DOBERMAN PINSCHER
The Doberman pinscher can
be described as loyal and adventurous. It is a
wonderful guardian for the family and home. It is
alert and intelligent, and it likes to be challenged
mentally. While it can be aggressive with strange
dogs, and reserved with strangers, the Doberman is
loyal and loving to its family. It is best suited
for a family with older children. The reputation of
viciousness is misleading, but this breed is usually
determined, fearless, and assertive, making it an
ideal guard dog. It is important for the entire
family to be able to handle the dog in a proper
fashion – the Doberman can become pushy if
guidelines are not set. Training is best
accomplished through positive reinforcement, and
females tend to be slightly more stubborn to train.
The Doberman can also be a wonderful therapy dog if
well trained at an early age, and they can be gentle
and affectionate with nursing home patients. |
