s already adjusting well to crate training and has had only one accident in the house, showing impressive progress in house training. He’s picking up commands like “sit” and “lay down,” and with some consistency, he’ll be a well-mannered buddy in no time.

Ricky does have a playful side, especially when it comes to squirrels and other outdoor distractions, which means he’ll need some dedicated leash training. His high prey drive can make walks exciting, but with patience and practice, he can learn to focus better. A securely fenced yard (at least 5-6 feet high) is a must to keep this curious boy safe and sound.

Ideal for a home with older kids and a tolerant, similarly sized dog, Ricky is ready to fill your life with joy and laughter. If you’re looking for a loving and energetic companion who’s eager to please, Ricky could be your perfect match!
