Our 2nd Doberman male was in a 6ft high cage, he wanted out and jumped straight over the top, from a standing position, I saw him do it! Lol 😂

[@mjareacts2731]

When I was 11yrs old my grandmother gave me a male Doberman out of her litter, I named him Titan, and although I owned many dogs over my 50 years Titan was clearly the most intelligent of all of them. Titan lived for 17 years, well into my military career, and when it was his time to go he went to his favorite spot behind my shed, curled up into a ball and went to sleep for the last time.... Admittedly writing this just made me shed a few tears. Titan wasn't the first dog in my family, his grandfather Boss was, but Titan was the first dog that belonged to me, and he felt like one of my brothers more than just a pet. I have a portrait of Titan hanging in my living room today, and I will never forget him.

Got a Male doberman 2 years ago, my first dog while living out of family its been a total blessing. Dobermans are such an amazing breed, so much so about half a year ago i was gonna babysit another doberman for a week until they could find a forever home for her, Well… i ended up adopting her and now i have 2 dobermans both amazing

I'd say a coin toss with German Shepherds. For sure power and intimidation I'd probably say Rottweiler and I hate the looks of Rottweilers. Here's a question do Doberman's recreationaly bark or are they mostly pretty quiet. My neighbor had a Rottweiler that barked for about 10 hours a day. Also how fast does a dog need to be to scare someone out of your house or backyard?

My Lailah was 15 years old and mourning the passing of our Labrador Retriever, who sadly passes in a car accident. Dobermanns are excellent mothers, and she’d raised our Onyx as her own pup. I trekked to the local shelter and returned with a Pitbull/American Staffordshire (officially labeled as an American Staffordshire). She raised that pup as her own again. She taught him to be just as alert as she was, essentially he’s very much a slightly more laid-back Dobermann in his behaviour, Amstaffies are extremely empathetic and he senses that his adoptive Mom was getting creaky… so they’d team up. One night, they raised the alarm and when my dogs raise the alarm I don’t ask questions. I just open the door and let them do their job. Within minutes they returned and we all went to bed. The next morning we found proof there’d been an intruder: a brand new pair of jeans with the side seam ripped open cleanly from ankle to hip. Just a little bit of blood at the ankle. We called the police, who had a great laugh at the thought of some would-be burglar traipsing around the countryside in his boxers… The officers returned after their shift to give our dogs a treat. Worth noting: the entire yard was fenced off, the gate closed, signs posted saying ‘beware of the dog - enter at your own risk’ and the signs were well lit. My Dobermann Lailah has passed. My Amstaff (called Zen because nothing fazes him) is laying at my feet right now. His bum facing me, his nose facing the door. Staffies don’t typically do this but he was raised by a Dobermann. In turn, he raised my daughter’s Chihuahua. And yes, her bum is also always turned our way, her face out to guard us. None of her littermates do this. I like to think it’s behaviour that got handed down from dog to dog.

We had a Doberman when I was a child, he literally followed me everywhere growing up protecting me from my stupidity. He on occasion grabbed me and dragged me back from running across the road, wouldn’t let anyone near me if he didn’t know them. They are incredibly clever dogs that care little for anyone outside their pack, they will never seek a fuss from anyone outside their circle and care even less if outsiders try to fuss them. They are incredibly pack loyal and make fantastic nanny’s for your kids to grow up with.

[@mikemelina7395]

I've owned two Dobermans in my life, nothing and no one will ever love me the way my girl Nikki loved me. Everything you've said in every video of yours I watched is true, Doberman Pinschers are in a class by themselves. Like the Thoroughbred horse breed (I owned 2 of them as well), there's nothing another dog can do that the Doberman can't do with more class and style. Now I'm crying thinking about Nikki.

I owned a female Doberman “Sabrina” and loved her so much and she broke my heart. Sabrina was diagnosed with osteosarcoma and shared an amazing short six years with my son and I. ❤

We raised Dobermans when our kids were little 40+ years ago. They were raised with our two kids and they always had a pack of dobies around them for years. Since they were raised with little kids they loved all kids. We never had any problems with them. They were exceptionally protective of kids.

