Trashy bloodline, real Dobies are protecter for their own things, like home, owner, food especially. This is not the breed standard.

Both our dobies are rescues….who knows what their life was like before we got them. But they are still family and we love them regardless of their “bloodline”.

You’re a nut! That Dobe is adorable and my Dobe was a pure but he would have done that too – he was playing, his tail is wagging!

I hope you treat your Dobe right – hope you don’t just have one for your failing ego!

Why am nut, because am asking for the real instance for a great guard and protection breed! And there is a different between “pure breed” and “well breed”, for me I would like for my Doobies at least to be following the standard of the breed. This breed of dogs originally created for protection and guarding, great working breed, don’t kill it like this. And if i wanted a dog that is gonna waggle his tail around his food or home, I’ll get a Golden retrieve or something.

I certainly hope you do not presently, or ever, own a Doberman as you simply have no clue of their properly bred/trained temperament. Your “standard” is more fighting PitBull……..
Food aggression should not be tolerated and is easily eliminated with simple training.

And don’t worry I treat my dogs like my own children, am a big animal lover not just dogs! And i wish u do the same for ur furry babies.

It’s guarding breed, you should expect or demand that, but towards other people and animals, not the owner! And believe me i have a clue about what am talking about! And BIG NO for PITBULLS FIGHTING.

As much as your Dobie is lovely,lovable, tamed, it’s supposed to be the opposite towards strangers and around his own$#%&!@*

Not necessarily a “trashy” bloodline. My last Dobie was impeccably bred from excellent bloodlines, but was not food aggressive with any of my other animals – small dogs & cats. He was actually very protective of them!

American or European, male or female, fixed or not (or neutered). Is it working bloodline or pet bloodline, all these things make a difference

If that Dobe pup was raised with those Chickens who he has observed his masters caring for, they are a Family asset to be protected as the Dobe breed only wants to please his master.
