      Growing up we had a red female Doberman, what an awesome pet she was, I still miss her today. I have a Female Boston Terrier as we speak, she is my baby. Thanks for the video.👍🐶

      It's sad that in some countries they still dock there tails and let their ears stand up. So unnatural and unnecessary

      Given that I'm petrified of Rottweilers, having had nothing but bad experiences with them, I'd go with a Doberman in a heartbeat.

      Didn't know that the Doberman Pinscher breed derived from the Rotwilder. Rotwilders were used by the Roman Legions as guards & protectors during their point in history.

      While I've known several people to be bit by a doberman I've only known a Rottweiler to attack its own family I've never heard of a doberman attacking his own family unfortunately I did know of a family that had one of their children attacked pretty viciously by Rottweiler. That being said I have no idea of the circumstances leading up to the attack the kid could have been instigating it I'm unsure all I am sure of was the kid was pretty severely mauled.
