I am 79yr old woman always active in isolated situations including long distance driving. I carried a handgun in CA when car jacking was high. As a fairly strong person I studied the breed I would be most comfortable owning. All protection dog breeds are high energy. They will sleep on the couch and don’t even need a backyard BUT they can’t be stuck in the confined spaces without being seriously harmed. They need challenges because they are very intelligent and will always try to dominate their “master” no matter how old the they get. ❤ Concern: The European Breed is more expensive, weighs more and is more affected to Doberman Heart Disease which causes early death and can be inherited. I like the Doberman American they live longer and maybe it’s just me, they are more healthy (IMO). Be sure any Doberman you purchase has a recent heart test. Learn what the trainer expects from your dog. You don’t need follow up training if you train the Doberman every time you walk it. 😂And when you are sitting on the couch enjoying a good show and you see the line of hair that follows your Doberman’s spine he is telling you something isn’t right on the ranch. He’ll give you the look right into your eyes - human could be a zombie out there.😂

My beautiful lady. The owner of the big heart and tender feelings. Three years ago, I was writing a research paper on the use of dogs in war, especially in snowy mountainous areas. On KZbin, I stumbled upon an episode of yours that talked about Huskies. And another episode about Caucasian dogs. After that, I started following all your episodes on your program with passion, love and admiration. Then my fellow officers started following the episodes of your program. We were sitting in amazement and astonishment at your great and wonderful courage as you talked to the Norwegian wolves. And how they love you intensely and are very jealous of you. You are, with complete honesty and absolute frankness, a wonderful and very great person in your noble goals. I wish you success, goodness and everlasting happiness. My regards.

[@nekite1]

As far as I am concerned, a properly trained dog that is able to distinguish between non-threatening and threatening situations is a must. I do think a lot of dogs pick up on human body language very well and training them to respond appropriately is a must. Unfortunately, we have a lot of irresponsible dog-owners here in the UK who choose unsuitable dog breeds without a clue as how to train and socialise their dogs. From a personal perspective, I had a father who treated dogs badly, but those same dogs were happy when they were with myself and my siblings, because they knew we only wanted to have fun with them and love them. I have had a few dogs since then, but now I am a pensioner and cannot afford to look after a dog now, which makes me sad. They give you so much in return for very little.

It's easy when they're bred specifically for that job & already have the natural instincts and desire.. also helps when the breeder knows what they're doing & can pick out the pups that will mature the best for training/work & which are best suited for a normal, companion type home or for someone who just wants a show dog..

I've had MANY Dobermans. For those who think they need to go this far with personal protection training, it is important to understand that it is the natural instinct of the Doberman as a working dog to be "poised-at the-ready" at all times. It is innate. That being said, they DO require an active human companion who is willing to invest time and energy into exercise, training and socialization. Regarding the "cropped" ears: those are NEVER going away no matter what side of the argument one is on. A truly OUTSTANDING, magnificent canine. They are goofy, loving, protective, funny, and GENTLE toward anyone their human deems acceptable. They are the "town mayor" or "force recon" as is (or if) necessary in any given situation. 🎯

[@Blacksheep12267]

What they are not is aggressive. They seem to know people like a Collie knows sheep. Very clear/good communication skills. They strike that here I am pose and lock eyes The glossy coat with the rippling muscles and ears perched high. (Prefer cropped but natural is OK). They snap to commands like a US Marine even if it comes from a toddler. Then there's that Dobe loope up to asses a situation. Then they act all all silly and happy " wow glad that wasn't a bad guy HUG ME!".

Hello, thank you so much for sharing this awesome video of Creed and his owner Leleshwa. Creed is very inspiring, and I loved watching him and his owner so much! You asked what we audience think of a Doberman (or any protective guard dog) getting into trouble after he or her attacks someone who trespasses on someone’s property. If there are signs up that are clearly visible saying “dangerous dog on property” then it is clear to me that it is the trespasser’s fault if they get attached. Putting a dog to sleep and give him a stamp of being a bad dog for doing his job, breaks my heart. I am proud Doberman owner myself and his name is Merlin. Merlin is absolutely the most wonderful Doberman, he is very loving, super athletic, and kind. But if there is anything suspicious going on, watch out. This sweet dog will turn into a ferocious and protective dog in a second, just the way he was trained to be. I say, let these wonderful dogs and fierce protectors do their job!

