Dexter does not like my bed room, he sleep in his crate (open door) and sunbath in the kitchen/dining room...
Harley lived in my bed room when I was not in the house...
Dexter is more my boyfriend's dog. Harley was my shadow
NICE PUP I see his "German" head !!! He looks a lot like my male, Adonis -- We don't know either one of my Dobies' background, as both of them are Rescues, but a breeder I met said my male looks as if he may have imported German lineage (???)
My two had a somewhat rocky start in learning to get along well together -- They were each already full-grown when I got them & my female, Adobe, had been living alone with me for 9 months by the time I adopted my male ... I was being very careful with their "introduction" to life as fellow pack-mates, but I got lulled into thinking all was going well TOO SOON and foolishly let my guard down in supervising them, so they had a Brief Fight that caused a set-back in our progress
After that I doubled-down on DILIGENTLY applying my No Tolerance Policy for any kind of "pushiness or guardy" behavior by either dog toward the other -- It has been 1.5 years now with NO further incidents, but I continue to stay on top of everything between them, and it works for us
I am lucky to know both dogs back ground Dexter is a Canadian Show line and Lucifer blood line is from France all sport and IPO (both parents were imported as pups)

Dexter...had great manners until the puppy arrived.
Well, because Dobermans are typically quite Territorial in defending their own Home, then it was to be expected that your established Resident dog would NOT WELCOME any new canine onto your property "with open arms"...
Just in case anyone accidentally misunderstood my post Above...
My point was to highlight a "typical temperament trait of territoriality" in most Dobermans that ought to be taken into account & planned accordingly for in advance of adding a new dog to any pre-existing household with an already well-established Adult Dobie in longtime residence...
I in NO WAY at all meant to suggest, "Oh well, snarkiness toward a newcomer should be tolerated because that's just how Dobermans are" -- My true intention was to underscore: Forewarned Ought To Be Forearmed (anticipate what would be LIKELY behavior & take steps to PREVENT problems ahead of time by whatever proper means necessary) ... If I gave any other impression, it was inadvertent.

Puuuh! You hit exactly the point where I committed such a lot of mistakes and then thinking - what`s wrong with the dog? Prevention, prevention! And this means very good observation and timing. Timing = one of the keywords!
