Sounds like that has been a goal of yours. We all have our little strange goals. Congratulations.

Been attacked a few times, never bit. I did pretty good though for what that dog was trying to dish out. Only ended up with a small flap loose on the elbow and a single puncture wound to my calf. Not bad for being bit 5 times in two seconds. Seems that dog must be a big fan of Tasmanian Devil cartoons

If you were a normally-sized human, he would have bit you on the elbow.

He'll bite someone else and his owners will get sued and he'll get put down then. Have seen it happen more than once.
Cost my co-workers elderly parents almost 50k.

At 9 or 10 I got bit in the face by a Saint Bernard. Top canine went above my right eye. Bottom canine went below my left eye. I always think if I had been an inch taller, or an inch shorter, one of my eyes would be gone.

Dogs have great instinct about who’s good or bad people….

This one got it wrong and was so distraught over it, it committed suicide.

Got charged by one of those when I was 15. Terrifying! Was riding a bike in the street. It jumped off a front porch and flew across the yard in a single bound. Put the skids on tearing ruts in the grass and stopped right at the edge of the property line. Barking like a banshee from 3 feet away, frothing at the mouth with bloodshot eyes. Stopped with the bike positioned between us. Said nothing, did nothing, just waited for it to turn around and leave. Never went down that street again lol.

Not good. Fell asleep in my computer chair. Dreamed an animal was trying to bite my leg. Kicked my monitor off the desk and broke it. Most of the viewing screen is kaput. Can't order online. No visible check out buttons. What a crapfest. Damned dog.


ETA - New monitor... Back to being subnormal again.

What do you disagree with? The fact that they are completely different or that they are good looking dogs?

They are known to be stupid, even having issues with skulls that are too small putting pressure on their brain.

There is a reason GSDs lead the blind, rescue people, take down bad guys, find drugs, go to war and master every job. You don’t see Dobermans doing any of this.

State your counter position instead of being a half assed clown slinging drive by insults.

TLDR: Dobermans are among the dumbest dogs.

What I'm hearing you say is that Dobermans are the bouncers of the dog world?

Mr. Snik, Here's a post I made on another thread:

"AND I agree, I am a Simpleton!

I misread and seriously owe an apology to Snik! Thought he said “looks like a killer” but he posted, “ looks killer”….. I’m dumb…"

But to continue briefly, your statements really are incorrect. Dobermans and German Shepherds are listed as the 3rd and 5th most intelligent of dogs. Both are wonderful breeds and I do love them both.

To repeat the real point of my words earlier , it being a dog they can and do cause harm to a human being, as they have that ability to do so. For whatever the reason or situation, trained or not so well trained....

I misread your post, my mistake!

BUT as Don Rickles, it's my job to insult!

PS: My Dad had Shepherds for decades.