[@taylorle1206]

Stunning example of the breed. Very real video of the reality of training. I have a 2 year old Doberman who's massive. He's 32 inches at the wither. I've had to train him intensely because of his size. Where small dogs get away with certain behavior - big dogs, esp. Doberman's don't.

[@notsosilentmajority1]

A properly bred Doberman Pinscher is the premiere personal protection dog in the world. They are the only dog that was bred from their beginning to be a personal protection dog. They are extremely intelligent and capable of being active all day or sitting quietly in an office setting, protecting their people. Many Western nations have bred much of their drive and working ability out of them and turned them into glorified couch buddies but there are still some excellent breeders that are producing true working type Dobermans. Creed is a beautiful specimen of a Doberman and his deep rich coloring is gorgeous. Working Dobermans should retain their docking and cropping as this serves a legitimate working purpose. Luckily, the US and Eastern European nations still understand the purpose of these procedures. Too many Western dogs have been refined and slimmed down, while others are turning out dogs that are over 100 pounds. A proper working Doberman should not be that heavy, these dogs were bred for strength, speed and agility. They can't do everything they were designed to do when they're 100 pounds or more and it definitely takes away from their speed and agility. Eastern Europe seems to have a much better "stock" of working line Doberman Pinschers with a solid build. There are many fantastic working dogs in the world but the Doberman is the best combination of brains, brawn and beauty.

Any Doberman without expensive extensive training will not perform like that. You cannot just buy a protection dog based on genetics.

@@Animal-Watch You really should be more transparent. How much did the training of that dog cost? That Doberman like many other guardian breeds go through extensive training to get to that point. And the cost of a trained dog is so expensive most pet owners cannot afford it. Without extensive training the most you will have is a watch dog.

[@Blacksheep12267]

Were I to pay to have my dog trained it would cost 30 to 40 thousand USD. My dog is a companion and "training" is part of daily life. Learning to work with me is a pleasure for my dog.

I do not employ a handyman, Gardner, Mechanic, House Keeper, Driver or Doorman. Make sure the vet notes an assessment of temperament as part of routine care.

I had two dobermans in my life and they're all around great dogs. Now I have a Cane Corso. I want to get another Cane Corso so I can train that one to be a service dog for my mother. My mom has an undiagnosed nerve disease and she's on oxygen. It would be great to have a service dog to carry around her oxygen tank among the many other things that a service dog does.

[@Izamota-q5v]

A cane corso is one of the worst breeds you could pick to be a service dog. Service dogs get grabbed, kicked, stepped on, and people(including grown men) barking and yelling at them - They also have to be okay with paramedic taking care of an injured or sick owner. They have to be able to calmly ignore other service dogs, as well as fake service dogs lunging, barking at, and trying to attack them. Regardless of if the other dog attacked them, your corso would get the blame when it hurt the other dog defending itself. Cane corsos are not bred to tolerate that, and the paramedic senario is a big part of why even german shepherds quit being used by most organizations - Both breeds will want to defend their incapacitated owner. If you want a large breed for that you'd want a large enlish lab, golden, or great dane. Danes are less popular for service work do to a shorter working life, but far more suited than a corso.

He’s already graduated from 3 obedience programs. Dobermans are working dogs that need a job, and I’m so excited to do protection training when we’re ready.

I trained dogs for over thirty years. I believe your dog should be allowed to protect you in your own home . Regardless. I've always believed this .

He is pushy, i always need to stay on top of my game with him. He is 40 kilogram and SO strong, it's crazy. They are musculair and very strong.

I have a bullmastiff/American staffy mix as my Assistance Dog, he loves kids and most women but he doesn’t want anyone hanging around our home, and just his bark and attitude is enough to scare people off the property. He’s totally different in public though, he is very friendly and happy to walk around most people but will block people from getting close to me if they have bad vibes or if he can smell a lot of drugs and alcohol on a person. We have similar laws about the “Danger” dog signs so I got one that says “Caution Dog running loose” for our side gate. It lets people know there’s a dog around without saying they’re aggressive, I also have a lock on the gate so people can’t let my dogs out as we live in an extremely busy area in the CBD.

Potential owners need to be completely honest about what they intend to do. Having a large garden for the puppy does not mean training and exercise can be skipped. Lazy owners should not own high energy dogs (or any dog). Owners with small kids may not have the time and dedication to provide a puppy. It's not fair to the breed of dog, the breeder, or the dog itself. This stigma also makes it incredibly hard for responsible people who live in apartments to have dogs.

