Pros & Cons of a Doberman Pinscher | Dog Breeds

Pros & Cons of a Doberman Pinscher | Dog Breeds

I’m Julia Szabo, also known as a Pet Reporter,
and I am the “Living with Dogs” columnist
for dogster.com.
I’ve actually written 6 books and I’m hard
at work on my next one.
It will be about about dogs — that’s as much
as I can say right now.
I love dogs and I think nobody’s life is complete
without one.
So I’m here to tell you about a variety of
different dogs breeds that might suit your
lifestyle.
I hope you’ll adopt one soon.
The Doberman is a beautiful, beautiful breed
of dog.
He was actually created by a German tax collector
named Karl Friedrich Louis Dobermann in Germany
in the 19th century.
Mr. Dobermann wanted a dog who come with him
and be intimidating looking enough that he
could go into, you know, among angry people
when he was collecting taxes.
So of course the Doberman does have the intimidating
look to him, but he is just a wonderful sweetheart
of a dog.
A friend of mine is a photographer.
Her name is Heather Green, and she actually
photographs dogs.
That’s her profession.
She does beautiful portraits.
And one of her own 3 dogs is a Doberman named
Jaden.
And Jaden is really, just, she knows how beautiful
she is.
And she vogues and she poses, and she comes
and cuddles right on your lap.
She literally, like, she comes and sits on
my chest when I go visit.
So, if properly cared for and properly trained,
just like any dog, a doberman makes a wonderful,
wonderful companion.
They have a little aspect of the Greyhound,
a little aspect of the Rottweiler.
They’re just beautiful.
With a Doberman, you really want to be engaged
with this dog.
You want to train him or her.
You want to do stuff with the dog.
You don’t want to leave her along, you know?
Because she’s really into you, and she’s so
intelligent, and such an athlete.
So ideally, you’re a person who really loves
hanging out with your dog.
Is active, at the very least, you like to
walk 3 or 4 times a day.
It’s a mental athlete, and a physical athlete,
so that’s a lot of dog.
But, you know what?
There are a lot of people who are up to the
challenge.
It’ just a beautiful breed, and definitely
one of the breeds that, you know, if I live
long enough, I hope I get to have.
