About Chipa

Chipa is a high-energy three-year-old male Doberman who thrives with an experienced handler. He needs both mental and physical activity—think scent work, obedience or trick training, and regular hikes or bike rides. Chipa is food motivated and has a silly, sweet side, but also brings some spirited challenge. He prefers homes without cats, children, or small dogs. He can get along with female dogs his size, though his play style is rough and he will guard food and toys. Crate training is in place, he's improving on leash, and he is learning to focus for longer. Chipa has some suspicion toward strangers, and if left unsupervised for long, he may become destructive. He loves water and could be a fun swimming companion. He’s a great fit for someone ready to invest time and energy into an active, intelligent dog. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