[@plively3736]

I raised Rottie's and they all loved kids and everyone unless you tried to hurt one of us. They also don't bark much and when my were barking one night my neighbor said that's strange those dogs never bark. He had left his garage open and someone took one of his radio's from the car and was trying to get the other. He chased him off that was in the early 90's.

Now I raise South African boerbels also great dogs. Worth noting about bigger dogs; I never let them out in yard with my kids when playmates were there. They loved kids, but the dogs want to play too and just too easy for them to knock a kid over and get sued by parents. Love the dogs too much to put them in harms way ❤

I had two when I grew up, one was hit by a big rig on the main road, the poor pup crawled home and died in my arms. I swore I never wanted another dog, the heartache was way too much. About two years after I found myself working at my uncle's farm where I spend most of my summers. Makes you strong and the neighbours daughter was cute. I was watching over some farm animals and all of a sudden I hear a commotion behind a shed. Tubbe was extremely underfed, had a thick heavy chain around his neck and wanted to be left alone. Got him some chicken pieces and gained his trust over the next days. We were scouring the papers for someone putting up an ad. Nothing, he came around and when I took of his chain I could honest to God hear him sigh. We had a great live, I was in my late teens and he followed me everywhere. I put him on a leash for show but I could just drop it, he would not run away and he would not attack anyone unless they came at him or me. I took him for training and we had fun. This breed of dogs is so amazingly smart, it is almost like a human. If he barked, there was something happening, he would never bark otherwise. He was sad when I had to go to work, locking myself into an office, how dare I? I had him for 11 years so he must have been 13 or 14 total. He hated going to the vet, but as long as I was there with him he powered through. Tubbe - he is still missed.

My favorite stop as a UPS guy was at a business who had a Doberman that stayed in the front office. 1st time I met him, he was very gentle, but checking me out. I sat down in the chair for a few minutes to let him check me out and give me the sniff test. 🤣 We were best buddies after that....He would come up to me and bury his head in my leg and stay right by me every time I came in the office.

[@discipleaj]

100% true. Good Doberman's do this. When I and my siblings were babies, our doberman would not let anyone come near us (apart from my mum and dad of course) without sniffing them over to check them out. He would always position himself between (one of) us and the midwife or whoever came over. My mum had to explain to them to take a seat and be calm whilst he sniffed them to check them out and when he had given them the 'clear' 😂, he would stay right by my mum and watch us and my mum continually until the midwife left lol. Such an amazing dog! Good boy, doing his job 😁

[@CRAIGJUDEHETZEL]

@@DobermanPlanet Another thing about our breed? They are so adaptive to new situations in life. Kaiser is coming from the country, where he was ONLY on a leash to visit the Vet. I had to move a few years ago, into an apartment complex that is 55+ and thank god, with the help of the Veteran's adminsitration, he lives here with me. There are a lot of Dogs here, a few bigger ones, but mostly the little yappy dogs. At 9 years old, Kaiser went from living in the country with no leash, to living in an apartment and having to be on a leash. I would have lived in my truck if I couldn't have taken him. Doberman was on the dangerous breed dogs list here, but the manager of this facility has come to love him as most others have. I have a girlfriend here, who has a pomeranian and she yaps at him all the time LMAO! But my girlfriend loves Kaiser so much and so goes out of her way for him? He started to accept both of them as part of the pack. It took WELL OVER A YEAR, but now? He looks forward to having my girl here and seems he was in need of some Woman love. LOL! I also wound up with a kitten who was abandoned outside here last year and Kaiser has not only adapted to her, protected her outside, before i took the kitten in. I have some amazing pictures. I finally took the kitten in and now she's been here for over a year. Kaiser can NOT be without me at all. He will scream in the apartment if I need to go somewhere without him. I had a total knee replacement Dec 1st and the Veteran administration was great with that too. They let me take Kaiser down to the new facility in Tulsa OK for all of my testing. Of course he couldn't be with me in the hosptital when I had my surgery and was there for a few days, but lucily he had bonded with my girlfriend who took great care of him back at the apartments we live at She said he would HOWL sadly every few hours, but I'd call from my cell phone and she'd put me on speaker and his little stubby tail would wag like he was a puppy again. I left the hostpital 3 days early to be with him. I was on a walker for over a month, but my girl would walk Kaiser. He'd do his business and pull her to comeback in to be with his Daddy. People ask me why I do all I do for him and get him top quality dog food ( I think it's so important) and spend so much money on him. I answer? Because he would do it for me. It's a Doberman thing, they don't understand. I was so sorry when you lost Milo. After my Kaiser crosses the rainbow bridge? I won't get another Doberman in this apartment complex, it's not ideal for them or another dog for that fact. I'm getting older, but will continue to watch your channel to get my Doberman Fix. People just can't understand, unless they have Doberman.

