Disgraceful Doberman propaganda, no doubt penned by Odhinn.

Any dog is what it’s master makes it.

I’m sick of these pu$$ies treating a dog differently because of looks. Sounds kinda like the argument about “assault” weapons doesn’t it.

Dobies as “evil” is pretty passe.

Pitbulls are the newest issue.

Private Dobermann on the Phil Silvers Show was both family friendly and a fearsome looking warrior in a gasmask.

Exactly. Then my pu&&y neighbor guy who effing carries a small dog on his shoulder close to his face instead of dropping it on the floor and letting it walk is damn pathetic.

When I was in high school I baby-sat for two small children that had two Doberman’s in the home. They stared at me the whole evening and I was starting to freak out but they didn’t bark or move and I never thought to converse with them. I was frozen and so were they.

My Sheba was the sweetest dog in the world. I miss her terribly.

Dogs are dogs. Left to themselves, they revert to nature and sometimes nature isn’t very pretty. I see dogs that aren’t socialized and have never had to wear a leash. Seeing a vet isn’t a happy time for the ones that have rarely been schooled or handled. Many dog owners are not smart enough to handle them, especially the smarter dogs such as Border Collies, Standard Poodles, and some hybrids.

I can’t say too much. Mrs rikkir cuddles our Pekipoo like a baby, and rubs his belly until he falls asleep. He ain’t spoiled or anything. ;)

My business partner had two Dobies that were well socialized. I did find that the best response on meeting them the first time was to given them attention. And they remember the attention that they are given during that first meeting. So subsequent meeting yes they get a bit hyper. As in they want to greet you, and they want you to pet them. You can quickly become part of their “pack”.

Unfortunately the dogs had to be put down due to health reasons, possibly due to that crap dog food that was coming from China.

Never hit your dog in training.

Your voice with perhaps a hand clap to get their attention should be enough.

When your dog is smiling (wrinkling their noses to expose their teeth while practically wriggling out of their skin with delight that you finally got back from the ten minute trip to the store) don't laugh when it makes them sneeze. It offends their dignity.

They are LAP DOGS!

They lap up the water in the bowl and bring the leftovers to You.

After You change clothes They climb up in Your lap and take a nap.

I have seen pits that were raised abused by gang members until they were completely crazy. Unfortunately, it was usually the dog who was put down, rather than the owners who actually deserved it.
