Oh Dobermans… the breed that has become one of the most popular of all dog breeds in the United States (and among celebrities)…
Is it because of their alert, obedient, loyal, energetic, fearless personality? or all of the above?
In spite of their fearsome reputation, Doberman Pinschers or Dobermans or Dobermanns or simply Dobes, are loving, affectionate intelligent dogs.
They are also known to be conscientious and sensitive, crafty and attentive, which would explain their success as police and military dogs.

I can say they are the best pet’s in the world and they are very loving. I can guaranteed that know one wanted to rob our home just cause of him plus we also had a white Shepherd at the same time and between the two they would have made someone sorry if they came into our place at night.