I take both into the nursing home i work at, they love the residents, and the residents love them back. They always ask how. The fur baby's are, and when I'm gonna bring them for another visit. Both are under a year old, and show no aggression. I bring them separately in a harnest leash to have control. Absolutely no issues. Just sharing a positive story.

The DPCA, Doberman Pinscher Club of America, had on their website the one word to best describe the breed. Most know about the loyalty being off the charts. Their word was “discerning”. The well bred ones (I’ve had 4) know the difference in a threat and a weird person who bears watching, but requires no intervention. They do NOT go off half-cocked. My best dog ever, a red male, had different barks for “look what I found,” “someone just drove up,” “you can walk down the road all you want, but just letting you know I’m here in case you decided to try to enter my property,” “calling to the rest of the pack,” and “REAL potential threat observed. Come out here, Daddy, and tell me what you think. Otherwise, I may need to intervene.”

@@briang813 Yes there have been differences. My males pushed more for dominance than my females have. My females have matured much faster. Both sexes bonded great with family and friends, but my females do not let me out of their sight. That’s hard to explain. My males were a little more aloof. They all have been trained the exact same way, but my females haven’t pushed as hard as my males. They all listened great, the males were more stubborn. They all cry and whimper when they see someone they love or when they recognize where we’re going in the car. There has been zero difference with males or females in that aspect. But my females have been easier. My females are every bit as protective as my males and protective of every family member. My males were actually more temperamental and if they didn’t like someone, they made no bones about it. My females were easier called off. My females haven’t played as rough with me as my males did. My males would catch me not watching as close and come barreling towards me and not let off as easy. My females will slow it down faster. That’s the differences I’ve seen. They all are great family pets, no matter their sex. Just for a first time owner, I personally would recommend a female. I have 2 females because my older female got along better with female dogs on a whole than she did a male. She would fight a male and was more tolerant of a female. So, every dog is different,

And my dog is with me 24-7; Just a sheer pleasure to be with all the time for so many reasons. Having owned other types of dogs I can attest to the fact that the Doberman is just so different and better from than all other breeds. I don't know how many dog owners. I have talked to who have owned Belgian melanois, German shepherds, rottweilers, pit bulls, boxers and a number of other breeds. And they always tell me the same thing; that their Doberman was the best dog they ever owned hands down. Take care and be well.

[@nikkidarkangelpnope8400]

When I was a very small child and my family lived in a remote rural area we had a Doberman. He was such a good dog.

[@lynn2613]

After years of Doberman Pinschers I respect my breed so much. Your statistics are correct! We actually clocked one of our Dobermans at 38 miles an hour. Dobermans are the closest breed to a human being.

[@monielpowell6086]

I’ve had 4 Dobies in my life. They are the sweetest lovable lap dogs in addition to their high intelligence. None better. “No Ka Oi”. 💕🙏💕

[@donquixote1502]

From my own experience as a former K-9 officer, after having been attacked and bitten by a Doberman, I can report that it hurts. 🤭

[@joergfro7149]

As a German ,attacked by a Doberman , i can say it´s not funny !

[@ChimaUwah]

I don't think any attack by a medium to large dog would be funny.

[@roderickechlin557]

They also have very sharp teeth. I went to take a Kleenex away from our dog. He skimmed his teeth over the top of my hand and it started to bleed. Ouch!

