My parent’s neighbor had two family pet dobermans. One day on a walk the dogs turned on, and killed, the 3 yr old child. Devestating. I’m not saying all dobermans would do this but I would not take that chance.
Any dog if not properly trained will turn on its owner. Some breeds are more inclined towards aggressive behavior than most. Some breeds need more or specialized training to be part of a family. Tat being said the humans should do research on what breeds are social and which ones tend to be aggressive as well as what kind of training and time investment each breed requires. Dobies used to be the “bogyman” of dogs back in the 80’s.... kind of like American “pit-bulls” are today. Rubbish... if properly trained, if the proper amount of time is spent socializing these dogs is spent they can be a truely loving, loyal, and protective part of the family. The problem isn’t the dog its the human.
