Temperament: The Doberman is intelligent and makes a faithful companion and protector of home and family. Although his ability to guard has earned him a fierce reputation for aggression, that trait has been somewhat softened though responsible breeding. When properly trained and handled, this breed is very trustworthy with children, friends and family and makes a loyal companion. Doberman's have a domineering nature and early obedience training and socializations is a must. The Doberman owner should be confident, calm and assertive.

Trivia: A life-size bronze sculpture of a Doberman entitled, "Always Faithful," is located in the war dog cemetery at the U.S. navel base in Orote Point in Guam.

They are also very amusing, clown like and play like kittens!

My Dobies have all come from rescue and I could not ask for better companions. They are my babies and respond to love and praise. Dobies are excellent indoor dogs.