[@andreasmerkel5717]

I'm also a big Dobi fan, we had 3 of them, 2 females and 1 male. We got one of the females from an animal shelter. They found her half starved and with a large scar on her back. But she was the nicest and friendliest dog I've ever known. But she was BIG!! When she got back into shape, my hand couldn't even go halfway around her neck. Anyone who didn't know her or had unfriendly intentions would never have dared to go near her. But I'll be honest, I prefer a Doberman without cropped ears and with a tail, they have so much more expression.

[@radoslav2913]

The comparison with other breeds after every aspect you talk about is amazing and is both very informative and interesting. I am thinking of becoming a dog owner for the first time and so far no other breeds interests me as much as dobermans.

[@speedweid]

Remember you get what you put into a dog. They are incredibly needy in the beginning. Velcro puppy will be at your side every step of the way. Most loyal and loving animal you will own…

[@michaelshelley1289]

i almost wish my baby girl would have been a little more "mean" she was a big baby and never met a stranger....she loved EVERYONE!!!! I am glad of that and she had protected me a couple times when she thought she needed to but she was a sweetheart....you would have been more afraid of a small poodle than you would have her

[@marievel-m4o]

Dóbermans are not only beautiful, they are loyal to their families…best dogs ever❤❤❤

[@jabouletfiction8059]

I had a male European Doberman 20 years ago and he was the sweetest dog ever, but he never allowed anybody but family into the yard. It took me 20 years to get another dog and it's a fearless male Doberdor. He's a handful but worth it. Love Dobermans, super intelligent and family velcro dogs.

[@MimikyuFan89]

One of the reasons why my family has our Doberman Josie. Because this has become a dangerous world & a Doberman will let us know if someone's come & are scarier than a gun (we have them, but a Doberman is faster to get to intruders). Josie has also proven her loyalty & bravery. She'll be ready if an intruder comes.

[@TravelingDogQira]

Rescued my first dobie mix when she was 13 weeks with 3 infections, and she is an absolute LOVE I am a Doberman person for life now

[@lilylotus17]

Best breed ever. I grew up in a house with dobermans. My parents owned 5. 1 was trained for protection, the other agility and show dogs. All with red coats. I'll forever have them in my heart. Rocky Stone, Candy Stone, Nala Stone, Summer Stone and Spring Stone 😢❤

[@user-de9ln9ko3w]

This is my second Doberman. Respect Honor Dedication Loyalty Alert Prideful (The Clydesdale Trott) Patrolling constantly Ferociously Protective Territorial and soo affectionate to my family and I. I love my pal with all my heart. Enough said...

[@Fridayyet]

My hisband and I have rescued several dobes. I got sick and now am a double amputee. My dobe is always next to me. Without being trained, she helps me with my daily life. If I dont know you and you come near me, all I can say "God help you". I love my dobes❤❤❤

[@martinezdavid-p9f]

I think the Doberman pincher is one of the most royal looking breeds of dogs I think they look very impressive with the ears cropped I prefer black over red I think the size of the head makes a good handsome looking dog someday I would love to get a top breed dog of great royalty love this breed .

[@stevew3718]

That has to be one of the best intro's to the doberman pincher that I have seen. Great job

[@edengarden6811]

I love this channel! Me and my husband are in the process of getting a doberman puppy. We have met the breeder, now waiting for the female to get into heath.. So we have to wait for about 5 months. The breeder will know the pups very well so he will pick the pup for us. Female or male, we rather have a male but we want the dog who fits with our energy the best. With ears and tail! ❤ We can't wait and hope all the pups will be very healthy for years to come. This is our first doberman! 🎉❤

[@wendyhutchinson5820]

These dogs have a badass esthetic right from the get go, along with a refined sophistication that most other breeds can’t match. 😍

[@KillaCommieFerMommie]

Handsome, smart, fierce, loyal.... What's not to like?

[@DobermanPlanet]

Absolutely!!

[@floydb9100]

that growl 0:45

[@adrinarodriguez8182]

Looking into getting a personal protection dog in a year or two, and your videos have certified that I have made the right decision in choosing to go with a Doberman. It really comes down to what you said: This is the only breed created for the sole purpose of personal protection!

