Dobermans have lots of myths about them. Most famous is Dobes can even attack and kill their owners. Do not worry because it is just a myth. They are not like Pit Bulls. But Dobes are aggressive dogs to strangers this is true and very alert dogs. This makes them a good guard dogs. Especially Dobermans are into working group dogs.
Life span is little bit lower than other breeds with avg. 10-13 years. You can see easily most dobes have cancer. This can be because of inbreeding it said like most of inbreed big dogs. Also hip dysplasia is commonly seen.
People mostly know only black color dobermans but they can have different colors such as blue, red/brown, fawn, white ( albino).
Doberman owners usually crop their ears and dock their tails. This mostly done when they were puppy but some people do it when they are old but it will not work if you do it late. even sometimes it does not work when you do it on time because sometimes they cropping from wrong places etc. There are several more breeds can be cropped their ears and it will be like Dobes ears ( for example Great Danes ) not all breeds ears suitable for it anatomically. I personally against it but it is almost like dobermans' sign now. Without cropped ears and docked tails they not much look like doberman. In some countries and states it is banned. It can cause chronicle pain because of nerves it said.
They are very energetic dogs and hard to handle if not trained. Dobermans need exercises much. Especially running, jogging, daily walks. Also you need a big backyard with fences if you want to have a doberman.
Dobermans are easy to train breeds even one of the most trainable breed. Because they are highly intelligent breed.
