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.
