I have had 14 Dobermans since 1974 and two Am Staffs.
I’ve lost track of the times they killed me.

Doberdogs... oh how I love them!!
I watched the film Boys from Brazil a few weeks ago, and the Doberdogs were so adorable when acting “ferocious”!
They will do damage protecting their loved ones, but they are such tenderhearted pups.
Granted, my Dobe was mixed with Rott, but the personalities were so different. Albert was dapper, with spatial intelligence off the charts. He was a problem solver.
Ursa, my Rottie, was so emotionally evolved — a natural therapy dog. She was very popular when we’d bring her to the nursing home to visit my Dad.
The residents adored her, and she loved the attention.
And a real test of her behavior — an older woman, a stroke victim, just reached out and grabbed Ursa’s face without warning.
Ursa simply sat, allowed the woman to touch her face, gave her a kiss, and understood the situation. She was a dog like no other.
