Doberman Pinscher Bites
Doberman Pinschers
Doberman Pinschers are medium-sized dogs known for their elegant appearance, endurance, and speed. The breed dates back to the 1890s, and Dobermans have a history as both guard dogs and police dogs. Because they were originally bred to be protective, Doberman Pinschers are fearless and are wildly stereotyped as aggressive animals.
Despite the stereotype, Doberman Pinschers remain popular pets today due to their loyal, alert and intelligent nature as well as their protectiveness. When properly trained, Doberman Pinschers can be loyal defenders and yet also respectful of their humans.
Unfortunately, some are not properly trained and, although they rank low on the scale of owner-directed aggression in a study of Breed Differences in Canine Aggression, they rank high on the scale of aggression directed at strangers. An aggressive Doberman can do significant harm to a person if the dog decides to bite.
