I love the picture and your comment - LOL - but as a Doberman owner I have to say that Dobies are wonderful and loving dogs that are not aggressive by nature...a Chihuahua is much more likely to bite a stranger than a Dobie.

See ya...

My 90 lb. female Dobie looks fearsome, but is just a big baby. She plays with the grandkids. Very gentle.

What's amazing is the reaction of people that don't know her. People have been conditioned that Dobies will immediately rip their throats out (Boys of Brazil).

My grandfather raised dobermans and I love them. For the most part your statement is true, the problem is that every once in a while a mean aggressive one is born, and in that case they are a much more problematic breed than the Chihuahua.

He had a mean one born in one of his litters and refused to sell her as a pup or put her down when she really became dangerous. He lived out in the country on a farm and the family and friends of the family knew to honk the horn till my grandparents had time to put her up and come and meet you at the car. It worked for years until one day a stranger showed up. If it had been today and not 30 years ago he would have been sued.
