I love the Doberman breed, like I said before, you get what you put into the dog. They seem to be naturally protective of their humans, thats why I say they need obedience training. That way you can call them off if they do something wrong.

My Pax was amazing, she took care of all of us, and she just was just naturally protective of me. I have seen some funny things that she has done, like one guy was walking across our yard rolling a wheelbar and she went after him, he said he kept turning in a circle and turning, and was about ready to just put the wheel bar over her, and she quit, I think she was just playing with him, because she knew him, but he was afraid of her.

Back then when I first got her, everybody thought the Doberman was the worst dog you could ever own, they said she will turn on you, just wait and see. She never, ever hurt any of us, or for that matter anybody else, she would grab a person by the hand if she thought they were reaching for me, she never brought blood. She chased a man back to his car, but she was just loping behind him, not really running, she did not trust him, and for good reason I found out later on.

She died of old age, I still miss her even now, and get misty about her, she was a good friend.

She even saved a baby pigs life, I thought it was dead, but she brought it back by licking it until the little guy got up, she done that several times.

I put a lot of time in that dog, If you want a good Dobie, then you want to put a lot of yourself in that dog, just make sure it is the good part of you, don't make it mean, or something to be feared for certain. Just train it to obey you, then it will narurally take care of you and you take care of it.