[@ryanthompson8029]

If you want a personal protection you will need to train the dog in personal protection as no matter what the breed it will not do a thing...family trained personal dogs in personal protection and property protection trust me I know what im talking about, for those who honestly think just because they have a doberman gsd rottweiler etc will naturally protect them well they can think again.

[@samanthamcgahan2066]

I had friends who had two dobermans ... their house was broken into and the next morning one burglar was found trapped on top of the fridge with one dog guarding, while the other was sitting in the garden with his leg in the other dogs' jaws!!

[@spacehamsterZH]

We had a doberman at my family's house for about a week once - she immediately understood that it was her temporary home, was totally friendly to the other dogs and just generally the sweetest thing you could imagine, just wanted to cuddle all day. Not leash trained very well by the real owners though, and holy cow, she was strong.

[@thesavagebull33]

I really like the new higher quality videos you make, Ive been following your videos and they just make me fall in love more and more with the breed. Hopefully I can own my first doberman once i get situated in my new house, and get more finnancially stable

[@DobermanPlanet]

Thanks so much! Love hearing specific comments/compliments like this! Keep us posted on your journey!

[@anthonylefebvre6217]

thank you very much for your videos on our Loves of Dobermann! I am from the North of France and I am very happy to have 3 Dobermanns at home! They are GOLD dogs! Thanks for your advice ! Anthony

[@ednancompany9101]

I’m new to this breed and I can’t see him do anything bad, but I have had a bruised lip, several black eyes, plenty of scratches all over my body and even several bites… all during playing… he is so sweet to us… but I can just imagine if he is trying to protect us how the other person will end up. He just stares at people, he doesn’t bark when we’re out and about and I think that scares people more!👀. He is an amazing dog and he is so smart, he has me well trained….. I’m the mama but he does listen to my husband even though my hubby really doesn’t give him lots of attention. Great Breed for sure!

[@geoffgreen2105]

My first house was in a rough neighborhood, and after we had a break-in, I got over my years-long fear of dogs and we got a Doberman. We had a 6 foot tall fence in the back yard, and an amazing number of creepers discovered over the years that they COULD in fact jump that high when my boy Dresden was bearing down on them!

[@ZZ_Trop]

A long time ago when I was in my teens I was doing garden labor for my mom (as punishment) and her friend brought his Doberman. I was terrified of these dogs but my god how wrong I was. Me and that dobey were best friends in minutes, running and playing all over the yard. I didn't want the dog to go!

[@davewallace5008]

I own two staffies and they are the most loving dogs I have ever had. Most dogs are loving but they differ in their character, staffies are mad, they run around and around bumping into stuff, knocking things over as they play, but at the same time they are very loyal and any delivery guy comes to the house knows they are just behind the door..lol I was thinking of a doberman pincer before I got my staffies but they were so expensive I decided against it, although lovely dogs, here in the UK they go for mega bucks.

[@WarriorsPhoto]

Walter, gerat video. Your info about these dogs is incredible. I've enjoyed my interactions with Dobermans. I'll keep getting them as pets.

[@DobermanPlanet]

So glad you love Dobermans as much as we do, Ricky! Thanks so much for your compliments to the channel as well!

[@IlistentotheRadioRadioStereo]

Our female doberman Mila died last year after 12 good years. So a few weeks ago we decided to get our second Doberman so we got one of her great great nephews from the same blood line. He is a year and a half old and as soon as he came to our lives he fit in like a glove. He patrols the house and backyard and barks when he needs to but in the house he is very polite, quiet and extremely loving. I have 3 young children and he loves to play with them but he is very careful around them. He is Amazing and its only been a few weeks!!!

[@bl1429]

I've always had German Shepards until I got my first Doberman.... Fell in love with the breed. My male stood at 3 1/2 feet tall, and the female was a blue, a foot smaller. I'll never own another breed..............

