Doberman Pinscher
Zeusa and Mehoo rescued through the Utah Dobes Rescue Organization
The Doberman Pinscher is a very loyal and protective dog, and needs an owner who is up to the task of managing the Dobe’s attributes. Early and consistent training and socialization are a must. The Doberman is very intelligent and easily trained (males easier than females). They tend to be aggressive toward other dogs. The Dobe is a very energetic dog and requires exercise. It can be a good apartment dog, but must be a part of the owner’s life and exercised daily. While a properly trained Dobe should be OK with children of the family it should not be assumed that it will be OK with other children. They are VERY protective. (Also see the German Pinscher)
