One Of a Kind Elite
The Doberman is one of the most unique breeds in the entire world. They are the only dogs specifically designed for the protection of people, and not just property. As a result, they are large in stature, very smart, extraordinarily agile, energetic and loving. Consequently, I often tell prospective Doberman owners that their pros double as their cons.
For example, in order to fulfill their designed role as a protector of people, it is critical that Dobermans are confident, intelligent, energetic, large, look intimidating, and have the teeth to back it up. On the other hand, this can make them headstrong, difficult to control, and daunting for those that do not know how to handle such an incredible canine.
While personality plays a key factor in a Doberman's behavior, your own demeanor, body language, and overall confidence level has a drastic impact on this particular breed. To explain, due to their high intelligence level, Dobermans can instantly pick up on your attitude towards them and will respond accordingly. This response will vary with the personality of each Doberman. However, whether your Doberman is confident or timid and shy, the way you feel and behave towards them will directly impact your Doberman's actions.