I understand tail docking for some breeds. As they are prone to hit them on cabinets and corners and actually break the tail. But i feel there is 0 need to crop the ears. The fact he still has his ears is amazing. No need to do it for a normal family dog. Just keep the ears clean and take care of the dog properly. I had a Giant Alaskan Malamute before. Its actually my profile pick as a puppy. She was the runt and still 125lb. She was put down a few years ago. She had a great life. My next god i want is a European Doberman. But they have to have the ears natural in my opinion. If i can keep the tail i will as well. If it has to be docked so be it. But the ears are a deal breaker to me. It has to have natural ears always.

[@skulver]

@@Pler1978 Surely the onus should be on the one doing the cropping to argue a solid benefit and not on the one opposing it to argue against it and not chopping bits off a dog should be the default absent an incredibly good reason? Cropping of tails and ears robs a dog of a huge amount of it's natural expressiveness. There are three main reasons to do it I hear, the first is aesthetic considerations. Some people just prefer how it looks and this I'd argue is the weakest argument. A person seen scarring a dog because they thought the scars looked cool would be rightly reviled but somehow cutting bits off for the same reason is acceptable. The second argument is some sort of fighting effectiveness argument, that they provide less areas for other dogs / people to grip. I'd argue there that unless the dog really is in a high risk occupation it's basically just vanity again and even in those roles the fact that it is so breed specific as to whether or not it happens undercuts the argument. Even within working dog groups the fact there is no common standard suggests that even that benefit is at best slight enough to be uncertain if it even exists. The last argument, that it makes the dog look more intimidating (floppy eared dogs with wagging tails tending to be less scary than dogs with their ears pricked and an unmoving stump of a tail) but again, that's just vanity again. In the end it's all vanity I think and I'd argue that that's a terrible reason to remove pieces from any animal. Now I'll concede that the overall harm to the dog isn't huge and I'd much rather see a dog have a good owner who cropped them than a bad one who left them intact but I think overall it would be better not to do so if for no other reason than it harms the breed. If people saw rotties and dobermans with wagging tails and floppy ears they would have much more positive reactions to the dogs. The fact that a lot of the misapprehensions people have about those breeds comes down to owners modifying the dogs to make them look scarier than they are is a certain detriment to the breeds which should be avoided.

[@KnowledgeIsComfort]

Ears are cropped, especially in protection Dobermans to eliminate being grabbed or bitten easily. Otherwise, it wouldn’t matter except for the fact that they look much more intimidating

[@skulver]

​@@KnowledgeIsComfort Protection dogs should never be fighting other dogs though. If that is happening it is an absolute sign of either poor handling or mistreatment. As for fighting other people, again that should never be the case, in cases where a dog is set on a person the goal should be either to stop the target so that humans can come deal with them or to create space for escape. There is no scenario I can think of where a protection dog should be expected to single-handedly deal with either a dog or a human opponent. That way of thinking comes from dog fighting sport which I think we can all agree is rightly and justly outlawed in all civilized countries.

[@Dan_Dropper]

I'm pretty sure it was Herr Louis Dobermann, not Carl Dobermann. The well-known breeds that make the first Doberman were Greyhound, Pointer, Rottweiler, and many more. The first man who was interested in breeding Dobermans after Herr Louis Dobermann was called Otto Goeller. Otto Goelle was also the founder of the first "Dobermann pinscherklub" in Apolda, Southern Germany, 1899. The following year, the Doberman pinscher breed was accepted as a new breed in Germany.

I've always wondered, how does the dog switch off from attacking the sparring partner? How does a trainer be a 'friend' to the dog and train it and show love while also being the 'enemy' when training? Does using the trainer as a fake attacker not create distrust in the dog towards that person? This is a genuine question. Obviously it works and I'm all for it. I'm just really curious how that plays out.

