dobermans=the shit. i've had 3 personally with 2 litters also. my grandma had one and now has a raughtweiler (sp?) those are my 2 fav dogs. the raught is just a huge puppy, but he scares everyone do to what he is, as long as u dont touch his bone, he'll only lick ya to death. plus i grew up since i was about 4 or 5 with a dobey, he just passed away about a year ago, 16 year old dobey, and he was obedient to his last day.
