I absolutey think thet are great dogs. My sister has a male was just shy of a year old and he is the biggest lover I have ever met. They get a bad rep because of they do look intimidating and most people get them for all the wrong reasons which is horrible. Any dog can be vicious if you treat them badly. But all in all I love them!!! I've got 2 dobies so I know all about bad reps and sometimes I get upset when people treat them as though they are living man eaters or something!!
