Raising a Doberman in District of Columbia: four distinct seasons
Expect both hot summer afternoons and cold winter mornings. Dobermans handle moderate weather well but need protection at both extremes: shade and water in July, and a jacket on the coldest winter days. Plan exercise around the temperature and adjust indoor play when the weather turns.