[@richardclark9609]

I had 2 Dobermans. 1 my female I got when she was a puppy. I picked her out of 40 puppies who were all let loose in a closed room at the same time. I chose Princess who was one of the smaller puppies because she chose me and my girlfriend. She would do anything to be right in our faces licking. lol. She would jump over or go under the other puppies to be that one. She was the one who wanted us so badly. Now by picking her out of the whole bunch by letting the dog pick us. We got a dog who wanted nothing more than to please us. She learned things so fast. Now I also do not believe in hitting or scaring a dog to train them. The reward tactic is the best way. They learn very quickly what bad dog and good dog means. I never had a dog that was so smart. Princess new what I wanted before I did. lol Now Princess full grown was 65 pounds and extremely quick. I also got a Male that was 120 pounds and 2 yrs old. He was mistreated. He was hit and beat as he would drop to the ground if you raised your hand like you were going to hit him. I get upset when I see a Dog do that. I am glad that I got to give him a good loving home where he would never be hit again. Ripper turned out to be a good dog. He was not an Aggressive Dog as he would lick you to death. lol

[@allfair4759]

My father had a Dobermann kennel in Germany for over 30 years......I also had a Dobermann...when he died.....I didn't want a dog until I retired......today I have a 35 kg Leavitt Bulldog and I can say that he can absolutely keep up with a Doberman (not with the top speed but guaranteed on the first 50m and that's what matters and he also jumps 2m high) His character is just a lot cooler than a Dobi....,Thank you Mr. Leavitt for this trusty Super Bulldog.

[@livingnow7017]

I adopted 2 amazing dobies from a tescue, both females about thecsame age, 5 uears old! The first one was such an angel...she was the most gentle sweet dobie! Loved my grandchildren and my orher dog, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel! I think she would have let an intruder in and said...please pet me! And my newest rescue girl...well she is sweet and loves my grandchildren! But is way more proactive of me, while still being sweet! I love Doberman's! ❤😊

[@NomadDogAdventures]

Glad to see to see one Tigris in the video. I’ve been debating on ordering a tactical harness for my GSD. This was the brand I had in mind.

[@JoseFuentes-fn3dl]

My dobey Raven passed away last year. Best dog ever! A gentle giant. So smart. She ran so fast too. I will get another dobey next year.

[@Justins00ss]

Absolutely love my 50/50 European American Dobie Prince. He's a big 120lb mush of a dog. Absolutely loves everyone but can definitely tell when someone shows up that we are leary about. Super loyal and gentle with our 2 boys and loves running around our 6 acre farm.

Best channel for Doberman content 🏆

[@AydenKnorretjeProductions]

I ❤ Doberman. My cousin used to have a Doberman, one of the most gentle dogs ever.

[@alphadog2133]

My Dobermans are very fond of my new niece and keep her in their sight whenever she comes around. Truly the best choice for Personal Protection Dogs

[@DobermanPlanet]

So cool that you know she will be protected whenever they're around!

Love the channel.glad to see you still love Dobermans. You helped me pick the best dog ive ever had in 2019

Excellent vidéo John, thank you for your work

[@DobermanPlanet]

You're welcome, Cathy!! So glad you enjoyed this video!

[@theflyingdutchguy9870]

one thing that really stops people in their tracks when confronted by a doberman is the intimidation factor. causing people to not even try most of the time

[@bitemyshinnymetalass1569]

Just realized that. Of all the dog attacks I've heard about just this year alone. Just about none or zero mention were about the doberman. I'm impressed.😊

[@territn8871]

Watching this makes me long for another Doberman. What a protector they are. Wonderful breed. I wonder why police departments never use them, or at least the departments in my area. They all use Belgian Malinois here in northeast Tennessee. Before Belgian Malinois, they used German Shepherds.

[@christina9926]

I've had Doberman my entire life. I work in LE, and am a single mother. I have never worried about leaving my house, not once. I used to joke and say I'd love to see what happens if someone ever tried to break in. I wish LE agencies would utilize the breed, but sadly, I only know of one that does. Ours has every kind of Shepard and a Lab. Maybe one day... Thanks for the video.

[@artcook1976]

Loved my dobies had five , never locked anything had nothing bothered , very well trained , i used them to pull me on my bicycle ,faster that the car in town ,loved every one 😊

[@MrBatraaf]

So beautiful, like an ideal model of what a dog is supposed to look like.