[@queennanna5595]

Dobermans used to have natural protective ability. Now though like most "protective" breeds it is not natural instinct but has to be trained into the dog otherwise the dog won't protect you. Most guard dogs still maintain the watchdog ability to alert by barking and being territorial but to go into a full-blown attack to protect requires extensive training which cost over 30000 dollars minimum. The dog featured in this video has been trained and without training would be a watch dog at best. This dog will not protect without training, and this has been proven over and over with different guard dogs breeds. Scenarios have been set up with fake break ins with someone wearing a bite suit and most dogs without extensive training never put up a fight. What would be great is if protection training were not so expensive and made more affordable to pet homes so owners could rely on their protection dogs to do what they were created to do which is to protect. Unfortunately, the most you get out of these "guardian" breeds is deterrence in that most criminals won't rob a house or attack someone on the street when they have one of these dogs because criminals don't want to take a chance of invading a house with a dog when they could go into a house without one. This is based on the fact that criminals don't know that most dogs will not go on the attack they just don't want to take a chance if the dog does. Criminals don't know whether a dog that a guarding breed is trained in protection or not. And at the very least a Doberman will alert to a criminal's presence and that is usually enough to back off a criminal. This gives an owner the opportunity to call the police or retrieve a gun or both. Even the smallest of dog breeds such as a Chiwawa is a deterrence because they sound like an alarm and won't stop barking and are actually braver than a lot of these large dogs. In an attack though they don't stand a chance but if you want a dog to alert you the smallest of dogs will do that.

Interesting episode. The Doberman is one of my favourite breeds. The only thing I don't like about this breed is having to have their ears and tails cropped before they can get that "menacing" look.

[@joselynreeves218]

hiii! i have an american dobie and we kept his ears natural! he’s the cutest sweetest boy. when we got him he had his tail docked. they are prone to “happy tail” which means since they are high energy dog breeds they will wag it and hit it on hard surfaces. this often leads to infection and often amputation of the tail when the dog is older, thus more traumatizing to the dog.

That whippy tail breaks it requires an amputation severing a fully developed nerve network. Chronic pain for the animals remaining life. Morally justify castrating the animal but a cosmetic surgery to nerveless cartilage is terrible.

Love your videos there great just getting into the breed of mastin Espanol don't know if there are any breeds in UK but think it wood be nice for you to see if you can make a video 😊

[@ebinom8112]

It would be interesting to see what breed of dog Gurpal (Creed's trainer) has and how well it does on all these personal protection stuff.

[@jimclarke1108]

Jim I see you everywhere, great minds think alike. Cheers mate!

@Animal-Warch. My comment is not about this video. Apologies for that but I saw your video about Dire Wolves. ( Not a wolf) & I was wondering if you could do a research video on the Tasmanian Tiger to see if there is any common ancient ancestry between Dire Wolves & modern Canines ?

[@clairewilliams7762]

BTW it's spelt Dobermann originally!

[@bornfuct]

I didn’t know that…thanks

[@Animal-Watch]

Yes but it’s also spelled with one N too

[@darrenhouse3396]

Where is creed kennels located?

[@maubrutalizer]

the most i look for a dog and search for different types if dogs, the more doberman rules them all

[@jobond3317]

What about the lack of tail????????

[@jobond3317]

Interesting. Do these protection Doberman have genetic health issues and are breeders trying to bred it out

[@kindmoonmushroom2146]

У них є хвороби серця

[@heavenleigh3344]

😅 I just found a breed in development that I would love to see Animal Watch cover. The Kunming Wolf dog, or the "MAX" Chinese German Shepherd Dog. 😂 Think of a Great Dane crossed with a GSD.

[@2quick24]

This is all well and good....until the dog "snaps" for unexplained reasons. I know a policemen here in town who had a K-9 police dog living with him and on the job. The man was asleep on his sofa and the dog snapped for no reason and bit the man's ear off.

[@kindmoonmushroom2146]

Як часто трапляються такі інциденти?

[@ashdoglsu]

Every little girl should have one these

[@MTGWithMike]

There would be thousands of dead little girls then... This is not a dog to be left alone with children unsupervised - You must not understand dogs at all if you suggested this.

[@Animal-Watch]

Doberman is one of the top family protection dogs as they can be trusted with families..

[@xdrazormon454]

Could they fight 2 or more people like if gang members attack me on the street. Could they bark and growl like to warn them and bite as a last resort

[@plastikloser]

You don't need to crop the ears and dock the tails. That's purely cosmetic. I've had a friend with a natural Dobbie and the tail never broke and ears never had problems.

[@mmtsbp477]

Can you introduce greyhound?

[@yedukrishnaas4147]

❤

[@Noahsark17]

First of all, to find a good Doberman, you will have to search, and civilian protection work is different to mainstream protection work. We never ever send dogs to fly out if a car to bite, unless theirs an imminent deadly threat, that cannot be dealt with in no other way.
