Dobies got a lot of bad press from Hollywierd, and the breed suffered from backyard inbreeders. The same thing happened to Rotties and Pits, then Dalmatians (thank-you, Disney Productions!).
LOL! Read your post #21. You inferred that since your dog experience with just one Doberman Pinscher was good, the entire study which included many of Doberman Pinschers that bit was flawed.
Here is what you said:
Doberman Pinschers
Bullsh*t! I grew up with one as a pet when I was 7 years old. There wasn't a viscious bone in that dogs body, at least not toward anyone who didn't try something foolish like breaking into the house or trying to harm anyone in the family.
PS, I have no dog in this fight, because I have no dog. I was simply struck by the way your post dismissed the entire study based on one experience.
Weres The lab & Cocker On That list??? Huh
I mean really Were Did You Find That List

I'm 43 years old. I've been attacked twice in my life. Both times by a Chow. Both times from behind as I walked down the sidewalk.
me too...on..."The Pitbull Problem"
I've owned nothing but labs and German Sheapords until now....i jave two going on three pits. I've never had a more obidient dog
Tell me about it! my Border collie at six weeks was already smarter than me!(im a dumb blonde) she learned three commands the first week and knows them perfectly!
i have a border collie puppy and her name is hershey!!! when she goes on walks with you and you stop to tie your shoe and someone else calls her she will just stay right by your side!!!! its amazing!!!! she is soo smart and energetic! for those of you who want a border collie and are really lazy.......... DONT GET ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have cockers and they say: Why change it? I can still pee on the carpet in the dark.
We had one once who had that problem, every time someone came to visit we had to take her outside to greet them or tell them to ignore her inside until she had time to calm down. The two we have now are fine. Just soft warm throw rugs.
Because even the owners know they are dangrous. That’s why they chain them up.
We have a friend with one and he herds her and her friends into a small circle. We’ll be standing up chatting and the next thing we know we are almost packed up together like sardines. The dog subtly circles us and gently nudges us intil we’re in a tight group. lol
The dog's temperament is flawless--wouldn't even know how to fight back. We love him. He is right now playing with his large bone throwing it in the air and trying to catch it. We're concerned he's going to throw it through the patio door.
Lately, he has decided he'll be the one to decide when we go to bed. First he has to get my husband there and then he works on me, barking until he gets us where he wants us.
We tend to go through the same thing in the am when it's time to rise. He's hilarious.
See my post no. 595. Exactly what I said. Our problem is minimal in that my husband is perfectly willing to stay home with Darren 24 hrs. a day.
I would think that the correct interpretation is "...the CDC says that the dumber a person is, the more likely they are to tangle with a chained dog." I mean, the dog is chained for a reason, and it ain't to protect itself.
We’ve got a 1 YO Golden Retriever that’s the smartest dog I’ve ever had. And I’ve had four German Shepherds and a Border Collie before. This is the 3rd Golden we’ve had, so I’m not saying all Goldens are this smart.
This guy is scary smart.
I can’t believe my toy fox terrier didn’t make the list. She weighs in at a gargantuan three pounds, and is the most dangerous breed out there. If you’re a potato chip, that is.
