The Doberman Pinscher

Dobermans are highly energetic, sensitive dogs that respond well to love and praise. Watchful, determined, alert, fearless, loyal and obedient, they make excellent guard dogs.

Dobermans get along with children and other animals if raised with them and if treated with respect, but they can be aggressive with other dogs.

While they are natural guard dogs, some Dobermans are so sweet they will let strangers take anything from their homes in exchange for petting and playtime. Basic obedience training is mandatory to socialize young Dobermans and enhance bonding with their owners.

Thet needs a secure space to run off-leash in rapid bursts of speed. Walking or jogging is usually not enough.
