I take it you've met the dog, how does he like you, and how well do you know him? Plenty of dogs are rescued from shelters, and are bought and sold, at his age. It takes the dog a little time to adjust, and then they become part of the family.
Why are you describing the cropped ears, docked tail etc, and then saying it sounds good to you. Are you buying this dog because you love Dobermans, or because of what it looks like?
Who cares what other people think as far as how old the dog is, and why would that cross your mind?
What type of place do you live in, and where will the dog spend most of his time?
Do you work outside of the home, and if so, how many hours a day will this dog be left alone?
Have you owned a dog before? If so, what happened to it?
Do you like running and outdoor activity? Are you financially prepared to look after this dog, meaning feeding a good quality dog food, having the funds available for worming, immunizations, and unexpected medical crisis?
These are all things to think about before taking on a dog, and a Doberman is not a person's first dog, by any means.
Do you have any small children in the house, and has the dog been raised with children?

I don't think you should get this dog.
This is a lifetime commitment, and so far you havn't spoken at all about the dog, other than how his appearance sounds good to you, and will it make a difference if he's rehomed at this age.
