Question:
Is this dog breed very aggressive? I want to have a kind dog for
myself. And I care neither for the price nor for the pedigree of Doberman.
Answer:
Highly-developed mentality is peculiar to Dobermans
and due to that characteristic, individual differences of every
dog are various. It is important to approximate to the
choice of Doberman puppy by means of behavioral tests, listen
to dog breeder’s opinion and buy the dog not from accidental
breeders but in Kennel.
In whole this breed is not aggressive, but Dobermans
claim for attention mostly due to their mobility and hot
temperament. If you do not set this dog at a figurant and
exasperate then Doberman gets along with family members too
well, Dobermans-males
love kids but Dobermans-females may show indifference, temper and
jealousy of children.
If there are little kids in house one should be careful at all
accounts, because children do not understand behavior of dogs and
may occasionally provoke an attack. All Dobermans need proper and
permanent training, education and “correct public conduct”.
Being unusually smart and able to study, Doberman
is not one of those dogs that can easily taught “to play it cool”-
do not forget that it is not a fancy but working dog breed with
all that implies. Under unfavorable circumstances Doberman
may be of serious hazard to the wider public.
Specifically this has relation to large males that are extremely
powerful. Some individuals are quite human-friendly, sometimes may
show sharp aggression, cruel impatience towards small animals such
as cats, dogs and others. Doberman is not quite suitable for
dwelling in house.
One may even say that Doberman is mainly a manor dog. In
spite of the fact that Doberman is a good guardian and
excellent copartner during pastime it is unable to live outside in
a booth in moderate climate due to its sensibility not only to
cold but also to heat.
It is totally forbidden to put Doberman on the leash!!! This
dog needs qualitative feeding and in good supply. Concluding, only
those people are recommended to have Doberman whose financial
health is good and social status is stable and who have home on
their own and its territory is securely fenced where Doberman
may pass the time having the opportunity to get home for meal,
rest and sleep. Off leash walks of Dobermans are not allowed
beyond the specified territory and especially in town.
Before having Doberman puppy it is imperative (as required by
humanity and for the sake of your well-being) to read a couple of
good books on this dog breed and face-to-face have a word with dog
owners who have been keeping Dobermans for long time.
Otherwise you risk of committing an inconsiderate act which
you will regret bitterly in future. Under no circumstances you
should acquire Doberman for underage kid (it does not occur to
you that you’d present a service pistol to your baby).
