I had a couple dobies when I was a teen because I was home alot by myself and my parents got me the dogs for protection. The female was a good protector and a great dog. The male was just a big red happy klutz. My son had a female dobie as well for almost two years, She was so good. You couldnt asked for a better dog. But unfortunately she died of a spider bite/ We live out near the woods. Hope this helps.

DOBIES are GREAT DOGS.
