But you mention down thread that you had a Doberman at one point...You don’t think Dobermans have ever killed anyone?

So, what breed do you own now?
You’re talking to somebody dog-body-language-illiterate enough to intentionally -stare- at a Dobe, which is the universal dog-code for challenge to battle, thereby provoking perfectly normal dog behavior, via a growl, while it *was* minding its own business, you know.
You seriously expect it to have any other useful Dobermann knowledge?
[or real, practical dog knowledge, at all, frankly]
I just hope to God that it never, -ever- owns another Dobe.
Talk about “people who want to look cool without knowing what they’re doing”.
*There* is the root of all your dog bite disasters.
Sure Dobermans have killed. Mine never bit anyone but I never quite trusted that she would not. I made sure it didn’t happen. If she acted weird or people were afraid of her, I put her outside in the gated yard on in another room with the door closed. Dogs sense fear.
We have a small, fairly rare breed, around 12-15 pounds. They are shown, finish their AKC championship. The ones not shown are spayed. I choose not to mention the breed. I don’t want snooper to go searching for them via oogle, not too hard to find pics of my dogs on there.
By the way, I don’t think Dobermans and Pit Bulls should even be mentioned in the same breath. Dobies are beautiful animals. Pit Bulls look like a mix breed gone horribly wrong. They are so ugly they disgust me.
