Dobermans ARE wonderful dogs. I absolutely love them. My mom has a 95 pound red male and he is the BIGGEST baby in the world! He shivers when it's cold and has to be tucked in under the covers. When I dogsit him for my mom at my house, he whines until she comes to pick him up. All you have to do is look at him and he comes over to you and lays his big head in your lap until you scratch his ears. If you don't want to pet him and you are sitting with your feet up he will put his head next to your feet in hopes that you will wiggle them which in turn rubs his head . I just adore this dog. Whenever I see him and I get him all razzed up and he lets out this huge whine/growl/howl combination. It really pisses my mom off but OH WELL. Gotta talk to my 95 pound buddy! As for all of the other wonderful dogs of the world... I love them to. I have a very hard time picking a a favorite breed. Besides, sometimes mutts make the best dogs! My two girls are lab mixes and the best dogs to ever come into my life
