Here's what the humans have to say about me:
#155 Chance
Breed: Doberman
Sex: neutered male
Age: date of birth: Feb 4, 2004
Personal: My name is Chance and I have a lot to offer. I am nobel, loyal and affectionate with family. I am good with children. I get along well with other dogs, and I am good with cats. I love people and like to be physically close to family members. I am sweet, gentle, and well behaved. I walk well on a leash and I will sit when asked. I am intelligent, alert, quick to learn, and I am eager to please. I would make an excellent family companion and I need my very own family. If you can give me a good home please contact Ahimsa Rescue soon.
The Doberman has the reputation of being a very aggressive dog, this is just not the case. For example, Dobes make great therapy dogs. They are sweet and gentle with nursing-home patients - tippy-toeing over IV tubing and walking at the resident's speed (which can be very slow), while at the same time will fiercely defend his master if it becomes necessary. These dogs are like big, protective babies. Doberman Pinschers have many talents including tracking, watchdogging, guarding, police work, military work, search & rescue, therapy work, competitive obedience and schutzhund. Dobermans vary greatly in temperament. Some are even very submissive. Some individuals are family dogs, and some bond only to one person. The Doberman has been bred to work with man, and he needs this interaction often. They must be with family, and not abandoned to the backyard. England has banned the cropping of pup ears and the docking of their tails. Lately, many breeders have left their pups natural. If left natural they develop ears somewhat like a hound. If the tail is not docked it grows a tail somewhat like hound. Versatile, highly intelligent and very easy to train. Determined, fearless and assertive, but not vicious. Noble, loyal and affectionate with the family. It likes to be physically close to the family members. Devoted and watchful, this is a very people oriented breed. Mental stimulation is important for a truly well-adjusted and happy Dobe. Training should be through positive reinforcement.
