First dog (doberman?)

Dobermans are my dream dogs, for friendship and zoo, but question I have is ... how are they? Have you known anyone whos an owner, or are you yourself an owner? Seeking advice and guidance. Needing a good boy!
 
I grew up with a rott-dobie mix. He was one of the best examples of a dog that I know of. Protected the house from a thief who only left a bloody sleeve and didn't take anything. Would have been nice if he knew how to close the door during a blizzard, but 8/10 protection. He didn't allow anybody to harm me growing up and could be controlled by me with ease with light leash corrections or voice commands at a distance. He never tried to not be gentle, but sometimes didn't appreciate how much he weighed when laying on or into a person.

I usually say working breed dogs need to be kept active, and that is true. I think that they need less then most other active/working breed dogs. They can easily destroy your house and sanity if you don't give them what they need, but they seem to have less incidents compared to others. I'm not sure if it is because they are not as popular right now, or if because they are naturally relaxed. I don't remember the dog growing up being anything but calm and obedient unless a potential physical threat was near me or my sister. Then if the 'threat' persisted and wasn't told it was okay, he looked terrifying and his menacing low growl typically resolved any potential issues. I don't think he was a trained protection dog either. He just naturally protected his family. Its possibly he was a failed protection trainee though. We got him as a trained, but still very young dog.

For those interested in zoophilia, Dobermans can make for very devoted companions. They're sensitive to human emotions and can form strong bonds. However, their high energy and need for mental stimulation mean you'll need to ensure they're fulfilled in all aspects of their life, not just the sexual one. Consent, as always, is nuanced with animals; you'll need to understand their body language deeply to ensure mutual enjoyment and comfort.💕

Good advice. 100% if they dont want it, nobody should ever force them. They need to be the ones initiating the act in my opinion. Im sure they also need a lot of walks, and have outburts of energy from time to time. Have yu ever owned one? Or known someone who has?

The Doberman is definitely not an ideal choice for new dog owners. It is one of the most intelligent and spirited dog breeds that requires consistent training and clear leadership. Without experience, it can be difficult to control his energy, protectiveness, and strong personality. It is suitable for experienced dog owners who are already well acquainted with the basics of dog training.
