Ever since I have know hubby he has wanted a dobermann. He adores them. I on the other hand was a little apprehensive. I cant say that the image that has been portrayed of them as being vicious and savage helped with my thinking. After months and months of research and watching You tube videos I started to learn that this image couldn't be further from the truth.
Dobermanns are wonderful companions, great in a family environment, loyal and well pretty darn dopey too. You don't see many of them down at the beach or the parks, but when you do their owners always say the same thing "I wouldn't have any other dog". It is a shame that unfortunately this image still follows them some what, but as an owner of a doberman now myself, I too wouldn't have any other dog. In fact I am now the one trying to convince hubby to get another one............. or two!!
I don't think a dog is born vicious, its how you train and treat them that makes the difference.
It certainly has been a journey (or probably more correctly a hand full) having a puppy in the house - beds chewed to bits, massive holes in the garden - some so big Chilli could stand in them and all you see is his nose. Three socks eaten whole - three emergency visits to the vet. Plants ripped out and everything in his sight chewed. However I wouldn't change any of it. Nothing better then when I come home from work and he is standing on the upstairs landing, looking down at me with his big ears flapping away.
We have had many adventures with Chilli down at the Whiteman Dog Park. We are there every weekend. Its a great area to take your lovable pets. Its closed in and they can roam around as they wish and most of all they can play with all the other dogs down their too. Its a great way to wear your dog out and have them sleep for the rest of the weekend.
Puppy love.....

Did you know: Dobermanns are known as Dobercows as they like to eat grass.
