Dobermann

Dobie Lover...Dobermans are easy to train. In fact I've read that the primary reason that Dobermans are used by law enforcement is because of their quickness to learn more so than their ability to bite. However, as someone else previously mentioned, consistency is the key in training a Dobe.

If and when you are allowed to adopt a Doberman you should know that Dobermans DEMAND your attention. They want lovin all of the time!

However, you should be aware of the problems that will surface once you adopt a Doberman:

Say goodbye to sleeping comfortably in your bed.
Say goodbye to sitting comfortably on your couch
Say goodbye to ever being bored

One last thing, your local pizza delivery guy will never forget delivering to your house...their bark is intimidating!

:D

DoberMom, at least in Columbus the only breed currently considered viscious is the Pit Bull. Don't know if that is true for the entire state or not.

I've not ever been in the presence of a Pit Bull. However, my experience is that dogs are dogs and it is how they are trained and treated that makes them the way they are. Is it unfair to say all Pit Bulls are viscious?

What I do think is intolerable is that some humans treat dogs in such a dastardly way. I've heard horror stories about Doberman "owners" doing things to their dogs to make them more viscious. It is very disturbing.

I have a fenced in backyard. It isn't there to keep my 2 Dobes in my yard. It is there to keep people out of my yard. I had a Columbus Policeman tell me that Dobermans are great dogs to steal by the people who have fighting dogs. They steal the dogs and let their Pit Bulls train on them. Can you imagine going up to a Doberman Pinscher and stealing it? That takes some real brains!

Labelling a particular breed as viscious is easy to do. Does that solve any problems? Probably not. Why is it that politicians just never seem to understand what the real problems are? Oh well, I guess that question belongs in a different forum.

she is a black and tan....always has been my favorite. I hope to post some pics soon.

I don't have a Dobermann, but I love them! Besides the fact that one of them nearly bit off my hand from giving him a shot once, they are such great dogs! Besides, doesn't every dog hate the vet? ;)

Qunicey is lovely, what a shiny coat! All the dog's posted are just beautiful.
