I attribute that in part to the fact that he simply knows better, that fighting is not tolerated, and part to the fact that he comes from very even tempered lines.

I suppose there are Dobermans who work differently, but again I think that would be a dog specific, not breed specific thing. I've seen gender agression in anything from Pomeranians to GSDs. Thoughts?

My friend who has been breeding for roughly 30 years said never to have two or more males in the same house. Yes, it can work as it is in your case but that's not usually how it is. Sometimes the dogs will get a long for years and all of a sudden, they'll fight over something and it'll never be the same again. it's just not a risk you should take. I'm glad it's working for you though. What breeds are your other dogs though? Dobes will get along with many herding & sporting breeds a lot of times, but usually never with other working breeds or terriers. I'm just speaking from experience and what I've been told though. It's just not a risk I'd ever take.
