Hi Guys.
I want to reach out to you all in order to get more information on personal experiences with the Doberman breed.
My young Family live in an area of western Melbourne that unfortunately is experiencing an increase in crime. Car jackings, car thefts in drive way or in garage, home invasions, you get the picture. Now don't get me wrong, I love my street. Very quiet, no feral bogans having parties in their garages with ac/dc blaring till all hours. Thankfully no. However I am aware hat Crime is way up and it is getting worse.
With all that said and given I am away a fair bit in the City while Mrs.Woodstock and our 8 and 4 years olds are at home, I am making enquiries with a couple pedigree breeders at the moment.
We already have a Labrador at home. As those with dog experience will know, and our girl is old and getting still at 12, Labs are the biggest softies and do not make the ideal family guard dog.
I know what I want and Dobermans appear to have the physical and temperament traits which I am after. Confident, calm, child friendly, yet when push comes to shove, will guard my family and property at a word. I am aware that there are working and non working types out there and there different requirements for each.
Do any of you have experience with this breed and are there any recommendations and insights you wish to pass on. Highly appreciated as this is a big investment for the family, in time, money and of course emotionally.
Thanks
Woody
