Doberman Appreciation Thread!!!!!!!!!!

Next question! Why do you want/like dobies?
Oh boy… 🤭

I like that they are a naturally protective breed. I feel like if you have a dog you might as well have that added benefit of helping to keep you safe. I like that they are tall and lanky, I don’t like short stout dogs. I wish dobies were a little bigger, but they are good enough. As much as I love the books of fluffy dogs, I do like the short less shedding coat of a Doberman. I love how they tend to be velcro dogs. That’s my favorite thing about Chase, he’s always by my side. I am not married nor do I have kids, I plan to keep it that way, so I really like the Velcro, one person dog aspect of the breed. I also want a dog that is reserved with strangers, and even though some Dobies are the exact opposite I feel like as a whole they check this box. And I feel like since Doberman’s were specifically bred to work with people there are more people oriented than Shepherd breeds. But I feel like I’ve also heard people say the opposite so that I’m not sure about. Probably stuff I’m forgetting but that sums it up!!

Now tell me, why do you like German Shepherd so much? If I didn’t get a Doberman, it would be a beauceron, a Rottweiler, or a German Shepherd.

Well now I will have to admit... I didn't actually like gsds that much before getting one. I actually did not like the few I had met before!

I decided to get one because I needed a assistance dog and I really like Fanta's giant schnauzer half. I heard that gsd where similar to giants. I wanted something that wasn't too rare so I would have a lot of breeder options (turns out I was just lucky). I also missed Fanta's adolescence so I know I wanted something high maintenance, excitable, confident that loves playing and is easily trainable

Now that I have one. They are definitely some of those and are not really others! I love how interactive she is, she loves being part of everything. It doesn't have to be dog related she just wants to be there and "help". I also love how mischievous they are, she tries her hardest to make us laugh and is always up to something! She is extremely smart and has an amazing memory. She loves working but has quite a bit of independence, while she is usually close by and listen well without a reward or anything, she will do what she thinks is best or what she has learnt previously with little to no prompting. I found with Fanta she likes doing training or tricks and needs consistent clear instructions, while Pepsi she loves doing things with us and will pick up on routines

Last thing because it's getting long and I could probably go on forever. I really love how excited for life she is! Also I do like her protectiveness

Aww she sounds amazing! 🥰 you’d say that German shepherds are your favorite breed or you just really like Pepsi?

Both! I really like Pepsi but I have heard a lot of shepherds having similar or the same traits. I definitely plan on having more! The thing I don't really like is the breed community 🥲

Yeah for sure the breed community is full of jerks.

Just curious, based on what you know about GSDs how would you compare them to Dobermans? I do really like GSDs…
 
Ooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh are you gonna switch over!?
