Dobberman is not a fighting breed. Wich dog was breed for bullfights ( fighting a real bull) yep. It wasnt the doberman. I thi k in a dog fight the bullterrier would eventualy be to mutch for the dobbers i owend two bultteriers. Ansd sad to say i have seen them forcevtime dogs twice there seize. they are highly social ans playfull especialy wiht litle children. For children i wont reconmrnd a dobberman. But as a guarddog i highly favor the dobberman
