    I think Warlock got his name from the popular (at the time) sitcom "Bewitched", which called male witches warlocks. (Jan Griffiths).

  • @douglasgriffiths3534
    @douglasgriffiths3534 10 годин тому

    I traced my dogs' pedigrees back through the years, and found Warlock in the pedigrees. I was a kid at the time the original Warlock was showing. Of course, being a kid, it didn't interest me at the time. My dad was a Pug breeder, and my mom and I bred Siamese cats. My dogs have Warlock on their dam's side of their pedigrees. They are litter brothers. (Jan Griffiths).

    I have 2 neutered male Dobies. They are very protective, and have killed a couple of coyotes that jumped the fence onto my property. Coyotes never come around any more. They won't bother cats or birds. When I do have people over, I do have to confine them---they are not socialized. They are guard dogs. They know their job and do it well. People walking past my house on the street will be followed by the dogs as they walk past. My dogs will bark and snarl at them. I've had a couple of females in the past, and they were just as protective. (Jan Griffiths).

    There two elements that I'd like to know if they were considered. Was it the same for American / European dobermans and which was the sex of the handler of the doberman in those competitions and in the answers. From my observations, dobermans seems to bond easily with the opposite sex of human. As for the rest, thanks for the data! I have a male and female here and I can tell you the male would die for me and the female would probably run away as soon as she gets hurt.

    I’ve had several of both. I’d say overall, although my females were more sociable, they would be the first to confront someone - even if that someone is a person they’ve known their entire lives and and are used to seeing pop in and out several times daily. However, should that person try to enter without one of us present, they’d be met with growling from the stairs. One of my males (big guy 113 in his prime and not fat), was sneaky and would stay out of sight til he could come from behind people. Not a dog to be messed with which is why I have concerns about a bit of a mysterious event. Where I live, dogs go missing frequently - some lost, some stolen. Dobermanns are my preferred breed because I’ve never had one, nor have several friends ever had one, that wondered out of sight. They are always watching for us. Call one name and you get ‘em all. Not interested in any hunting breeds as they get focused on a scent. I don’t want to be in the woods searching for my family member and maybe never recover him/her.

    my female was very alert, but my big male was instantly there to throw himself on a bear, to save me from the fight of my life, he flew through the air over a fallen tree and hit the bear full speed, followed up with my German Shephard, mix rotty, she fought just as hard to drive off the bear, but Sam he came back with blood on his face and mouth, not his after chasing the bear thru the woods for 45 min. I say all are brave if they are treated with love, only problem with a big male, is they think the bed was made for them and want to take it all up, to be close. if your gonna have a male, expect to sleep on the edge of the bed. 🐕🐕🐾🐾🐶🐶❤❤🫶 thanks for the great vids

    My 20-21month old euro doberman is very very active. She's extremely toy and prey driven. She would make a great k9 I would say. She's freaking tough as nails and it's hard to "mentally" bother her if that makes sense. I've had 2 other labs and right now I've not noticed a difference between the doberman and them as far as in touch with emotions, but I think that's due to her age. She's excited by the world and everything out there interests her. Might try to do some agility or dock diving with her. She's fun.

    My European male weighs 120lbs. He is a brute. When I walk him, if he identifies a threat he will give a warning bark. Nobody, ever approaches him. Other dogs would occasionally rush him, but would stop when they realized what they were up against. He also only uses deliberate and necessary force. My American female 90lbs. is a different story. She never waits for trouble to come to her, but, is always looking for trouble. She is also an ambush dog. She will bird-dog a threat, but never bark. She just waits for a chance to make a run at the threat. She always acts in a desperate way, and has had me on the ground several times trying to keep her controlled. My female is definitely the one I would want watching my back.

    Good afternoon. I'm 75 ACTIVE senior, wanting to get another FEMALE red Doberman. Was a partner in a kennel. back in the mid 70's. Times and methods have changed in obedience and guard training. Amazingly, without all your research I agree with your conclusion. Will you recommend a good reliable breeder, or pass my Name and# to them where I can purchase a Doberman that has has all the Genetics and everything else tested. I know there is NO guarantees. I do want AMERICAN doberman. After 20 years,, It's time for me too have a companion.. Thanks Glenn