[@niciast9459]

My first dog was a Doberman, I loved him so much❤️

[@ericbrown7297]

Lost my 10 year old Doberman in February this year, still have her sister (they were a litter apart), who will be 12 next week, she really misses her little sister and is now only eating one a meal a day. We have tried all her favourite foods but to no avail. We have had her to the vets twice now but they cannot find anything wrong with her. I think she is just grieving. It is heartbreaking to watch. In March we got a new 12 week old pup and although she plays with her and let’s her sleep on her beside her she is still not eating. Hopefully she will regain her appetite soon.

[@ramonhollins5470]

I have a European Doberman. He 2 years and the first one I've had. Love the breed and they are so protective and very smart.

[@jeanf8998]

Thanks so much! Our boy is very handsome and smart!

[@Niniene]

Most of these apply to my Dobbie. She is insanely athletic and has taken my hat off my head (for reasons. Not sure what those reasons are.) She is not particularly brave, though. With that said, she will face down her fears to stand near me, as she is crazy loyal. But she clearly would very much prefer not to stand down a scary, scary garbage truck (her #1 fear). She also might not be the scariest guard dog as she loves people. But she does love me best. If someone so much as makes a rude remark towards me, she will get close to me and growl a bit.

[@soleknight3212]

For some reason I used to hate Dobermans (the film "Boys From Brazil" probably had something to do with it), and thought they looked ugly...but in the last couple of days I've finally seen just how majestic, beautiful and super-hero badass they actually are!

[@chrisjones2569]

I had one when i was a kid my dad got her as an adult when I was 8. I loved her she was really protective of me.

[@ThaiSoup39]

One big difference is biting style: Most dogs bite and hold. Dobermans instead Bite-Release-Bite-Release-Bite-Release, causing massive damage in the process.

[@charliemarkovic4301]

I had a dobie as a farm dog 2000 - 2009. He was a great dog. He loved the horses and would take naps in the field with them. He was boss of the cattle and absolute demon to people who tried poaching my mango trees in summer. A good foot warmer on a cold night too. Sadly he died from the bite of an Eastern Brown snake. I was just too far from a vet to save him.

[@ahill4642]

aww shit, about the snake. 😞 Picturing him guarding the mangoes is the sweetest thing I’ve heard in a long time. ☺️ Thanks for sharing your story.

[@DavidJohnson-kz5vr]

Nice video and OneTigris makes a quality product. Perfect fit for a Doberman.

[@jennief7114]

Wow, I didn't realize how much they look like a grey hound until you pointed out! Amazing!

[@gus1537]

May have mentioned, when I jumped up on a fallen tree, in the National Forest, up jumped a huge black bear, we were about 2-3ft apart face to face, he was about to hit me with a right cross, huge claws and opened his mouth showing me his teeth, boy talk about smell. instantly he got a look of fear in his eyes and started to turn, my male dobie and my female shephard were instantly there, Samson flew in the air, hit him full force just as Nicky she came over the tree and also hit him, now heading down the canyon, with 2 really vicious friends of mine, intent on protecting me, I watched them chase him up the other side of the canyon, they were gone 45 min. time to get my gun from the truck, they came back, Sam had blood all over his mouth, but not his. in 1969, my high school friend Roy Ducate and his girlfriend were mauled an she eaten alive Roy 600 stiches, same night another girl was eaten in Glacier Park, see Glacier night of the Grizzlies, PBS doc. here on the tube. I know my dogs saved me from the fight of my life.........When God made dobermans he broke the mold. you are doing a great job on Doberman Planet, I watch them all, I have had 5 in my 75yrs. 🐻🐕‍🦺🐕‍🦺👍

[@scottgriffin2005]

I a red Doberman when I was 18 she was a great running buddy. She was a very loyal and loved everyone, most people were intimidated by her. I really needed a shock collar for her because she would not return reliably when off leash. She was a great car rider though.

[@jenniferseals3642]

I have my first dobie now. He is just over a year old, friendly, playful. If I had a break in, he would tell them where my jewelry is, help carry the stuff to car, hold the door for them, ask them if they need a cold beer. My parrot is more scary than my dobie. So my dobie did not get the memo he is for protection.
